Simple question, Who do women believe? The accusers or Trump?

With the Cosby story as a backdrop, I personally believe that almost no women believe Trump.
I believe millions of women who might have voted for him, will not. Many of those will be very strong republicans who puke at the thought of voting for Trump.

Most Republicans will believe Trumps self-proclaimed testimonials of innocence, just as they believe everything else he says. Democrats will remember his own words as he bragged about his multiple sexual conquests, and weigh the statements of all the women who have come forward to detail Trump's assaults against them.

believe Trumps self proclaimed testimonials of innocence.." He is such a liar, that a HUGE amount will either vote for Hillary, or not vote. Perhaps that is just how I feel, but it will be up to the ladies to decide.. We will find out for sure on November 8 at about 10 pm.

I must admit that one lady who had her breast touched and then suffered for a lifetime didn't impress me. Sorry. I would have told him to get his hand off my breast and hit the road, and spit on his buddies. But I'm not her and she had image problems to begin with.

I believe that there are millions like you. Trump underestimates the number of men who act this way. I think this will lead to a landslide for Hillary.
