I'm pret-t-ty sure writing op-eds is totally foreign to Trump, (as reading them probably is), however his ego is displayed in other ways.

1) His love of fast food allowed him to enjoy hamburgers with Grimace from McDonald's.

2) And of course, dinner with the Mrs. at Pizza Hut

3) But then you have to pay for dinner, even if you have to "Trumpster" dive to find your Visa card

4) Oh what the heck, he'a a huckster back then and still now...selling mattresses with sleepy sheep, hawking Toshiba PCs, and... he really loves fast food.

Trump on tape saying things you can't even say om BroadwayWorld!

"I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the PUS*Y."

“I did try and **** her. She was married. And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’ I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look. Whoa! Whoa! I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful-- I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the ****. You can do anything.”

--Donald J. Trump

She said only half were deplorable, liar.

And being acted upon.

I frequently have to remind myself that the Women's National Anti-Suffrage League did exist, after all, so women voting for the likes of Trump isn't entirely out of bounds even if completely irrational by healthy modern standards.

Pundits are now tripping over each other guessing about whether or not Trump is going to drop out. My prediction: Pence will drop from the VP slot.

I'm hoping that GOP evangelical voters and principled Republicans opt to sit this one out. Right-wing establishment politicos need to do penance for giving Trump a free pass while he sought the party nomination. Their blood-lust for repealing the Affordable Care Act and obstructionist tendencies in Congress created a leadership vacuum that has been filled by a cult of personality of the worst order.

Nonetheless, Trump's claim that Bill Clinton said much worse things to him on the golf course is not easily dismissed. Men of means and mega-influence have routinely operated with impunity in their dealings with the distaff side and the otherwise less privileged. Even my very apolitical mom suggested that Hillary innately knows Trump because she's married to a more polished version of him...her assessment, not mine. Fortunately, the fact that today a male contender's treatment of women is a litmus test to evaluate presidential suitability could be a watershed moment for human rights worldwide.

Try telling that to a woman.

That last line is also very "canned." As Hillary already has enough trouble seeming grounded and relatable, falling back on a one-line zinger would probably not sit well or feel right... especially in a town hall format. I agree with Rumpelstilskin. Just stick to policy and facts. Don't even give Trump the time of day. That's how she wins tomorrow night, in my opinion.

With only a month to the election and Hillary ahead in the polls, i think it's time for her to stick to the high road. Let's leave the personal attack to her surrogates.

Agree. The ideal response would be to quote Michelle O'Bama, "When they go low, we go high," and add "The audio speaks for itself, and Donald's response does as well. I am the one running for president, and I want to speak to the issues tonight."

Her bigger issue IMO is the leak of the speech excerpts, not because they have anything damning in them but because she's going to be asked about them, and if she flubs the answer, that will give the chattering chickens fodder for their "he has this but she has that" nonsense.

This year's election has been brought to you by Ringling Bros./Barnum & Bailey.....

If SNL doesn't get Alec Baldwin back next week to do a Trump parody "And I'm Telling You, I'm Not Going..." I am going to be insanely disappointed.
