America, You Have No Right to Judge Donald Trump
2016-10-09
[PJ] The wizards of smarts in the political arena are telling us Donald Trump's campaign is over because of recently leaked tapes of a private conversation from 2005 that was disparaging to women. The comments are so offensive, they say, he's not fit for office.
At least no one died.
From the moment the tapes were made public, the drumbeat to Trump's personal walk of shame began. Politicians who formerly endorsed him fled in terror, not wanting the soiled stain of sexual stigma attached to them. NeverTrumpers descended in holier-than-thou glee as they declared how noble and right they've always been not to support such a despicable man. And the left has been howling like puritanical wolves, condemning him for his immorality and sexist treatment of women.

I find this reaction to Trump's private conversation rather ironic. It's ironic coming from a secular culture that long ago declared objective morality dead. It's ironic coming from politicos and media bottom-feeders who defended the abusive and disgusting behavior of Bill Clinton, not when he was a private citizen but when he was a sitting president.

#14  Apparently talking bluntly about the habits of "star-f*ckers" disqualifies you for the presidency, but a lifetime of protecting multiple rapists doesn't.

#13  Anybody, and I do mean anybody, who claims they're going to vote for Hillary Clinton because Trump isn't moral enough to hold the office should be bitch-slapped. I don't care if they're somebody's grandmother, a scout-troop leader, or a first responder. Any person on this planet that dares to even broach the issue of "morality" while brushing past Hillary Clinton is a stone-cold, brain-dead, moron.

#12  Let's take the 30,000 ft level view from Wretchard T. Cat on FB:

If the moral price of political victory is supporting a Ted Kennedy or Bill Clinton then winning is losing in terms of governance. But some make that choice reasoning that's how things go. You accept certain side effects as the cost of doing business and hope they don't kill you.

The problem is one day you can't stomach it. 2016 may mark the moment whem everything the DC diner serves is finally too disgusting to eat.

You'd like to walk away but where do you go? For some, it's "such terrible food and such small portions too."

#11  So, 'it's just sex' when it's done by a Democrat - got it!

#10  News flash, guys talk this way.

Exactly. And even if we don't we're sure as hell thinking that way. We were hard wired that way from birth. Would you like it better if Trump did not find women attractive in the least? Sorry ladies, most of us try to behave like gentlemen when you are present but in our heads we are all rutting pigs. Even Paul Ryan. Even the milquetoast Jeb Bush. And most especially Bill Clinton.

#9  Let us judge Donald similar to Ted Kennedy and bill Clinton and elect him to office.

#8  We do, actually, have not only the right but the obligation to judge him.

But we do not need to judge him against the standards offered by the Democrats or MSM.

#6   It's mostly the MSM, and the Donks...and the RINOs.

After affairs d'Bill, talk vs actions, your morality has no meaning if you even deal with Hillary when you express your faux outrage/disgust concerning Trump's utterance. PC light is still PC.

#5  That's why, IMO, you Americans need Trump and not a bunch of castrati who turn to jelly when a leftard starts screaming "racist" or "sexist".

Yep, g(r)omgoru, you are right. I think many Americans have their eye on the ball from what I can tell. It's mostly the MSM, and the Donks who are calling for Trump's scalp with faux indignation. They are a bunch of phony hypocrites shilling the Dem Party and Hillary. A case where the stone throwers are worse than the sinners.

#3  Ah, to be Twenty three again and in me Prime.

It must be the Spring time in the air.

Plus the girls ( I could be wrong, but I'm not ) seemed to like it.
Ever been to a Frat Party ( Kappa Alpha, ourselves and our favorite Phi Mu girls ? Lots of girls, and they weren't forced to attend. And most had enough IQ or they wouldn't Be College girls.

OR the nearest College to the Marine Corps Base at Quantico ? Mary Washington College ( yes, I think so. Fine Southern girls ) and a moonlight tour of the Fredericksburg battlefield and dancing at Dinner at the local Inn. Then a short drive back to the Barracks at OCS at Camp Barrett?
Healthy PT on the following morning and a two mile run before breakfast. Lots of sweat and hormones. And Girls have them too. Or have you forgotten?

#2  Politicians who formerly endorsed him fled in terror, not wanting the soiled stain of sexual stigma attached to them

Could it be that the threat of having their own infidelities and indiscretions examined has suddenly become real? Is their exodus an antidote? Roger Ailes, General Petraeus... comments ?

Having someone refer to a region of the female anatomy with a term sometimes used to describe a feline.... how vulgar and crass. Who could ever do such a thing?

Excuse me. I must leave the room. The 'castrati,' which way did they go ?
