when they are like him...a sexual predator. If trump didn't have the influence he has and always had in New York I wonder how many women had abortions because of his sexually predatory nature?

Time was, a Republican candidate with allegations of sexual misconduct would win the primary in a landslide.

I'm old enough to remember when these types of issues meant people slunk into obscurity in shame. Now being named a sexual predator is a fucking badge of honor with these creeps.
