It is when the Republicans started to "welcome" these wingnuts, evangelicals, tea baggers, etc. that they set the stage for this. <br /><br />part of the problem, in my opinion, is the U.S.A. has only 2 dominate parties, which is not enough for a country of their size. Both parties are placed in the position of having to accommodate people they aren't really in tune with. The U.S.A.'s political landscape would be much better if they had 3 or 4 major parties. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-57986738980670346652016-10-16T17:02:25.224-04:002016-10-16T17:02:25.224-04:00Even Trump's hair is unfit to be president!

And you're right, there seems to be nothing that can lose him the support of his rabid or abysmally ignorant supporters. But luckily Trump can't win with their support alone, so hopefully this horror story will have a happy end...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-49932745616196236302016-10-16T11:00:36.477-04:002016-10-16T11:00:36.477-04:00hi anon...no I'm sorry, you may disagree with ...hi anon...no I'm sorry, you may disagree with what I'm saying.

Half his supporters now believe the election will be rigged, and if or when they lose there is no telling what they might do. Trump is already urging them to "guard" the polls, which could lead to massive voter intimidation, and it is indeed just one more reason why he is unfit to be president...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-89405513677984176862016-10-15T16:43:48.503-04:002016-10-15T16:43:48.503-04:00http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/

Harry, excuse me. Harry, I know. In 1993. <br /><br />HARRY HURT III, AUTHOR, "LOST TYCOON: THE MANY LIVES OF DONALD J. TRUMP": Correct. <br /><br />LEMON: Is this the same? Is this man different from the man that you wrote about then? <br /><br />HURT: No, it's absolutely the same. And here's the thing that people have ignored. In 1989, during their divorce proceedings, Donald Trump, according to the sworn testimony of his ex-wife Ivana, came into the bedroom in Trump Tower and raped her. <br /><br />[23:20:09] LEMON: And then she retracted that. <br /><br />HURT: No, she did not retract it. <br /><br />LEMON: She said she didn't want it in a public record? <br /><br />HURT: No, no, no. No, she did not retract it. And in fact, this is the misconception that everyone said, which is why I brought my book here. I will tell you exactly what she did say. She said, and I quote -- statement of Ivana Trump sent in to my publisher in 1993, "During a deposition given by me in connection with my matrimonial case, I've stated that my husband had raped me. I wish to say that on one occasion during 1989, Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently towards me than he had during our marriage. As a woman I felt violated." <br /><br />OK. That's not a denial. I'm sorry. What's she's saying here is there was nonconsensual sex. There's also a context of this. What prompted this was Donald had had an operation called scalp reduction to cover a bald spot on the back of his head at the hands of her plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Hofling. He came in and started grabbing her hair on the corresponding spot where he had that operation and then this rape occurred. <br /><br />OK? Rape is not an act of sex, it's an act of anger. This guy was enraged. She ran down to the bedroom normally occupied by her mother, closed the door, cried all night. And when she came out in the morning, he said, did it hurt? This is according to her sworn testimony in a deposition. This is not a denial, Don. <br /><br />LEMON: OK. Yes. And we're going to -- producers are probably going to go a little bit longer because of this. I think it's an interesting conversation. How do you respond to that, Betsy? <br /><br />MCCAUGHEY: That must be some book. Hold up the cover.

If Trump's daughter Ivanka said in an interview that she has had consensual sex with her father since she was 16, and continues to do so, people would still vote for him.

The nastiness of Trump's supporters in the face of his meltdown is a more important story, in some ways, than Trump himself. And his reaction to his troubles is scarier than he troubles themselves. I have noticed, though, that a number of American commentators (including in the New Yorker, the NYT, and the Washington Post) have picked up on this and are writing about Trump's reactions as more illustrative that he is unfit for office than his previous misdeeds.
