As many people are pointing out, Republicans now trying to distance themselves from Donald Trump need to explain why The Tape was a breaking point, when so many previous incidents weren’t.
Meanwhile, the Trump-Ailes axis of abuse raises another question: Is sexual predation by senior political figures — which Mr. Ailes certainly was, even if he pretended to be in the journalism business — a partisan phenomenon?
Just to be clear, I’m not talking about bad behavior in general. Yes, Bill Clinton had affairs; but there’s a world of difference between consensual sex, however inappropriate, and abuse of power to force those less powerful to accept your urges.
Take, for example, what was happening politically in 2006, it looked as if Republicans might retain control of Congress despite public revulsion at the Bush administration. But then came the Foley scandal: Representative Mark Foley, had been sending sexually explicit messages to pages, and his party had failed to take any action despite warnings, the scandal seems to have led to a Democratic wave.
But think about how much bigger that wave might have been if voters had known that Dennis Hastert, who had been speaker of the House since 1999, himself had a long history of molesting teenage boys.
Why do all these stories involve Republicans? One answer may be structural. The G.O.P. is, or was until this election, a monolithic, hierarchical institution, in which powerful men could cover up their sins much better than they could in the far looser Democratic coalition.
There is also, I’d suggest, an underlying cynicism. We’re talking about a party that has long exploited white backlash to mobilize working-class voters, while enacting policies that actually hurt those voters but benefit the wealthy. Anyone participating in that scam has to have the sense that politics is a sphere in which you can get away with a lot if you have the right connections.
Assuming that Mr. Trump loses, many Republicans will try to pretend that he was a complete outlier, unrepresentative of the party. But he isn’t. He won the nomination fair and square, chosen by voters who had a pretty good idea of who he was. He had solid establishment support until very late in the game. And his vices are, dare we say, very much in line with his party’s recent tradition.
Mr. Trump, in other words, isn’t so much an anomaly as he is a pure distillation of his party’s modern essence.

Trump/Foley/Hastert/Ailes are not the only ones. They are just the biggest ones. A list of less famous political sex scandals:

In 24 hours, Donald Trump was accused of sexual harassment, assault, or inappropriate behavior 11 times.
http://qz.com/808190/us-presidential-race-donald-trump-was-accused-of-
sexual-harassment-assault-or-inappropriate-behavior-11-times-on-october-12/
Here’s a list of the accusations against Trump that had been made public in the past 24 hours, as of about 1am ET on Oct. 13:
Mariah Billado, former Miss Teen Vermont, and three other women who asked to remain anonymous, told Buzzfeed in an article published Oct. 12 that Trump would walk into the show’s changing room as the participants (all teenagers at the time) were getting dressed for the Miss USA pageant. Billado claims Ivanka Trump, who was the host of the show, was aware of it.
Tasha Dixon, who was Miss Arizona in 2001, told CBS News Trump walked into a dressing room as Miss USA contestants were changing into their bikinis. “There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Other girls were naked.”
An unnamed Miss USA contestant told the Guardian that Trump “barged right in, didn’t say anything, stood there and stared at us” as she and another contestant were getting dressed for a pageant rehearsal.
Mindy McGillivray told the Palm Beach Post on Oct. 12 that she was groped by Trump in his Mar-a-Lago residency.
Jessica Leeds, a businesswoman who sat next to Trump on a flight, remembers him grabbing her breasts and trying to put his hands up her skirt. On Oct. 12, she told the New York Times, “he was like an octopus, his hands were everywhere.”
Rachel Crooks, who was a receptionist in 2005, told the Times she introduced herself to Trump in near an elevator in Trump Tower, and after shaking her hand he wouldn’t let go, and “kissed me directly on the mouth.”
Natasha Stoynoff, a writer for People magazine, said in an article published late Oct. 12 that Trump ushered her into a private room at his Palm Beach estate under the guise of a house tour, and “within seconds he was pushing me against the wall and forcing his tongue down my throat.”
In a 1992 Entertainment Tonight Christmas special that resurfaced on Oct. 12, Trump is seen calling to a group of young girls in puffy winter coats going up an escalator in Trump Tower. When one turns around, he tells the the camera, “I’ll be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?”
Assuming there are no overlaps between the anonymous Buzzfeed and Guardian sources, that’s 11 accusations of assault, inappropriate conduct, or harassment by Trump in just 24 hours.

