Trump said "Only thing going for Hillary is her breasts".

Seen on Facebook:

Trump is holding a rally in FL right now. When i tuned in, I hear him say "At the debate the other night, Hillary had nothing. The only thing she has going for her is her breasts. Without her breasts, she is zero". OMG, what is wrong with this guy? If I were Bill Clinton, Secret Service or no Secret Service, the next time he sees Trump he should punch him right in the nose, in my humble opinion.


Turns out what he actually said was "Press" not "breasts". But think about this for a moment. At least for a moment, you believed it. And then you started scrambling for Google to see if you could confirm he really said it. This is what we have sunk to in this campaign.
...........
On edit: Seems to be some misunderstanding of what I was saying. Suppose you read this on Facebook 4 years ago. Replace Trump's name with either Obama or Romney. Would you have for a moment believed the quote? I doubt it. But we have heard so much terrible spewed by Trump, that we almost believed the quote.

And the 'we' in my final sentence is the we as in 'this election we as a nation have gotten to point we would believe that a candidate for the office of President might just say it'.

it's what we have come to expect - lamentably - from the Publican candidate for President.

It's not funny though that something so outrageous is within the realm of possibility from the mouth of the cretinous Trumpster
