In reply to the discussion: MSN: We need to talk about the child rape lawsuit filed against Donald Trump. [View all]JustAnotherGen

There are so many other things to comment on with Trump - but . . .
This has some serious force behind it.
Meet Chandler Smith - the mom of 3 from Ohio who kind of formed the 'Vote Trump Get Dumped' thing.
Here she says she, "never considered herself much of a political activist"

She might not be, but her father is Steven Baer.

Vote Trump Get Dumped was founded by an Ohio woman named Chandler Smith and her husband Blake. Baer is Chandler Smiths father. He was once described by the National Review as a conservative mega-donor and the worlds most successful email harasser, known for sending combative and colorful e-mail missives...to a whos-who list of power brokers in the conservative world.
I called Baer. In an hour-long phone call, he told me that he was not in direct contact with Katie Johnson. That said, he added, Ive seen her on video and spoken to her on the phone. Although of course we can always be fooled.
Baer then launched into a passionate diatribe against Donald Trump, whom he saw as the destruction of everything the Party of Lincoln holds dear. He said he and his wife became Never Trumpers after the South Carolina primaries. The way it happened for us is we decided we were opposed to Trump, he said. We see him as a very dangerous person for the Republic. We see him as a Mussolini or Hitler type. And we discovered in South Carolina that hes also a terrible misogynist.
Baer told me he learned of the rape allegations from none other than Al Taylor, who he said showed him an explosive video of Johnson outlining her claims.

Check out Steven Baer's 'email list'. He's brutal to elected Republican officials. Just BRUTAL. He believe he is King Shit in the Republican/Conservative movement and has even had a cease and desist from Paul Ryan!
I think with this a few days away - the shit is going to get real for Trump. This shit is getting real!

Emails are more important than violent, pedophilia rape. Don't you realize that?
