I watched the clip on CNN at our cabin in Alpine. Spent the day in the field, didn't expect to listen to Donald Trump talk about grabbing pussy on the news.
The President of the United States is supposed to be a role model, both for the kids in our country and for people around the world. In my lifetime I consider Barack Obama, the first George Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Gerald Ford to be good role models. They were human, humane, good family men, seemed to care about people in the USA and abroad. In contrast you have the second George Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Richard Nixon. Not particularly role-modelish in their public and private lives.
I've watched with alarm and amazement as Donald Trump became the Republican nominee. Millions of Americans voted for this reality tv con artist. He has said so many horrible things about minorities and women, and yet he has millions of fanatical followers. Look at his Facebook page, nothing he does or says turns these people away. Even his "I grab women by the pussy" statement is viewed as something to be admired. What is wrong with these people?
I know that Hillary Clinton isn't a saint. But she is so qualified to be president, as opposed to Trump. I am at least comforted knowing that she will win this election and rapist-wannabe Trump will not.
