I hope it will become an avalanche, though I hate to think that so many women have been victimized by this monster.

Cosby was so revered though that few wanted to believe it at first so it took a while to gain traction. Trump is such a skeeze and is so reviled that this avalanche will come much faster.

I feel for the women that endured his disgusting behavior, but I applaud their courage in bringing it out in the open!

quit by now, but Trump's ego is not in the normal range.

I think this guy is completely off the rails. He has a total power obsession, and it feels to me like it's based on an extremely exaggerated high opinion of himself.

He ridicules his GOP primary opponents. He mocks the disabled. He spouts misogynist, ethnic, and racial bigotry. He demonizes anyone in the media who criticizes him. He showers praise on Putin.

These women's revelations are the current headline and properly so. Am wondering if in the next couple weeks here we come to learn that Trump is even more messed up than we have thought he was so far.

Whether we get there or not before the election remains to be seen, but at some point he will be not be able to make a public appearance without the deafening sound of his chickens coming home to roost and it will be so overwhelming that even he will not be able to continue to claim the game is rigged.

All that talk about him being somewhere on the sociopathy scale? A lot of us aren't bullshitting: we really think Trump is crazy. If he weren't rich and famous, if he were a regular guy, his family would have had him treated or abandoned him to the streets years ago.

Resigning would be admitting that he is imperfect, and nothing in his entire public history indas cates he's capable of that.

Perhaps MSNBC will do the same with them if this keeps up and they are told to apologize.

Assuming he did it, say, twice a month, just since his age at the video, that's 20 years: 480 women. Easily.

And no one thinks he didn't do it for at least 20 other years, before: So, he's easily running 1000 women, without even trying.

Staggering.
