    That's pure conjecture. He said he'd be dating her when she's 20 i.e. when she's a grown woman, nothing dirty or sinister about that, unless you think people should only date others the same as themselves. Didn't mention anything about her looks, unless you have another video none of us have seen. Girl could have been overweight and he would still have made the same comment.

    Surely that last sentence of your's is conjecture? His comment to her about dating her was made while looking at her during her pre-teenage years, which isn't a matter of conjecture. While he possibly might imagine, in his mind, that he was offering the girl a form of compliment when he passed the comment, it's possible that she might have thought "eugh, you dirty old man" in her mind.

    Conjecture is allowed if it is pro Trump. Though I am sure Trump was simply attracted to the little girl's personality. People will go to any lengths to defend this sicko.

    Has Trump made "supporting women" a tenet of his campaign? As far as i can see only one candidate is milking the gender card in this election. The same candidate who accepts huge amounts of money from the same regimes you speak of. [attacking the poster].

    Are we moving the goalposts again?

    The point being made is Trump has no authority to bunk Clinton for anything to do with ties to the Saudi's or supporting women, when he himself has shot himself in the foot with his support of women, so much so that his twitter followers want to repeal the 19th amendment (when do they plan on doing this?) in order to give him a shot at winning, after an analysis showed that he would win the election if women could not vote. That is how poorly he is doing with women. Thus, if he wants to win this election, and you're saying that supporting women is not a feature of his campaign, he may as well go home.

    You think you have latched onto something and it really is a waste of time on your part. I responded to your comments a number of posts ago and you have since stuck your fingers in your ears and refused to listen.
    Not at all - just pointing out that what you were pontificating about has already happened, despite all your efforts to shift the goalposts.
    "We came, we saw, he died" was said by one person in this election race. Gloating over one of the biggest foreign policy fk-ups ever shows just how incompetent your beloved is.
    That's doesn't have a single thing to do with the following statement though, does it?

    A bit of light relief Paul Ryan is giving a speech now and he actually said about poverty relief that "we (GOP)don't doesn't measure our success in getting people out of poverty on "results" but on what we do" WTF :) yeah like no one measures success on results.

    The GOP are a joke party....

    Let's remind ourselves, what's the party of the guy who said, "Feelings are just as valid as facts"?

    I'll give you guys a clue - it's the same party which endorses conversion therapy and teaching the Bible as fact in public schools.

    The only thing that can possibly be pro-trump is conjecture.

    He has no record st anything in politics bar picking fights m.

    There's a certain amount of mask-slipping going on with all this talk of alpha males. Which is all the more amusing, considering the man who coined the term (in the context of wolf packs) has utterly repudiated it.

    Just out of curiosity, I looked up the usage of the term and found out about L. David Mech's work and his repudiation of the term, which anyone reading this thread can watch below:

    The last two nights I've listened to Donald trump seems to have turned to it's all a set up and the whole election is rigged. To me that sounds like he's getting the excuse ready before the election.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,176 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    Trump has just encouraged his fans to find his accuser's Facebook page.

    Stay classy, "alpha male". :rolleyes: There's no way this could end in a torrent of abuse. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,900 ✭✭✭InTheTrees


    There's a press conference going on right now with one of trumps accusers. She's recounting the story of trumps attempt to assault her.

    Its worth noting that she's being represented by Gloria Allred. A feared lawyer. She's represented women in many high profile assault cases. The boll Cosby accusers for instance . she doesn't take frivolous cases.

    This must be the final nail in the coffin for trumps presidential campaign.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,828 ✭✭✭gosplan


    I think it's important that he gets completely hammered at this stage though.

    He shouldn't have a future in mainstream politics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,551 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I mean as it looks likely that trump will lose. Where does the GOP go from here ? I mean I know some of them have disendorsed him recently but will voters forget that they rode the losing horse nearly to the finish line ?

    Ana Avarro went on the Daily Show to nuke Trump

    She's a GOP strategist that stole my heart last week when she ripped the head off a Trump surrogate on live television.

    Yeah, loved her both on that CNN segment and on the Daily Show. A Republican I can really warm to!

    The first link isn't available in my area apparently. That Scottie Hughes should get an award for staying on message.

    Anythings possible obviously but the polls suggest it's highly unlikely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,367 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    Probably the quote of the year nearly ending from Don: persons working for the New York Times are not journalists, they're lobbyists for Carlos Slim and Hillary Clinton. On RTE TV news a clip of the latest from him popped up with that. Ah, he's blaming the Mexicans again, a major stockholder of the NY Times is a Mexican Billionaire and is responsible for what's happening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,279 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Seems every girl he hit on in a clubs back in the day are coming out of woodwork to label it sexual assault.
    His interactions with women in the past are being magnified to greater things . A women in a club was hit on, geez I'm in shock.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal



    She's up in Ohio, Virginia, Florida, and North Carolina

    It's possible, but so are aliens.

    Polls suggest that it's possible. Needs to win those toss up states and Florida is a must and it's very tight there. I see no path if Florida is lost .
    Trump can't afford to lose those states that historically vote republican , but he is close to losing some, that's how much damage has been done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    It's hard to see him winning North Carolina, given everything going on in the state this year. I think it will be blue. Virginia is a toss up and so is Ohio.

    As for Florida it really depends. Floridians have not forgotten 2000, and Trump makes George W Bush look like Ronald Reagan. And that vote came down to a few hundred votes in a country whose ballots had misleading hanging chads which has already been the subject of a decade of begrudgery so let's not get into the details. Sufficient however to say that my hunch would be that the state goes blue from a strong showing of liberal demographics; Republican Governor Rick Scott has not been a great mascot for the GOP recently and that will go a long way to not helping.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,279 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Yea Virginia is a mistake. Trump won't win there.

    This is more likely , but still tough .

    Do you consider grabbing a woman by the pussy to be 'hitting on them'?

    If I grab you buy your boy pussy tonight am I hitting on you?

    If not why do you defend Donald Trump boasting about molesting women?

    Well, about that, it appears the Trump camp is withdrawing resources from Virgina.
