Good morning from Detroit, it’s 4:28 a.m. and my body clock has been turning somersaults as of late. So, I am up rather early. Hopefully, I get this straightened out.
Memeorandum, which is a pretty cool site and a good tool for bloggers; is reporting this morning that a bunch of woman are reporting that Donald Trump did some pretty bad stuff to them.
This, my friends, is problematic. There is a third rail in politics and that is sexual abuse, of any sort. Both parties are that way, and if you hit that rail, you will end up without a political career. This is nothing new, it has been this way for many, many decades.
Even Pat Buchanan, who is a very sane voice in the conservative movement and one of Trump’s biggest supporters; is beginning to concede that Trump’s path to the White House might be drying up, speaking on this very subject, he says:
Trump exposed the fraudulence of the Clintons’ clucking concern for sexually abused women, brought Pence back into camp, turned the tables and changed the subject from the Trump tapes to the Trump triumph at Washington University.
Upshot: The Donald is alive.
While his path to 270 electoral votes still looks more than problematic, there is a month to go before the election, and anything can happen.
Indeed, it already has — many times.
Indeed, it is a month out, and anything can happen; it is not looking good from the realist standpoint. That being said, I am still voting for him; because I cannot, in good conscience, vote for that dreadful woman. I would be going against everything I know to be right, to do so.
