What's sad is that I'd already seen or heard everything mentioned about Trump from other sources! I actually learned more about Hillary!

Well, I didn't know that Trump was voted the "Ladies' Man" by his military school.




His former classmates said Trump was extremely proud of that.

They also said that they all "learned" about women by reading Playboy, but they had grown up over the years. Trump, meanwhile, seems to have kept the same sexist attitudes from those days. (Paraphrasing)

I'm not sure what he learned there other than women are sex objects.

His classmates said Trump also enjoyed the bullying aspects of the school. Surprise, surprise!

I always wondered why his sister and brother have not been around since he started the campaign. They are probably not close. Plus his sister is a judge and probably does not want to be linked to him.

Fred Jr. didn't seem to "buy into" the father's cutthroat ideas about humanity, whereas Donald soaked it up like a sponge.

His sister has indeed been very inconspicuous, though.

on Ivana deposing under oath that he RAPED her, right?

nothing about Jill Harth, right?

anything about his bragging in The Art of the Deal about how many of his friends' wives he porked?

didn't think so

me is get more crazed than I already am, waiting, as a recent OP has stated, for the media to rehabilitate this ahole as soon as the second 'debate' begins

how come nobody is talking about the ludicrous manner in which the questions are going to be allotted?
