(32,061 posts)Less than half the country supports him. Supposedly, around 40%, although I'm not convinced it's that high. Everything else is 100% correct, however. 40% is still horrifying, though.

(6,024 posts)It tells me more about Trump's supporters, mostly white Americans, than I care to know.
It's the old adage, "The cost of Democracy is eternal vigilance", applied to the abject racism of 40% of the nation.
It's hard to believe that 40% of this nation is morally depraved and spiritually bankrupt. But it appears to be true.
A national disgrace!

The republican party protecting their own like this is what republicans do.

(37,648 posts)If several women had claimed Obama had raped them, would we have been so quick to tell him to resign or not to run again? I wonder. Personally, I wouldn't have believed them, I think, because I am so convinced about his character. Or at least they'd have to convince me of it.
Starting with....testimony under oath. Either verbally or by affidavit. Because if they lie or embellish, they could be charged with a crime.
I'm unaware of any women who have alleged, under oath, that Trump raped them. Maybe some have. But I haven't read that. I just know about the payoffs for the affairs and philandering with nudie dancers or whatever. And the Access Hollywood tape and an allegation by some woman about him touching her like that.