They shouldn't be.

He wasn't attempting to be president 16 years ago, if he had it would have been brought up then, too.

The New York Times’s Lawyer Responds to Donald Trump
www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/10/13/us/politics/david-mccraw-trump-
letter.html
This is the letter David McCraw, vice president and assistant general counsel of The New York Times, wrote in response to a request from Marc E. Kasowitz, Mr. Trump's lawyer, to retract an article that featured two women accusing Mr. Trump of touching them inappropriately years ago, and issue an apology.

Re: Demand for Retraction
Dear Mr. Kasowitz:
I write in response to your letter of October 12, 2016 to Dean Baquet concerning your client Donald Trump, the Republican Party nominee for President of the United States. You write concerning our article “Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately” and label the article as “libel per se.” You ask that we “remove it from [our] website, and issue a full and immediate retraction and apology." We decline to do so.
The essence of a libel claim, of course, is the protection of one’s reputation. Mr. Trump has bragged about his non-consensual sexual touching of women. He has bragged about intruding on beauty pageant contestants in their dressing rooms. He acquiesced to a radio host’s request to discuss Mr. Trump’s own daughter as a “piece of ass.” Multiple women not mentioned in our article have publicly come forward to report on Mr. Trump’s unwanted advances. Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself.
But there is a larger and much more important point here. The women quoted in our story spoke out on an issue of national importance - indeed, an issue that Mr. Trump himself discussed with the whole nation watching during Sunday night’s presidential debate. Our reporters diligently worked to confirm the women’s accounts. They provided readers with Mr. Trump’s response, including his forceful denial of the women’s reports. It would have been a disservice not just to our readers but to democracy itself to silence their voices. We did what the law allows: We published newsworthy information about a subject of deep public concern. If Mr. Trump disagrees, if he believes that American citizens had no right to hear what these women had to say and that the law of this country forces us and those who would dare to criticize him to stand silent or be punished, we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight.
Sincerely,
David E. McCraw

Trump's Defense: His Accusers Are Too Ugly to Molest
Ladies and gentlemen, the Republican nominee for the presidency of the United States:
www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/10/trumps-defense-gropegate-accuse
rs-too-ugly-molest
Trump calling Bill Clinton a rapist and arguing that Hillary is the beneficiary of a vast international banking conspiracy are not efforts to reassure college educated women that Trump is not an unstable boor.
What Trump is trying to do, primarily, is convince people who are already on his side that his looming defeat is not his fault. It’s the media’s fault for publishing false testimony. It is the women's fault for being too ugly to touch. It’s Crooked Hillary’s fault. Trump’s aim is to convince rank-and-file conservatives that someone — not Trump — is to blame. Whatever he’s planning next — whether it’s Trump TV or a political career for Donald Trump Jr. or a new line of Trump-branded manufactured homes — he needs to go to war to preserve his reputation.

“It terrifies me and it should terrify all women,” Jones stated about Hillary’s presidential ambitions.
“It should terrify all men and women,” Willey added. “She will annihilate any enemy. All of her enemies. Anybody who has spoken against her. Across the board for I don’t know how many years. She will get rid of them.”
“No woman who advocates for women attacks the victims of sexual assault be it by her husband or anybody else,” said Willey.
The women argued that the term “enabler” best describes Hillary Clinton’s role in her husband’s alleged sexual crimes.
“There is not a better word for any of this,” stated Broaddrick. “Especially when she threatened me personally.”
Willey added, “She is complicit in everything that he has done.”
Let me just point out that the author left out vital relevant facts in the opinion piece. Doing that is known as cherry-picking. And whether you do that in the news, in discussion, in debate or in opinion, when you distort the facts, you've changed the nature of your communication into propaganda. But WE don't have any of THAT in the US, do we?!

Then an American, I know that has lived in Canada for many years when I told him that suggested that the Republicans just pull Trump and run his VP as the Presidential candidate.
What do you all think? I think the first one is a good idea but maybe the second one could work as well.
Too late, people started early voting a week ago.
