Author Topic: CNN nuclear option - give Trump the Bill Cosby treatment (Read 741 times)

The gloves are off now -- now Trump is "Bill Cosby". They've gone full nuclear slander against Trump. I guess they're desperate?

Anyhow, I can't say it's good. Anything that makes a Hillary Clinton victory more likely is not a good thing.

Apparently it's easy to get a lineup of dumb broads claiming a famous man touched her inappropriately, had relations with her "without full consent" etc.

How does Trump successfully defend himself against such a nuclear slander attack? Even if he denies it just the right amount (neither ignoring it, nor "protesting too much"), so many people will have lingering doubts.

When an accusation like this happens, who's going to believe the rich, successful man? Society has trained us to mistrust and hate the rich. People are secretly jealous of them, and enjoy watching their downfall and anything that shows they are not perfect. It makes us feel better about our average, not-so-successful selves. We say to ourselves, "I'm willing to give up all that wealth -- and all those problems -- any day." We rationalize that his great wealth is inextricably tied up with his various flaws, and then we reject it all as a whole. That's why those gossip/scandal mags do so well.

Everyone is inclined to believe the poor "everyday" woman and sympathize with her.

I heard an interview on youtube that said it best: "The national media has decided to αssαssιnαtҽ Donald Trump."

At least they don't have to make a special Halloween costume for Hillary Clinton -- that costume's been around for years!

To be honest, as soon as that tape was released I knew it was more or less a wrap. The main problem here is that the electorate is much too broadly liberal and hypocritically hypersensitive when it comes to debauchery from someone as... ahem... debauched as Trump. The conservative vote is more fractured than ever, even though as a "republican" he had the enormous gift of running against THE most uncharismatic and wretched person ever to run for office. It just so happens that most of the voters are as wormy as she is.

Jesus never hated the rich (or anyone); He simply said woe to them (probably because of the influence they have to do good or evil and the great responsibilities that come with access to many material goods).

Hatred of the rich (or anyone) is a serious sin.
