Joy Reid Is Covering The Latest Rape Allegation By Trump - Time To Call For His Resignation.....

We know he's and admitted serial sexual assaulter based on his now infamous 'pussy grabbing' comments. He's had 15 to 20 women accuse him of similar incidents.

Now is the time to take this to the next level. We must call for his resignation. Put him on the defensive on this. We know he's a pathological liar. All of these women can't be lying. We know who is lying here and it is Trump.

Al Franken was run out for lesser accusations. It's time to call for Trump's resignation as a sexual assaulter. We can't have such a person representing our country.

BTW what do you think "calling for his resignation" will actually accomplish?

I ask you - what did calling for Franken's resignation accomplish? Did you notice - Franken's no longer with us.

I believe that all Dems - should bring up Trump's sexual assaults and rapes as much as possible. They should condemn them and call for Trump's resignation - even if there is a chance that Trump will slide by again because of his denials. Calling for his resignation - puts him on the defensive. He'll have to expend time and energy - defending himself - and maybe keep him from doing more damage to this country in the meantime.

The MeToo movement needs to make noise about this too. If no one is willing to speak up about this - it will allow Trump to slide by once again.

But - even if he is allowed to ultimately slide by on this - if the Dems and the MeToo movement remain vocal - it puts Trump on the defensive and he'll probably wind up shooting himself in the foot by saying something stupid or incriminating.

At the minimum - it might change some Trump votes to the Dem candidate in Nov. 2020.

But just to ignore this and let it slip by the media is the wrong thing to do.

Like I Said - We Need To Call For His Resignation - Put Him On The Defensive.

We need to point out other politicians that resigned or were drummed out of office by similar incidents or even lesser incidents.

Keep the heat on Trump. Don't let up. Don't let him or the MSM sweep this under the rug. Or would you just rather normalize his behavior on sexual assaulting too.

At best - if he has to focus on defending himself - it keeps him from talking about other things.

The people that put and keep the heat on him about this will know what to say and how to get under his skin.

By saying or doing nothing - he just skates by again. We can't let him do that. This has happened one too many times. He's a serial sexual assaulter. This is not befitting of a person that calls himself a president.

He thinks this incident is over because he said she's lying, he doesn't know her and she's not his type.

Well we can't let this be over. We need to keep on him. Again - call for his resignation.

Let him have to keep on defending himself and answer the same questions - over and over and over. That will really frustrate the hell out of him.

The reason he skates by all the time is because once he's given his response - he thinks he's done and no one continues to badger him about it.

We can't let that happen this time.

Franken's OWN party, forced his resignation. Nixon would ever have resigned if his own people hadn't turned on him. Do you need to be reminded we are no longer dealing with just an opposing political party but a cult, dare I say insurgency, devoted to keeping Trump in power AT ANY PRICE?

I still don't think it would hurt if pressure was put on Trump and even the Repugs - to get Trump to resign. If it doesn't happen - at least it keeps the pressure on them, puts them on the defensive and shows them for what they really are.

You know that if the shoe were on the other foot - they would have blown this up and put excessive pressure on the MSM and the Dem Party to take action. Why don't we use their same tactics?

Doing nothing in my opinion - makes the Dems look weak. Like we approve of Trump's behavior.
