Was just locker room bantz!

Nope, nope, and nope. And while I doubt there is a Savile-esque trail of actual wrongdoing, what he said is totally disqualifying. 

Have to say it as well, those defending him with the "locker room" line aren't coming off half as clever as they might think

The mentality is the same as Savile's, the scale of offences committed doesn't have to be of Savile level to make the thinking any less dangerous.
His ex wife testified under oath that he raped her.

The shocking thing is Actually hearing Trump talk dirty like the egomaniacal predator that he is regarding women.
Tomorrow night will be Insane!

Y'va your statements are crazy, comparing Trump to Saville.

Anyway, Trump will come fighting in tomorrow's debate.

I'd say it's extremely on point considering Trump has been accused of raping a 13 year old girl.

Really?
I took quotes from both and the quotes demonstrated an uncanny similarity in terms of how they perceived their power to do as they pleased.

Yeah, I think the comparison is apt. Bill Cosby's another reference that doesn't feel too far-fetched. The accusations were around for decades in his case and came from a multitude of women. Same with Trump. They don't even bother to keep up appearances. Cosby used to do a standup routine about how he roofied women, Trump brags about how he can do whatever he wants to women because he's rich.

There's a good writeup here (I know it's Huff Post and some of you are allergic to them, but it was one of the first hits in Google and the article is written by a legal expert who's on point) about some of the past accusations against Trump, and it's one long ugly read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lisa-bloom/why-the-new-child-rape-ca_b_10619944.html

Don't get the reference, but I mean "entertaining" in the sense that there's some newly disgusting thing about him revealed almost every month.

She means that sooner or later people will realize that it's not a clown, it's Pennywise from Stephen King's It.

And TBF Bill Clinton fits into that category too.

This whole election cycle is crazy. At least there is a bit of entertainment watching Trump go down in flames now.

This election has been a disaster, but I still think it's the start of a new (and better) political alignment in the US.

Well the US economy is doing well. They need the dollar to weaken a tad but that's nothing monetary policy can't sort out

That in and of itself will be an interesting angle, the default line of logic for a lot of Americans is that Democrats will ruin the economy but Obama's actually done well in his second stint in terms of sorting out the economy (after a mediocre first term). He's even beaten a lot of the promises that Romnney ran on in 2012.

Yep indeed. That said their level of borrowing is still astronomical

The US economy isn't doing well. If it were, Trump wouldn't be the Republican nominee for president.

It's been doing well of late hence the rate hike projections

Elsewhere the rest of the world is slicing interest rates with the Japanese mucking about with negative rates and toying with the idea of helicopter money and trying to manipulate long term yields with selling off of long term bonds

Best twitter account this election season.

Trump is now hosting a Q&A surrounded by women who have made accusations against Bill Clinton in the past.

This is properly insane.

He'll MakeAmericaGropeAgain once he's done to MakeAmericaGagAgain.

In all the entertainment value I'd forgotten why politics is nothing less than my community trash can.

Surely this was something hillary and her team have anticipated and prepared for, for a long time now.
