Half of Americans voted in 2016, Russian chaos partly to blame. These sex scandals are more of the same...please see them with a clear head....

Will LESS vote in 2018..."oh, they are all perverts, why should I vote?"

The media has been enabling Trump for over 2 years now....we at DU are supposed be more thoughtful and see the big picture, not fall for the Trump media squirrels. And the divisions. We want to WIN elections, not get distracted by the sex sex sex 24/7.

1. We are winning elections.

2. Your premise then is that the allegations of sexual assault are simply a ruse?

If I'm easily distracted by more than one story at a time, smart money says it's because I'm a half-wit with an undisciplined mind, rather than the clear-mind skeptic I pretend to be, alleging ruses and schemes without any evidence to support it via the mechanism of trivializing and minimizing legitimate concerns as mere subterfuge.

4. Thank you. Well said.

We can hold two thoughts at the same time and tell the difference between legit issues and BS.

3. If the sex scandals are a Russian ruse, Putin vastly underestimated the American female.

Who are now empowered to stop harassment.

And I do think that many Americans can hold two thoughts at the same time.

5. Assault, harassment, rape, etc are not "sex scandals"

A "sex scandal" is, say, Trump meeting Sarah Palin in hotels and carrying on an affair. It hits the news - bam! scandal!!

I just don't get why people are equating unwanted violations of boundaries with consensual sexual activity
