1. He doesn't always grope women ...

... but when he does, they are only the best.

I wonder how many "at least he's got good taste in broads" votes Donald scored today. "Yeah, like he shouldn't be grabbing pussies - but ya gotta give the guy credit for only goin' after the primo stuff."

I can't believe this is a topic of discussion in the midst of a presidential campaign. And yet it is.

Thanks to the GOP for keepin' it classy!

I saw that as well. Talk about one of the all time worst ways to defend yourself against such a claim.

I really don't think that kind of talk is going to gather him much support with any undecided woman voters out there.

5. what I see sad is people bring kids to his rally & he says this cruel crap while kids parents cheer.

And then Republicans seem shocked when teens start face booking hate comments or a 10 year old stands up and shouts "jail the bitch"

9. Trump respects women!

Sometimes, he respects them up close without their consent.

They should be honored!

8. He also talks about their appearance now

when the groping happened years ago. I'm Trump's age, but that many years ago, I looked a lot different than I do now. Trump wasn't so fat then either.

11. A delayed mid-life crisis of epic proportion! That's what this has been about all along.

13. In a way (don't shoot me), I feel sorry for him.

He's gone through this for decades with no one talking him down. At this point, his mind is 'made up' and he is incapable of thinking clearly.

Despite what Clinton said about having respect for his family, I think the exact opposite point can be made: that his family failed him because they, like all his paid sycophants, were incapable of reining him in. In a way, they have contributed to bring him to this ugly end.

I tell my daughters they should always stand up to me and tell me when they think I'm wrong. Just like Greg House would say!

14. He shouldn't need anyone to remind him that sexual assault is a deplorable crime.

Not a speck of sympathy from me. All of my sympathy goes to his victims.

16. Like most angry, bitter old men, however, he has never been in love.

I agree with you, there is no excuse for his sexual assaults, but think about what drives him and other buffoons like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity and all the rest. They are lashing out all the time. Maybe, at this point in their lives, they are incapable of change. It's ingrained behavior.

People who are relatively content with their lives or a significant other don't behave this way, do they?

At least that's been my observation over the years.

I'm simply trying to understand this alien mindset a little.
