A somewhat civil response! Thank-you. I'll respond in kind.
Your remote emotion reading machine needs a tune up, I'm perfectly calm
Your disdain for Omarosa is quite obvious. Like suggesting she "STFU" - she has much right to express her opinion as you do. I object to the fact you've never demanded Troop provide proof or STFU when he makes serious accusations about people.
Where did you get the 35% stat?? Did you come up with it yourself??
Nope. Approximately 3-4 months ago there was part of a thread that debated exactly this. Most people thought that the number was 35-40%. The 35% stat represents the hard-core Republicans who "would still support trump (or any Republican candidate) even if he shot someone on Park avenue" (I'm paraphrasing). The democrats also have a similar 35-40% hard-core support base. If you look at 538 or Rasmussen popularity polls Trump popularity rarely falls below 35% and typically hovers in the 35-40% strongly approve area.
I certainly wouldnt. And I dont think a lot of other people would either. N-word is not very nice
I was referencing the white supremacists, skin heads, etc. The White house spin doctors explain some of Trump's more colourful insults as "he says it like he sees it", "he's a plain talker" etc. I don't believe that.
For example calling Omarosa or any other person a dog is totally inappropriate IMHO. Same as "has-been", "loser", "dumbest", "fool", "idiot" and the 100 other words he uses. Barely acceptable man-to-man but totally unacceptable and cowardly from a company/political leader and especially from the POTUS.
Keep in mind Trump said "when you're a star, they let you do it". Trump did not say he forces himself on women who dont let him touch them.
1/2 true, lets not forget quite a few women came forward and claimed they didn't allow it (yes I accept some of them may have lied). Miss Universe contestants also objected to him barging into their changing rooms. Latoya Jackson and Joan Rivers daughter had to hire a bodyguard after Trump barged in on the set of Apprentice. I absolutely guarantee you not every woman will let Trump just start kissing them and grabbing their pussy - star or not. Where there is smoke there's fire, please be honest at least with yourself Phil, little doubt Trump has done it and been rejected - he's a big-time sexual sleaze.
But that was not the point of my original comment. My point was those pussy comments in no way hurt his standings among his core base, I don't believe use of the n-word (proven or not) will hurt him much either. The spin-doctors will try to blow it off as misquoted, bad humour, locker room talk or whatever.
And my other point was Trump initially denied all of this. He paraded people who lied to support him. He attacked his accusers, he even threatened to sue them. Proof was then provided, Trump apologized, but the point was he indeed did it, he lied and people lied for him.
BTW can I remind you what site you're on. I assume when you pay SP's you are also allowed to grab them by the pussy, because they let you do it.
Or is this the part where you claim you only read Terb for the articles and you've never paid an SP in your entire life??
No, I'm a former SC guy, I've never hired an SP.
No - just because a person hires an SP DOES NOT give them the right to do what they want how they want. The ladies have rules and should be treated with respect. I'm disappointed by your callous attitude towards women.
Going by the 2 interviews that I posted I dont believe they would defend Trump if he had said the N-word.
I think they would probably quit their job, and if interviewed they would just say no comment when asked if Trump ever said N-word.
They seemed pretty earnest that they've never heard Trump say the word
I also saw both interviews, I agree, they probably didn't hear Trump say the n-word. But I also believe both - very much like nasty Omarosa - are political opportunists. If they know something, they would most-likely weigh the benefit to themselves of keeping their mouths shut and gaining points with Trump. People lie in politics all the time, this is why I'm saying Omarosa is also likely lying.
No!! Omarosa claims someone in the WH holds it. That doesnt make it so
That's the meaning of what I said" "according to Omarosa" = Omarosa claims. Don't start being difficult please.
Nope!! Also not true. In fact Penn isnt exactly sure what Trump said. He cant even remember the exact details.
Here are his exact words (not exactly a star witness):

Your post is basically supporting what I said. Did you watch the interview?
I'm not sure who that person is, but Luntz has already said Omarosa is full of shit.
That doesnt exactly give her much credibility.
From Wiki: Frank Luntz is an American political consultant, pollster, and "public opinion guru" best known for developing talking points and other messaging for various Republican causes. If you read his entire Wiki profile (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Luntz) I think you will see why many people would say Luntz has little credibility. Lutz makes his living helping people like Trump and Gingrich manipulate people through carefully chosen wording. Almost all political operatives on both sides are scumbags.
If Trump said the N-word in a derogatory matter I will lose all respect for him.
I would still support his economic policies, but I wouldnt support him as a person.
Simple as that
With all of the immoral things he's done in his business and political life, all the lies he's told, all the investors he's stolen from, partners he's cheated, all the trades he hasn't paid, the historic facades he's destroyed, his personal insulting of people who have no way to fight back, ------- you draw the line an the n-word?
We've already debated the economic policies thing ...... let's just agree to disagree.
