Trump’s Sexual Assault on Women Force Republicans to Look To Pence

If Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, is the stabilizing factor in Trump’s 1-legged campaign, then removing Pence from the equation should eventually result in a loud thud as Trump’s campaign crushes to the ground.

That is the hope of some Republican officials in the wake of Trump’s confession that he happily committed sexual assault on unsuspecting women.

Donald Trump could be left without a running mate as GOP officials may consider pressuring Mike Pence to quit the race after he publicly stated that he could not ‘condone’ the billionaire’s crude hot mic comments.

A few GOP leaders may be considering a scenario in which they would convince Pence to leave the ticket, according to CNN.

Former Jeb Bush supporter, Vin Weber told the network that he would ‘absolutely’ call for Pence to leave the ticket as a way to put ‘immeasurable pressure’ on Trump to leave the race.

‘Pence is the anchor that keeps Trump in the race,’ so without him it would be over for the candidate, Weber said.

Pence’s advocacy for Trump came to a screeching, perhaps temporary, halt Saturday in the hours after Trump released a video apologizing for 2005 remarks in which he describes his aggressive conduct toward women.

The Indiana governor was said to be ‘beside himself’ over Trump’s comments.

Pence said in a statement about Trump: ‘I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them. I am grateful that he has expressed remorse and apologized to the American people.

Donald Trump Agreed – Ivanka Trump? She’s “a piece of ass” – Audio

Yes, there’s more. 

In the audio clip below, Donald Trump and Howard Stern discussed Trump’s kids, including the sexuality of his then 24-year-old daughter, Ivanka. And apparently showing her the respect she deserved, Donald Trump agreed with Howard Stern that his own daughter could be referred to as “a piece of ass.”

TRUMP: “My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka.”

STERN: “By the way, your daughter.”

TRUMP: “She’s beautiful.”

STERN: “Can I say this? A piece of ass.”

TRUMP: “Yeah.”

If he can agree to a comment like that about his own daughter, can you really give this Republican presidential nominee a free pass when it comes to respecting women?

Donald Trump Offers “Apology” for His Crude Statements About Women – Video

There’s an old Biblical proverb that proved to be true many, many times, and the unbelievable revelation from Donald Trump’s statements about women is no exception. That Biblical proverb says – for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks – Luke 6:45

Donald Trump has a storied history of womanizing and disrespecting members of the opposite sex. So this video of him talking about how he wanted to “fuck” a married woman and how he gets away with grabbing women “by the pussy” because of his fame, came as no surprise to many. But on Friday when the audio from his 2005 convo with Bill went public, there were a lot of shocked people out there, as if they thought better of Donald Trump!

Donald Trump felt the need to offer a statement, something his campaign called “an apology.”

“I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologize.

No Donald, you say what’s in your heart!

Amazingly, the people who are still pledging their support to Donald Trump are so-called, Christian “ministers.” Pastor Darrell Scott said he doesn’t condone Trump’s comments, but will not condemn Donald Trump for making those comments because he didn’t have the spiritual guidance back in 2005 when Trump made his statements.

Amazing!

GOP Nominee Donald Trump Brags – He “Grabs” Women by The “pussy”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Republican nominee for President of the United States.

In newly released tapes, Donald Trump, the leader of the Republican party can be heard making some extremely crude statements about things he has forcible done to unsuspecting women.

Using extraordinarily vulgar language, Donald J. Trump boasted in a 2005 conversation about pushing himself on women and kissing and groping them, remarks that were caught on a live microphone and widely circulated on Friday.

The revelation left the Republican Party shocked and reeling, and the House speaker abruptly withdrew Mr. Trump’s invitation to campaign alongside him on Saturday in Wisconsin.

During the exchange, with the television personality Billy Bush of the program “Access Hollywood,” Mr. Trump recalls how he once pursued a married woman and “moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there,” expressing regret that they did not have sex. But he brags of a special status with women: Because he was “a star,” he said, he could “grab them by the pussy” whenever he wanted.

“You can do anything,” Mr. Trump says.

It’s October, But This Is Not a Surprise

I suppose the real question is why it took so long for the smoking gun tape to make its way out of the sewer that is Donald Trump’s campaign for president. We’ve built up to this since 2010, when the Tea Party ran some candidates who decided that rape was a major public policy item, not for the shame and injustice it rained down on women, but because evidently many Republican men believed that a woman couldn’t get pregnant as a result of it or that it was much ado about nothing. Yes, we always knew that Trump was disgraceful sexist and that he saw women as objects to be conquered or groped, but somehow the morality bar got buried under the sand this presidential go ’round and his rantings became the stuff of boys will be boys or, worse, lauded by some as evidence that we’d lost our sense of humor in the haze and smoke of political correctness.

