Trump and those tapes.

The mad baker in da house.

I've been watching the news, and reading online, it seems the sex tapes being leaked are doing a fair bit of damage. I guess my question is, can the Republican party dump him now he's their nominee? It looks like a number of people in the party want to dump him, if they do, do they have to replace him with another nominee for President or not?

Seems he's dropping in the polls a fair bit, not to surprising really.. I'd be interested to know if the Republicans can drop him too, problem is, if they can drop him who do they replace him with at this late stage, if they can replace him..

Going by the online news earlier there's a possibility there's more tapes out there, if there is I reckon they could be his downfall. I'd be interested to know who found the current tapes and whether it was someone in the Clinton camp or not that found them, or came by them.

If there is, I wonder if the Republican's can dump him?.. The problem is who do they replace him with this close to the elections assuming they can dump him..

It'll be interesting to see what happens between now and the elections eh, these tapes seem to have put the cat amongst the pidgeons.

Is there any members from the U.S coming online at present? I know I'd like to hear their thoughts, and whether Trump can be dumped or not.

It's a pity funnysis isn't around at present, she could likely fill us in on a few facts and such.. Hopefully she'll be back online soon..

Going by the online news it looks like the Trump camp is digging up the email scandal Clinton got caught in in the hopes of doing a little muck raking. Whatever the new email evidence was I doubt it'll damage Clinton as much as Trumps lot at present, who knows though?

Sadly that seems to be politicking these days, no one seems to say anything about what they'll do to make the country better, they bad mouth the opposition, it seems to happen everywhere these days.. Maybe we're lucky in that while they muck rake here, it doesn't seem to, or hasn't got as bad as in the US yet.. I wonder what happened to the good old days when people campaigned and either won or lost because of what they were or weren't going to do for the country, or their electorate?..

It looks like Trump's dug himself a good hole, the news today said there was some women thinking of suing him for the groping some 30 years ago.

I guess it comes back to our wondering if the Republicans can dump him or not, if the can I wonder if they can put someone else up in his place?

I suspect he'd carry on as an independent if he was dumped, that and assuming the Republicans could replace him after dumping him. Given election days less than 2 months away I don't think they'd have time to put someone else up, that is unless it was the second most popular candidate that's now stood down from the race.

I guess that's an option, get the next highest polling candidate that dropped out of the race and put him in Trumps place, at least if that person had a reasonable vote count they might stand a chance.. With the current scandal the race is pretty much a one horse race at present, that is unless the Trump camp find something even more damning than the apparent escapades Trump seems to have dogging him..

It looks like more are coming forward going by this mornings news online, rather than trying to do something to stop the damage he's suggesting drug tests before the next presidential debate, so insinuating Clinton is taking something she shouldn't.

I just saw the news item, it got me laughing, especially with all he has to get out of, I guess it takes the spotlight off him a little though..

That was no doubt the idea, to little to late I think, the media have their teeth into the sex scandal at present.

I'm thinking his camp will have to try a lot harder than that seeing he's in under the spotlight with more women coming out daily and pointing the finger, just my opinion anyway..

It'll be interesting to read the news later and see if he's come up with a way of digging himself out of the current hole he's dug himself.

It seems the media is getting blamed for the voting being rigged now, like they can rig polling place voting. (r)

I guess he can't blame himself for going down in the polls, lol..

The way he gobs off his mouth will see him go down pretty quickly, he's not diplomatic or careful how he says things, just out and says it, stuff the consequences eh.

He does seem to open his mouth and not think of the consequences of his being so.. forthright eh..

I see he's still rabbiting about how both the media and Clinton rigged the voting, if I was him I'd be in damage control over the leaked tapes, but I guess this is underlying the medias credibility a little even if it is a load of ballony.

I'm still thinking that while Clinton has her faults she'd be better at the job than Trump, she may have made mistakes in the past, but that was then eh, I think she's learned from that, time to move on IMO..

In my opinion she's the better of two evils, if I was voting she'd get my vote over Trump every time at present.

Agreed, based on what we know here I'd go with her too..

I see Obama told him to stop whinging about the rigged vote, especially seeing it hasn't happened yet.
