INDEFENSIBLE:

Donald Trump is a fundamentally dishonorable and dishonest person - and has been his whole adult life. The evidence has been in front of those willing to see it all along. And there's more to find. And there's more in the Clinton stockpile. 

Character is destiny. The man in the video is Donald Trump. Sure, it's bawdy Trump. It's "locker room Trump."  And I'm no prude about dirty talk in private. But that isn't all that's going on. This isn't just bad language or objectifying women with your buddies. It's a married man who is bragging about trying to bed a married woman. It's an insecure, morally ugly, man-child who thinks boasting about how he can get away with groping women "because you're a star" impresses people. He's a grotesque -- as a businessman and a man full stop.  

If you can see that, but still think Hillary Clinton would be worse. Fine. Just be prepared for an endless stream of more embarrassments in your name. And, for my friends in the media and in politics,  if you minimize, dismiss or celebrate his grotesqueness out of partisan zeal, just keep in mind that some people, including your children, might think you mean it.
