2016 U.S. Presidential Race Megathread Mark 2.

Just watching Sunday politics on the BBC and they said more tapes emerged of trump ? And the chairperson of republicans overseas looked very down and this is more than trump it's about the affect this has on the GOP going forward.

Posted it last night in this thread I think, one of the producers of the Apprentice tweeting there is 'much worse' from the first two seasons of that show likely still to come, and a FOX reporter also tweeting that one of Trump's top advisers has let him know this is the 'tip of the iceberg' or somesuch.

Also to be mentioned, Trump has apparently lost $800mn in the last year, which further explains the refusal to show tax returns.

With all of this carry on playing out on the global stage, a lot more could be ruined than Trump's political career by the end of this. Obviously he's never going to be out on the streets or worth less than a whole lot of millions, but he is taking an absolute pounding that might only get worse, is getting very old, and his name and reputation are both now absolute dirt around the entire world.

I am a man and that is not just talk among the lads. Men don't talk that way, pieces of scum do.

I would thank Trump supporters not to insult me like this again.

For all those that think this is what all straight men talk about in private I guarantee you that scum like this are in the minority. If you are in a group like this I would urge you to think about what you are doing and how you have come to consider women. Then start behaving like a normal human being going forward.

I don't speak like that, my point was I think however tasteless it was - he wasn't actually being serious ..


Look I don't think Trump is a good candidate,I think he is a creep, but Hillary Clinton is a dodgy character too - and it's ****ing depressing to think this is the "best" the USA has to offer !!

MSM make a big deal of this Trump thing - fair enough, but don't paint HC as a saint..

Trump supporters seem to be forgetting that bill Clinton isn't running for office. If they could get away from this point people might start believing what they are saying.

That's the problem they don't seem able to solve - for the last year, from day one, the whole campaign has basically been about 'talk sh*t about other people' and nothing else. Even the 'bring the jobs home' rhetoric that has completely disappeared from their platform as it becomes clear it was never something Trump was interested in was built on the back of talking sh*t about other countries.

Now that all this has come out on Trump, and with all he has been saying himself in the last few weeks before it even came out, they're like a scratched CD when it comes to addressing it - they can't. All they can do is repeat and repeat and repeat their attempts to talk sh*t about others. Thing is, nobody is interested in that anymore, the returns have diminished with each and every one of their attacks over the last 12 months, and now the hardcore Trump support looks like a punch-drunk boxer in the 12th round, swinging aimlessly and desperately at shadows that aren't even there (e.g. Bill isn't even running for President, but is all they can try to talk about in response to this). That between the whole lot of them, they can't even stop to recognise this for one brief moment, just shows how far gone they are as a collective.

The real question at this point isn't who is going to win, it is will they even make it to the final bell?

Bill Clinton is used to attack Hillary, as he will be the first whatever if Hillary is president.
Hillary is accused of being an enabler of sexual offenses by attacking the women and hiring private investigators to go dig up dirt on the women who say Bill sexually assaulted them.
If you take this into account and the Clinton family accepting money into their foundation from Saudi Arabia, isn't this just what the Wikileaks release showed?
A public policy and a private policy. The public policy is pro women, the private policy is 'it is all about me, my family, wealth and power'.

I find both the main candidates are in it for themselves, for the power, for the extra wealth the presidency brings.

When it comes to things sexual, both are guilty.

Except one is currently looking at going to court for raping children themselves. No matter how you try to defend him they are nowhere near as bad as each other. Raping children is far far worse.

Trump has his twitter back. Fighting back, calling likes of McCain and other traitors .

And just like that, he ceded any chance he had of getting Arizona's 11 electoral college votes.
