You may be right.. Fibberdigibbets, LOL - may still have voted for him. It still boggles my mind that so many educated white women voted for him after the Access Hollywood Tape.
Even if you were undecided on policy issues. That alone would have sealed the deal for me. The man admitted to sexually assaulting women. Grabbing women by their genitals because he can, kissing them without permission, simply because he's a celebrity. Disgusting. Is that the kind of leader you want?
Any man that does that to me is getting a slap in the face, a knee in the groin and I'm calling 911. I don' t care who you are. But even after that tape surfaced, we were still talking about Hillary's emails on tv. Followed by Podesta emails. It was mind boggling.
And yes, they certainly normalized his transgressions. A lot was made out of Hillary's Deplorables comments. Again, the media - went to town with coverage about her comments - as if she had committed the ultimate sin. While ignoring the violence and racism at his rallies. That HE encouraged. So once again, she was vilified for calling out something that should not be accepted.
