The people who will or may vote for Trump give no shits about off color jokes he made 20 years ago. His whole platform is based on Anti-PC, telling it like it is. This will probably get even MORE of his potential base voting for him, cause these social media outrage campaigns are exactly what they're voting against.

who cares about his base? this is about getting hispanics & women energized to vote

Illuminating story, I sympathize with her a lot. She speaks pretty English pretty well though, I think in a commercial where she appears as a voting citizen, it would be even more effective if she had spoken English.
 
that's the worst video i have seen of trump so far.

disgusting behaviour, i can't believe this trash sociopath of a human being is running for president of USA.

But we need more people to talk about how Hillary Clinton isn't reaching out to every single American. It's like she isn't even trying to get 100% of the vote in November.

Just think, election day rolls around and Hillary wins with a mere majority of the popular vote and electoral college. What will people say when she doesn't end up with the 100% of the popular vote that all Presidents before her received. It would be madness!

She'd better soften her stances on misogyny and bigotry if she hopes to win the hearts and minds of total fucking shitheels.
 
If you watch the triumph videos where he meets women trump supporters they literally say the same bullshit men whisper of "a woman president would have her period and just release a nuclear strike". But they say it loud and proud.

One of my very good friends said something similar to that, and I just looked at him with a "WTF" look on my face. Did not want to engage in a debate.

He called into Fox this morning and was again critical of her weight. If this becomes a big issue, he'll just claim he never said that.

Wow he dug his heels in post-this.

NPR wrote about it here. He's thin skinned and will double/triple/quadruple down no matter if he's wrong.

At the end of Monday night's presidential debate, Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of taunting one of his former Miss Universe contestants about her weight.

Clinton said the Republican nominee's criticisms of Alicia Machado, a Venezuelan who won the Miss Universe contest in 1996, was "one of the worst things he said" about women. "He called this woman Miss Piggy. Then he called her Miss Housekeeping because she was Latina."

While Trump appeared to dispute Clinton's accusation on the debate stage, he called into Fox and Friends Tuesday morning and once again called Machado fat.

"I know that person. That person was a Miss Universe person," Trump told the Fox News morning show. "And she was the worst we ever had, the worst, the absolute worst, she was impossible," he said. "She gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem. We had a real problem. Not only that, her attitude."

What a disaster. This isn't a new thought but he's a disgusting human being, let alone even considering him as a presidential candidate.

His response couldn't have been worse:

"Where did you find this!? Where did you find this!?"
Made him look like he was panicking over being caught. Which he was, but normally he just denies everything flatly. It was obvious he had no idea this was coming while he had expected talk of his taxes and birtherism, he got blindsided.

That was one of the biggest moments for me, his response to being caught off-guard about this. It's telling, and makes him look sleazy as fuck. AND NOW HE'S DOUBLING DOWN.

Sure, but normally he just denies everything. He did it nonstop in the debate, denying his support of the Iraq War, denying his global warming hoax claims, etc.

His response was more a panic here, it was markedly different from his "Wrong, that's wrong!" shtick.

It's funny. He literally gave a sound bite they could have edited into the commercial during the debate and then did it again during the Fox and Friends interview. This is the easiest route to dismantling Trump, since pointing out the fascism isn't enough.

He short circuits during any birther discussion now that his campaign forced him to admit he was wrong. That's the question that shattered his discipline last night and it was a complete meltdown from there.

Trump's sexism is so innate. It's literally a walking closet of skeletons waiting to be opened. There's always something new and it is always incredibly shocking. And the fact that he clearly does not care about it whatsoever... yikes.
