FINALLY! Trump's lewd, misogynistic comments are taking him down, BIG TIME.

So, this is what is took for the media to finally stand up and show even a modicum of DECENCY by calling Trump's disgusting behavior exactly what it is.

Absent form the media discussion is the "how fast will Trump bounce back from this set back" crapola. Gone is the Teflon Don meme. No one can explain away the lewd rantings of this disgusting excuse for a human being.

This is the thing that utterly destroys him. Utterly.

My only regret is that so much of what Trump is and what he stands for is JUST AS BAD as the comments we all heard today for the first time.

Well, I'll take it.

It's not the rick rolling. They have no way to defend him on this. Those that do look insane. anamandujano Oct 2016 #3

isn't it. This is what happens when you rick-roll the press. That was when they started to turn on him. Little by little they all started to stand up to the bully and treat him like a candidate for the highest office. Donnie is nothing without the media propping him up. He holds no special powers. In the past he may have tried to take down a journalist here or there. The thing he can't do? Fight them all at once.

... is that it's not rantings. This is casual, everyday bragging. At least one can hear the rantings as the noise from an insane person. This is just his core personality on display.
