1. wow. Brave woman.

And he asked her to support his campaign? IOW, he doesn't think whatever he did was an offense.

3. Flash flood of accusations are going to be one hell of a backlash.

Scorched earth. Mixed metaphors for our mixed up time.

5. Is that necessarily a good thing?

Democrats who are accused, will presumably have to go without any investigation.
But not Republicans.

6. I don't know that anyone can stop this.

7. I am not saying anyone can stop this.

I am saying accusations made via social media isn't necessarily a good thing.

8. Social media is what happens when people feel like no one will listen to them

through ordinary channels.

9. Do you believe everything posted on social media?

I am not talking specifically about this particular allegation, as this one is also can be found in mainstream press.

10. It really doesn't come down to who I will believe or not believe.

That's going off on a tangent.

The fact is, people are going to use social media as a platform, and if it's an issue that resonates with others who feel like them, their comments may get traction.

11. One can also post a lot of things without any verification.

On social media as a platform. Again, not talking about this particular allegation, but in general.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Yup.

And I imagine that the laws of libel will help keep false statements to a minimum.

13. Trump wants to strengthen libel laws.

14. I don't doubt that for a second.

4. Trump will be going to his state for a rally to defend him in 5..4..3..2..1
