Trump's Lewd Audio Might Have Reset the Race to His Benefit https://t.co/C5KEDgryg5
...With nothing more than the words "binders full of woman," our corrupt media did to Mitt Romney exactly what they are now doing to Trump. This is why you cannot vote for virtue; because virtue doesn't matter. No matter who the Republican is, even someone as squeaky clean as Romney, by the time the media is done with them, he will be seen as Mr. Rapey Klansman.
In the end, I supported Trump for his mercenary skill-set; because he was willing to get as ugly as necessary to win. Like Team Obama (who accused Romney of killing a woman), time and again Trump proved he would do what it takes.
This was not true of Romney or McCain, and it would not have been true of Cruz, Rubio or Jeb, had any one of them won the nomination. Thanks to Hillary's media, each would be seen today as Mr. Rapey Klansman. This is unavoidable and not to belabor the point, this is why we need to vote for a skill-set over virtue.
Americans believe in second chances.
Trump's got 30 days and two debates to make his case for one; to make his case that the choice voters face is between a contrite frat boy-pig who will bring real change or Hillary, the rape-enabling/denier who personally destroys her husband's assault victims and represents four more years of a failed presidency.
Stranger things have happened.

In a statement to The Washington Post, the billionaire hedge fund executive and his middle daughter, who finance and run a super PAC supporting Trump, dismissed the remarks caught on tape as “locker room braggadocio.”
And they charged that former president Bill Clinton committed “multiple violent sexual assaults” while the media looked away.
“America is finally fed up and disgusted with its political elite,” they stated. “Trump is channeling this disgust and those among the political elite who quake before the boombox of media blather do not appreciate the apocalyptic choice that America faces.”
Their complete statement is below:
“If Mr. Trump had told Billy Bush, whoever that is, earlier this year that he was for open borders, open trade, and executive actions in pursuit of gun control, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. If he had admitted to Mr. Bush that he had profited privately by allowing the sale to Russia of 20% of US uranium deposits or that he had amassed his personal fortune not by hard work in the private sector but by selling favors to foreigners on the American taxpayers’ dime, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. If he had argued that he needed both a public and a private position on issues facing the American public, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. And finally if Trump had serially terrorized and silenced the victims of violent sexual assault whom he feared could damage his political career, we would most definitely be rethinking our support for him.
“Donald Trump’s uncensored comments, both old and new, have been echoed and dissected in the media repeatedly in an effort to kindle among his supporters a conflagration of outrage commensurate with the media’s own faux outrage. Can anyone really be surprised that Mr. Trump could have said to Mr. Bush such things as he has already admitted saying? No. We are completely indifferent to Mr. Trump’s locker room braggadocio.
“The same media that resolutely looked away when the most powerful man in the world, a sitting U.S. president with multiple violent sexual assaults to his credit, snared an impressionable young intern in his web and ruined her life, now expects us to gasp with revulsion at Mr. Trump’s irreverent comments. America is finally fed up and disgusted with its political elite. Trump is channeling this disgust and those among the political elite who quake before the boombox of media blather do not appreciate the apocalyptic choice that America faces on November 8th. We have a country to save and there is only one person who can save it. We, and Americans across the country and around the world, stand steadfastly behind Donald J. Trump.”
Lotta #takes today but this is a must read.
