14. I agree. We all watched him the last 6 months

All of us. Both sides. We all also heard him in his own words. Yes the media can dissipate it but it’s there. Everyone has it stuck in their brain.

The Woodward stuff will last a week tops. Yes I’m fully aware of the the susceptibility of the public but Trump can’t stay quiet, he will come out and play his biggest hits and it will trigger something in everyone. The losers and suckers thing burned a lot of votes for him that won’t come back. This will be 5 times that at least.

To the OP, DI - the Access tape is different. He was running against the system and a candidate who had somehow withered 25 years of attacks. But she had 25 years of attacks and their were people who would never vote for her. Anyway the media had told them they didn’t need to - the election was already over. Trump won on a fluke. Now he is running on himself and that’s not a good brand.
