The release of the Access Hollywood tape, showing Donald Trump making demeaning, degrading comments about women, marks the end of the Trump campaign, even if he does not drop out, which in itself, would be unprecedented in American history.
The Richard Nixon resignation comes to mind as this crisis unfolds, and the Republican leadership has condemned what Trump said back in 2005, and many are abandoning him en masse this morning as I write.
Trump could be on the road to the worst defeat of any Presidential candidate of modern times, that being William Howard Taft in 1912, when he only won 23 percent of the popular vote.
On the other hand, the Trump supporters seem to be loyal, and to lack any principles, morals, and ethics, so who can say that the trash and scum of America will not back him with their votes, no matter what he says or does?
If there would ever be a reason to challenge the constitutionality of a potential dictator taking power, it would be this scenario.
The Republican Party must take action NOW for the nation, even if it means giving up the Presidency, but the future of the party is gloomy in any case, with its extremist right wing agenda, which all decent people reject!
Gotta love this party — racism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, and previous nasty comments about women – “fat pigs,†“blood coming out of her whatever,†etc. – are all hunky dory, but once they fear defeat at the polls, THEN they condemn Trump.
Republican politicians are bailing out on Donald Trump like rats deserting a sinking ship.
The floodgates are opening. CNN has dug up 17 years worth of interviews with Howard Stern where Trump engaged in crude and demeaning conversations about women, even about his own daughter.

I think Pence is likely to bail, but he may wait to see the outcome of the next debate, if it happens.
In an announcement made tonight, the Trump campaign said that the candidate would withdraw from the race to take the lead role in the remake of the movie ,”Caligula”.
He passed up another opportunity to play the lead chimpanzee role in the remake of ” Bedtime for Bonzo,”
Called, “Bedtime for Donzo”.
Say goodnight, Donnie. Shut off the lights on your way to oblivion.
This whole situation seems like an alternative universe!
Paul remains quite the comic! 🙂 LOL
According to CNN, the first set of questions will be about Trump’s vulgar comments.

I can just envision how tawdry this thing can become tonight.
Guliani said that Trump will probably apologize again. I can’t see that happening.
I agree with you, Paul, but great drama, better than any tv show yet produced! LOL
Yes, the Donald has all the luck. He complained his microphone didn’t work in the first debate and wishes it didn’t in the Access Hollywood tape
HAHA, good point, Paul! 🙂
Re: Trump’s accusation that Clinton destroyed 31,000 emails that were subject to a Congressional subpoena, here is a guide to Clinton’s emails put out by Fact Check.org:Â http://www.factcheck.org/2016/07/a-guide-to-clintons-emails/
My impression of the debate last night: Trump looked like the Hulk or Lurch, pacing and trying to intimidate her; gross versus grace.
Trump’s threat in the debate to imprison Hillary is a threat to democracy. Sounded very much like something his BFF Putin would have said.
The GOP tree has been infested with Tea Party termites for over a decade. All that’s left is the “bark,” in the form of a rabid dog named Trump.
Your comments, all of you, are well put!
Paul Ryan is the latest Republican to dump Trump.
Also, Wall Street Journal’s new poll has Hillary 11 points ahead of Trump since Trump’s lewd video.
