Paula Jones scandal happened before he was in office. I agree any other election Trump would be dead in the water. He's set the bar so low with all the divisive rhetoric that our presidents are not even held to a higher moral standard. I remember John McCain having to defend his second marriage. Trump is on his third. Modern times.</p> <p>eta: Justice Thomas was appointed to the Supreme Court with a sex scandal. It's not a disqualifier, but this seems to be a different beast altogether. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2636318 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 15:32:25 +0000 sunny 2636318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: The Trump supporters are ridiculous. I was just watching a supporter deny that Trump said "look at her". Instead she claimed he only said "Look at her words". The host had to step in and say "No, he actually did say 'Look at her'". Then the Trump supporter pivots to Bill Clinton... giant eyeroll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2636299 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 14:54:05 +0000 Adira 2636299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: Ugh, right? I watch CNN and they have a couple Trump supporters on their panels and it's so hard listening to them justify why they continue to support him. "He apologized, let's move on!" "These are allegations and there's no proof, so let's move on!" "Can we PLEASE focus on the issues? Like Immigration and Clinton's e-mails??" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2636222 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 12:58:56 +0000 lawbee11 2636222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's making a speech right now. Re: the People magazine writer he said, "Take a look at her. Take a look at her words. I don't think so." Of course he made it about her appearance 🙄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2636218 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 12:56:32 +0000 littlebug 2636218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: Oh, I know, legally he can't be disqualified. But...ugh. </p> <p>I just keep thinking HOW can so many people just turn their head and ignore this behavior? Has society really fallen this far? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2636158 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 11:00:01 +0000 Mama Bird 2636158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: sadly, no, he's innocent until proven guilty. There's at least one current criminal case (child rape...) but it's well past the statute of limitations and may get tossed by the court, and in any case what can you prove years later? Hopefully we voters can deep-six his candidacy, and then the courts can deal with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2636059 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 08:57:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2636059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate this election so much. I HATE that there are people defending him like, it's not that big a deal, what about Bill Clinton (who, last I checked, is not running for president)? What is this saying to impressionable teenagers, boys and girls? I hate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2636034 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 08:24:45 +0000 littlebug 2636034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mean, shouldn't this disqualify him?

I went up to the stage during a commercial break and shook hands with several candidates. When I put my hand out to Trump, in a fashion that very clearly intended a handshake, he reached past my hand and touched my cheek, saying, "So beautiful." It was disturbing and inappropriate, especially since I was obviously a student (I was surrounded by a group of my peers and do not look particularly old for my age). I was in shock and I didn't say anything, but I regret not standing up to him for that small but unacceptable act."</p> <p>The confirmation that he DID act the way he described in the Billy Bush tape is unsurprising but I am so so so disgusted. I can only hope for the sake of this country that he loses in an absolute landslide AND takes out the Republican majorities in the Senate and House with him. We cannot let the party that stoked the fear and rage that Trump has been tapping throughout his candidacy for years get by unscathed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2635976 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 06:16:25 +0000 lawbee11 2635976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: There's also this:</p> <p><a href="http://people.com/politics/donald-trump-attacked-people-writer/?xid=socialflow_twitter_peoplemag" rel="nofollow">http://people.com/politics/donald-trump-attacked-people-writer/?xid=socialflow_twitter_peoplemag</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2635974 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 06:14:12 +0000 Adira 2635974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wait.

Our children should not have to live in a world where this kind of talk and the behavior that it defends is acceptable. I'd be absolutely HORRIFIED if I found out that my son was engaging in talk like this. I intend to raise my son to understand that a person's body is their own, and he has no right to touch it, grab it, or even talk about it without their permission - MALE OR FEMALE. It's not ok. What if the tables were turned? What if it was tape of Hillary talking about going around grabbing men's penises? Could you imagine the Republican outrage?!</p> <p>Also, is anyone else amused/disgusted by all these Republicans who are making statements that women deserve better and deserve respect. The same Republicans who, at every turn, are trying to deny women the rights to their own bodies. It's laughable to me, the hypocrisy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trump-billy-bush-tape/page/3#post-2634505 Sun, 09 Oct 2016 20:04:33 +0000 mrsbookworm 2634505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @jmarionsmith: Glad to hear it!
