What about Trump's crudeness about women?

New Yorker's have raised it to an art form. Women get suggestive catcalls around every construction site, not just Trump's.

Does not make it right. As men without Christ I expect not even they talk like Trump did 11 years ago. I still am voting for him. I hope he has really changed.

I've already sent in my overseas ballot filled out for the Gary Johnson/Bill Weld ticket. Now that I hear what a total creep Donald Trump is, I'm so glad I cast my vote the way that I did.

I feel sad for Republicans that will continue to vote for Donald, even when many of them called for Bill Clinton's impeachment because of his philandering while in the White House. I guess that grabbing women by the genitals is okay when a candidate has been a Republican for a few years.

Because how construction workers behave should be the standard against which US presidential candidates are measured....

Its the ultimate failure of democracy when the lowest qualities are elevated to the highest office.

It's not just that his comments were crude. He was bragging about sexual assault. He denied during the debate that he had actually done any of those things, but even if that turns out to be the case, his comments do tell us how he feels about women. That other people are as bad or worse in that regard means nothing.

I have no problem with Trump becoming a construction worker.

I think constant cocaine use will be the end of his efforts.

The flesh of man that's born of Satan can get very nasty sometimes and they're always hypocrites who love to gossip about another sinner.

Seems there's no way around it when we are choosing a leader.
How can we avoid considering a candidate's character?

For what's it's worth Trump has come this far by actually saying what many are thinking. Both men and women visually and verbally 'undress' each other all the time. I would be more worried (for his election chances) if he said those things about men.

If you're reborn in the Spirit of God, the Spirit will have you stop voting for liars and concentrate on what our Father is revealing to you which is much more important than anything in the world you experience with your created senses during this first age. In the next age, we won't be voting for any heathens who lie to us to get involved in a corrupt government. There will only be ONE authority and that is the voice of the Lord, my Servant David, also known as the Tree of Life.

Can't believe American politics has degenerated to this mudslinging level, rather than a discussion of policy. I blame that on the Trump, and poor public education, that the American public might think in any way that the Trump is a suitable contender for office. Sad. So sad.

Cheers, Strivax.

Trump's candidacy is a statement by voters who are sick and tired of Washington in general and RINO politicians in particular. Who can blame them.

Its democracy failing decency when you elevate the vile and vulgar to the highest office. That is what I meant by the failing of democracy - its fundamental weakness is exposed when you see the election of the repulsive.

I'm more concerned about my city not fixing our driveway (it's sinking at the gutter) than I am about the election: "All politics are local".

You can see that I've made a patch already but the area is still sinking. Vehicles 'nosedive' and scrape when entering or leaving. I notified the city about this a year ago. I'm going to add more patch to it this week. (The photo doesn't show how bad it is.)

This is a failure, on a colossal level, by my city streets department.

If the people want X, and vote for X, believing X to be their best interest, that is not a failure of democracy. But if the people want Y, and vote for X, believing X to be their best interest, when X is clearly going to turn out to be the best interests of the wealthy, and not Y, the best interests of the people, or the rest of the world, they have been conned and democracy subverted.

Cheers, Strivax.

By that measure democracy has been subverted for quite some time now. What's another four years.

If many men are actually thinking that they want to go up and "grab her by the (crude genital reference)" then perhaps concerns about a rape culture aren't overstated at all.

It isn't the language that bothers me at all. I do hear that among many of my friends and coworkers. It's the telling someone else that he is entitled to sexually assault women. I don't hear that from men I know.
