Sarah Wiseman, Elkhart, Ind.: How much of it am I willing to put up with? Wiseman said. I think its going to have a huge impact on his next election if he doesnt tone it down just a little bit.
Beth Eads, Spring Hill, Tenn.: I will not put myself in a situation where someone can question my integrity. Donald Trump has not done that, Eads said on Saturday morning, sitting in her kitchen as the dishwasher ran and her teenage daughters worked on homework. He has never put boundaries around himself. He has been around women by himself, touched women and so when things are being questioned, people cant say, No, he would never do that. There is always a question.
Taylor Richards, Athens, Ohio: She added that people have become accustomed to their presidents having shortcomings and that if former president Barack Obama faced similar accusations, it would not be a big deal. Richards said Danielss accusations are yet one more reason for Democrats who already hate the president to hate him more.
Delores Chavez Harmes, Valley Center, Calif.: She said that Trump has proved himself as a great role model on the world stage by being firm, articulate and strategic. But she would like to see him send fewer tweets and use more care in picking his words.

(4,394 posts)is a perfect example of a women who would be a Democrat is she wasn't brainwashed by the church:
"She worries that scandals involving the president have diverted attention from much more important issues, especially lowering the cost of medical care and creating a legal pathway to citizenship for immigrants who are in the country illegally, ending the deportations that are ripping families apart."

(24,406 posts)but electing Trump created these "scandals" and gave them a spotlight, not to mention making all of the aforementioned problems worse.

(4,394 posts)They care about Democratic issues, they just don't realise that they are Democratic issues. It just needs to be hammered home to them that Trump lied to them and that he isn't delivering what he promised.

(22,791 posts)If "firm" means changing your positions by the hour.
If articulate means making no sense at all.
Look, having nuclear my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart you know, if youre a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say Im one of the smartest people anywhere in the world its true! but when youre a conservative Republican they try oh, do they do a number thats why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because were a little disadvantaged but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me it would have been so easy, and its not as important as these lives are nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of whats going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? but when you look at whats going on with the four prisoners now it used to be three, now its four but when it was three and even now, I would have said its all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they dont, they havent figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, its gonna take them about another 150 years but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.
If "Strategic" means talking crazy and making stuff up as he goes along.

(4,394 posts)so they probably couldn't find any.
To be fair, one of the six is African American and another one is Hispanic so they obviously made the effort.
