Daughter to Female Trump Supporter: "Would you believe My Mom?"

Her coworker who she has know almost 10 years. The woman was going on and on about how she did not believe the women who have come forward accusing Trump of sexual groping, harassment, etc.

My daughter told this woman of my experience with Trump 40 years ago when we were both NYC Natives and in our 20's. Yes, THAT long ago. She said her coworker just stood there frozen not saying a word, This was in the company's break room and she said more and more female employees came over to listen to what she was saying.

Not one single woman tried to discount what my daughter was saying, including the Trump supporter.

Just imagine how many other women have met "The Donald" and have stories to tell about him, perhaps even going back to his Teenage years. He is who he is.

Come on, Nasty Women, let's keep this poor excuse for a male human being out of the Presidency and a disgrace to our Nation.

1. In the 80s he didn't go for me (not his type) but did offer $10,000 to a model friend.

I was/am Petite and Thin, I was carded well into my 30's. People always told me that I looked like a young teenager. Was my attraction to Trump the fact that I looked liked an underage girl, but wasn't?

Totally creeps me out today. He is a Pedophile in addition to everything else?

4. I always looked far younger, too. And saw my share of the pedo types in LA/NYC. My friend was

an established model and he was only interested in her then, though he would have gone for a threesome if she would oblige. To me he was just goofy and I never took his existence even seriously back then.

I was 5'4", Sz 4-6, and was actually very involved with someone who Trump would NOT have wanted to cross….at all.

I completely sympathize with your situation - looking like a teen when you're 30 is a window into a world most people wish to never see. I fell victim to the type ONCE. Some day we'll have to chat privately.

It's not always fun to appear so young at times.

who is only 5' tall. But then, her figure is pretty astounding for any height.

11. He has a strange fetish for very tall women.

Not just two of the three wives (Marla Maples was short by his standards) but also Miss Universe winners when he ran the pageant.

Only .7 of one percent of American women are 5-feet-10-inches and taller.

There are those women who have come forward, and then those who have not but speak out to their own friends.

And, there is this moment when the whole country saw what a creep he is:

5. I don't think it helped when so many women came forward

No doubt all the stories are legitimate. But during that week or so when all the women spoke out I knew exactly what would happen: Conservative leaning women and some independents would view it as orchestrated piling on, a timed intentional stunt.

It actually removed some impact from the bus tape, instead of adding to it. Now instead of Trump's words standing alone in public memory we've got the convenient ability to dismiss his accusers of blatantly lying for political and publicity purposes.

While my experience with him never reached the level of these other women, it is not good to keep these experiences buried deep within yourself for decades. This is especially true when women blame themselves for what was done to them. When you get into society's climate of decades ago, women did blame something they themselves did for cause it.

12. Which to me proves the point that they were coming forward on their own

If the campaign had somehow orchestrated all of the women coming forward, it would have happened in a more controlled manner, and stretched out over several weeks.

AFAIC, that proves the honesty of the whole thing.
