There's been over two dozen accusations against Trump of everythingfrom harassment to outright rape. Taken together, the stories paint a picture of a man constantly assessing how far he can take the coercion without facing potential legal repercussions. In the story found to be true by a New York civil jury, E. Jean Carroll described how Trump got her alone in a department store dressing room before, as the judge recounted, "Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape.'"

Well, when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

I still can’t fathom how that didn’t just immediately tank his candidacy for the even remotely religious-right - what absolute rank and disgusting hypocrisy.

Because they believe abortion is murder. Nothing will ever be worse than "killing babies" in their eyes.
