This is not just a message to your daughters.

What does this tell your sons?

Republicans, withdrawing their endorsements of Donald Trump today, are citing their daughters and granddaughters. You have to wonder why they neglect to mention their young sons and grandsons who are being exposed to the most primitive, offensive, dangerous example of male behavior ever to be seen on the presidential electoral circuit.

They abuse women and boys as well. No soul left unharmed.

Destroy them.

They are just babies. Leave them alone.

One month from tonight, we'll all be watching the election returns and, hopefully, celebrating!

BUT DON'T GET COMPLACENT, EVERYBODY!!! We DON'T have this won yet!

AND we still have to work on turning the Senate back to blue, too! If not both chambers, at least let's get the Senate back. At least we'll rehabilitate the Supreme Court that way.

Have you never heard of mean girls? All our children need to be taught a deep sense of shame at hurting ANYONE. All kids need to be taught respect for others, respect for boundaries, and self discipline over refraining from lewd and vulgar language and name calling.

This is about Trump.

Hillary will step onto the town hall stage tomorrow night beside the least qualified human being to run under the banner of a major party perhaps ever. Republicans, withdrawing their endorsements of Donald Trump today, are citing their daughters and granddaughters. You have to wonder why they neglect to mention their young sons and grandsons who are being exposed to the most primitive, offensive, dangerous example of male behavior ever to be seen on the presidential electoral circuit.

It is a challenge for parents whose little girls and boys are feeling inspired and empowered by Hillary and want to follow the campaign. They have to worry about setting parental controls when her opponent appears since we never know what might come out of his mouth.


Your post has nothing to do with my OP.

The Frontline show, "The Choice" told how he was shipped off to military school at the age of 14 because he was a troublemaker. And there he and his buddies learned all about women by reading "Playboy" magazine. And that is exactly what he believes about women: they must look like those models to be interesting, and they are only good for one thing. And men are their natural predators and it's all good and natural!

For me? Vote Dem.

Do not let this man anywhere near the WH.

Teach your children well. Respect boundaries. You never touch a person inappropriately. You do not walk into their space to grope them. You do NOT walk on to the national stage at the NRC and grope your daughter and pat her on the ass.

Boundaries and respect. This needs to be taught from the cradle in some homes it is just understood with a loving and respectful family. I am so glad I have one of those.

not only found nothing wrong with it, but thought it was awesome, speaks to the misogyny that is at the core of the RW! Every vile characteristic Trump embodies validates their skewed world view, but this idea that women have value only in their ability to arouse the male desire for sexual conquest is one of the most insidious.

children and grandchildren learning offensive words. Yes, they were disgustingly offensive, but what about the actions folks? That's what is downright horrifying! Teaching your sons and grandsons it's ok to grope and assault is the lesson to be unlearned here.
