This Trump sex scandal so reminds of the previous sex scandals

One or two come out, then a couple more, then a steady stream, then a flood.

The ones that come to mind are the priest scandals that the Boston Globe broke and the Cosby scandal recently.

One of the Trump defenses for Trump is that victims didn't come forward earlier - well it ain't easy to come out against a powerful person or institution especially as a youngster. Women of course were never believed. Even today they aren't.

It is scary that this man may still yet become president - he should never have gotten this far.

I am not really enjoying this widening scandal - I am frankly sickened. I was one of those molested by a priest, so it brings back memories. But I am so hopeful this MF will get justice.
