Trump Affair. WSJ. Bingo.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/national-enquirer-shielded-donald-trump-from-playboy-models-affair-allegation-1478309380

Playboy Model Karen McDougal
Appears to be attractive enough to be a plausible date for Trump. (Written with the deepest sense of sarcasm imaginable)

National Enquirer bought the story and did not publish. McDougal could not disclose. That's consistent with what was chattered about for the past few weeks. Everyone knew, nobody could validate story.

during the primary. Now the idiot msm went hog wild over the Ted Cruz affairs story but then ignores many of Trump's scandals. Trump is like the most obvious with his projections onto other people of his own traits -- calling Weiner a pervert, accusing Bill of being a predator, accusing Ted Cruz of having affairs and treating women badly, accusing Hillary of all sorts of nonsense...

Ignore these two juicy stories to continue promoting how close the race is -- don't look away!

Trump is such a pig, and Melania is such an opportunistic golddigger.

This one could have legs. At least will add more stuff to him being an asshole to women. In 2006 (same year as the Billy Bush tape) Melania was pregnant.

Seems like as soon as she was pregnant with Barron, that was the end of his interest in Melania except as his trophy wife and baby mama while she was probably relieved to not have to be bothered with his disgusting attentions

I don't really understand this idea that the wife is "humiliated". A man's affair says nothing about the wife.

I know that it's a common view but I don't really get it.

I have been working hard to make sure he loses.
And I find both stories sickening.

He won't be able to recover before Tuesday.

Apparently over uncertainty and fear he could win. 3% drop over past 9 days but predictions are if he wins 5% more drop could occur, plus Trump policies threaten longer term serious economic fallout

Aren't you glad as a "family values" person who couldn't look his daughter in her eyes if you didn't un-endorse dipshit after the video. Then came back to endorse him just in time for what a true show of repub "Christian family values" he represents. Haven't you learned by now "Never trust a republican"
