During a panel discussion on CBS’s Face the Nation, former FTN host Bob Schieffer, who has served as a presidential debate moderator before, was asked what questions he’d pose to the two presidential candidates tonight.

“I guess what I would say would be this,” Schieffer told host John Dickerson. “‘Mr. Trump, if some man did to your daughters what you were talking about in that debate, in that tape, would you think that was cool? Would you be OK with that?'”

After fellow panelists Major Garrett and Norah O’Donnell said they’d be interested in hearing that answer and wondered if that question will even be posed in the town hall forum, Schieffer then delivered the following blow.

“Yes. Because this language goes beyond boys being boys,” Schieffer plainly leveled. “This is pigs being pigs. And I think that it is not a distraction. It is an issue.”

3. It's not really the language.

It's the mind-set. That he feels like he's entitled to grope women whether they like it or not. And I have no doubt that he has done so.

5. Yes. It's the admission of felony sexual assault & battery. It's not "lewd"; it's criminal. . . . nt

6. Been trying to make this point in posts all day

I do not care about his "language" in this case. HE ADMITTED AND BRAGGED ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT.

8. Why does everyone insult pigs?

Pigs are sweet animals. They're smart and loving. A pig would never be so hateful or self-centered as Donald Trump. Such comparisons are incredibly unfair to pigs, who never did anything to hurt anyone.
