I have no inside information and I haven't spent serious time researching it.

I don't want to fight you about this.

Because, facts are facts, he will have to to even come close to HRCs numbers. I don't think it is possible to double his numbers in that time frame. I don't think anyone could do it...party aside, that would be impossible.

Isn't the victim the reason it was cancelled? As long as this has been going on, they knew his supporters would be hateful. This isn't surprising today. Calling it and then canceling only makes it look like, someone was making it up to hurt him.

Before you set the presser make sure, she's 100% sure

That's what I would tell her.

I'm sorry, very sorry. And I can empathize with how this must feel. And yes, I have been violated. I would hope someone would be providing good advice about the pros and cons of coming forward...or changing one's mind and backing off, once a major press conference is called in a tightening US presidential election where the most powerful person in the world could possibly be a serial sexual molester, racist, thug.
