...the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape in which Donald Trump bragged about forcing himself on women...

I thought he said he *could* force himself on women, not that he *did* force himself on women.

It was never really in doubt once Donald Trump descended that escalator and said he would stand up for America and Americans.

Both parties were preventing us from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
He said he would stop it.
He won on that.

So, Yahoo documented a massive effort by the first communist president and the DNC to invent and spread lies about the people’s choice?

Does that really count as “the wildest 64 hours in modern political history”?

To me, it marks an absolutely egregious abuse of government power.

So I went to Real Clear Politics, for some reason that site has become a Holy Grail for the punditry. Here are the average of polls after the Trump tape had been thoroughly distributed in the media--3 days or afterward.:

So Trump was below 40% as the media IGNORED the scandals of Shrillary and focused like myopic nerds on a ten year old private conversation of locker room talk.

Keep it up, media. This Trump Hate is really working for you, isn't it?

I totally, seriously, doubt that any major change of any significant number of voters minds occurred during those 64 hours, no matter what happened during those hours or what the pollsters said at the time.

Correlation is NOT causation. Events, or changed values of variables, that occur in some similar time frame are no proof that said events are a cause of anything, just because they occur in that time frame.

Worth pointing out that in the one-sided Hilary Clinton Bizarro world, everything bad happens to her (Wikileaks) but she only acknowledges the Access Hollywood tape as something that Wikileaks was used to counter. The fact is that Access Hollywood was a banner headline everywhere for at least a week.

article looks like someone dumped a ton of random 2016 election news articles into a digital bass-o-matic and this is what popped out.

truly this article is an incoherent mess with zero insight to add to truly excellent narratives such as the book “Shattered”.

As I recall, they screwed up and released the video early, on the Friday before the debate, allowing Trump time to counterattack by trotting out four of BJC's victims in front of the media before the debate and having them in the debate's live audience. It was a hoot watching BJC's face during the debate.

The video was supposed to have been released the morning after the debate, in order to wipe out any Trump bounce from a good debate performance.

hen the Washington Post published published the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape in which Donald Trump bragged about forcing himself on women.

Someone call the fire department. The Yahoo staff seem to have incendiary britches.

I missed the part where Russians made me vote for Trump against my will.
