Madeline Minnesota 14 hours ago
"I'm an 18 year old college freshman, and in February I attend the Republican debate at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire with my AP Government and Politics class. I went up to the stage during a commercial break and shook hands with several candidates. When I put my hand out to Trump, in a fashion that very clearly intended a handshake, he reached past my hand and touched my cheek, saying, "So beautiful." It was disturbing and inappropriate, especially since I was obviously a student (I was surrounded by a group of my peers and do not look particularly old for my age). I was in shock and I didn't say anything, but I regret not standing up to him for that small but unacceptable act".

This is the Trump defense. It sounds remarkably like the Sandusky defense.

11 and 30 year old incidents are one thing.

Last Sunday is entirely different if that it shows that he clearly continues to engage in unwelcome touching.
