How much she loves him and wants very much for him to be proud of her as he is with his favorite.

I know he probably meant abortion, but in that clip it's not clear case.

That statement is not an admission that he tried to get his mistress to have an abortion.

isn't the same as saying go get an abortion. He could have been referring to adoption. Also he could have been referring to deciding whether to get married.

All of that is false.

This old interview with Howard Stern has already been played numerous times, and he isn't talking about abortion.

...which Republicans repudiate with their own lives, and apply only to other people.

The GOP is the most morally corrupt & hypocritical organization in the history of the whole frikken planet.

I'm not falling for the Russia story one bit, albeit there is no doubt a Russian server was involved in this and other hacks.

Abortion is OK if you have an R beside your name?

That already covers multiple counts of sexual assault for them.

This had been reported many months ago. I remember reading all about it. I guess Trump's news is always news.
