If this is what finally does him in I'm a little perplexed. People have ignored so many other things. Also this was 10 years ago. I guess it shows the power of video. If somebody had recalled the conversation and told a reporter, but it wasn't on video I'm certain it wouldn't have made any difference. That person would be called a liar by Trump and nobody would care.
I expect maybe a 2-3% dip in the polls for him because of this, and by election day it'll probably revert back to the mean. I still think Clinton will win by about 50% to 44%, but I thought that before this video.
The GOP cheered when he called Cruz a pussy on stage. Shrugged when they learned he pitched stories about his infidelities to tabloids as his own fake publicist. He wrote about sleeping with married women in his books. How did they not see this coming? This ends any chance to expand to voters he needs to win
