‘He’s a dirty old man’: CNN panel reacts with disgust to Trump’s ‘hot mic’ comments about women


The news broke Friday that Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic in 2005 talking about women in the most vulgar of terms. Pundit and columnist Bill Kristol might be a conservative Republican but he was quite simply disgusted by the comments.

On Jake Tapper’s afternoon show the host was shocked, to say the least.

USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers couldn’t believe that someone who could become the president of the United States after saying something like this.

“It’s this very adolescent way to talk about women,” Powers said. “A very vulgar way. For somebody who was just recently attacking Alicia Machado being on a sex tape that she wasn’t. And then, of course, he has a lot of evangelical voters and women voters, a lot of them alarmed by this, I don’t think it helps.” - RawStory

50 state strategy for HRC. Donald is toast!

5. Forget about his base. His base can't elect him. He needs to bring in undecided moderates to win

I can tell you that his base is getting angrier and more frustrated. Some of the things that I have seen posted on Facebook is just horrible. They will back him up no matter what.

It is beyond disgusting on so many levels.

I'm going to love to see the evangelicals try and spin this around to validate voting for him.