There’s a reason the word “correctness” is associated with the phrase. Because it’s correct to respect women, and the other minorities, and the physically challenged people Donald Trump has savaged. It’s correct to actually speak from facts and research, not from the good old 1950s paradigm that many of Trump’s supporters want the country to return to. And it’s correct to hold everybody accountable for remarks that denigrate any person for whatever reason.

And we are learning so much about the Republican Party and its candidates, aren’t we? Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate, said nothing after reporters repeatedly peppered him with questions about Trump’s remarks. Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s once and present advisor, reminded us that we’re electing the leader of the free world and one who needs to lead by example, not a Sunday school teacher, which presumably means that the president can say anything he wants in the interests of being tough.

Paul Ryan didn’t appear on stage with Trump. Sorry, not good enough.

The party leaders and elected officials need to condemn, in no uncertain words, what Trump has said. They need to disavow his campaign and, at the very least, withdraw their support. It’s bad enough that Trump’s ideas are dangerous and incoherent. It’s quite another for this man to think that he can follow a man like Barack Obama into the White House and have any moral standing.

This of course will be one of the topics of Sunday’s debate, but I expect that since voters will be asking questions, that they will move on to jobs and security and taxes and other issues that should be the crux of Sunday’s event. Hillary, though, will not leave it alone, nor should she. This is exactly why we need a strong woman as president. The country needs to get over the female leader barrier in the same way that we’ve smashed the race barrier at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Perhaps this means that we’ll get the landslide election we clearly deserve.

Senator Harry Reid – Donald Trump “Raped and Pillaged Atlantic City”

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has never been one to mince his words. In a conference call with reporters on Thursday, Reid let loose on the Republican’s choice to run the country, telling reporters that Trump “raped and pillaged Atlantic City.”

“Nothing is embarrassing to him,” Reid said on the call as quoted by Business Insider. He went on to double down on his criticism of Trump’s mispronunciation of “Nevada” at a rally in Reno. “If Trump doesn’t know how to pronounce the name of our state, how would Nevadans expect him to look out for our state?”

Reid also called Trump a “fraud” who “thinks he’s above the requirement of being candid with the American people” for refusing to release his tax returns.

“He raped and pillaged Atlantic City,” Reid said, referring to Trump’s bankruptcy filings for his casino holdings in New Jersey. “Who knows what his tax returns would show?”

The Washington Post – “Donald Trump is a bigot and a racist”

The Washington Post – Let’s not mince words: Donald Trump is a bigot and a racist.

Some will think this an outrageous label to apply to the frontrunner for a major party’s presidential nomination. Ordinarily, I would agree that name-calling is part of what’s wrong with our politics.

But there is a greater imperative not to be silent in the face of demagoguery. Trump in this campaign has gone after African Americans, immigrants, Latinos, Asians, women, Muslims and now the disabled. His pattern brings to mind the famous words of Martin Neimoller, the pastor and concentration camp survivor (“First they came for the socialists…”) that Ohio Gov. John Kasich adroitly used in a video last week attacking Trump’s hateful broadsides.

It might be possible to explain away any one of Trump’s outrages as a mistake or a misunderstanding. But at some point you’re not merely saying things that could be construed as bigoted: You are a bigot.

Zika Virus Linked to Rare Immune System Disorder in Adults

Vice News reports that in January, Colombia saw an unusual increase in cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a rare disorder where a person’s immune system attacks the nervous system, in some cases temporarily paralyzing the body and requiring hospitalization.

As in neighboring Brazil and Venezuela, the uptick in Colombia happened at the same time as a local Zika outbreak, leading experts to begin searching for a connection. Researchers have since rushed to find out more, and a new report published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine outlines the most compelling evidence to date linking the mosquito-borne virus to the debilitating disorder.

The study analyzed 68 patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome this year at six Colombian hospitals. Researchers determined the presence of Zika infection in those patients offered enough evidence to support the idea that the virus sparks the onset of the syndrome.

“The fact that we found Zika infection in those patients is good evidence that Zika may contribute to development of the disease,” said Beatriz Parra, one of the study’s authors and a researcher at Universidad del Valle in Colombia. As she explained, the evidence strongly supports a link between Zika and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
