Trump MUST start the debate with a sincere apology and a quick pivot.
"Before I answer questions about the truly critical issues facing this nation; a stagnant economy, unsecured borders, a breakdown of law and order, a military in desperate need of rebuilding, and our deteriorating standing in the world I need to apologize. An 11year old recording of a private conversation I had was made public. I said some things that were crude, coarse, and undignified. There is no excuse and no explanation. I want to apologize to everyone and say I'm sorry for what I said. It was especially upsetting to Melania, Ivanka, and Tiffany. I apologize to them with all my heart. My son's told me to "man up" and take responsibility. I do.
My hope since I entered this race was to help address the important issues facing EVERY American and this great nation. That will be my focus tonight."
THAT'S IT!
If a Liberal insists on bringing it up simply say. " I apologized for what I said. What problem facing all Americans can I address for you."
PIVOT TO Hillary and hammer her on her two-faced, say one thing to deceive the public and do the opposite privately. Hammer her on Open Borders. Hammer her on her lies about her emails. Hammer her on her complete failure with Russia.
If another question comes up about women. " I have apologized. Let's talk about some of the big issues that women tell me they are concerned about: A, B, and C."
FOCUS, DISCIPLINE, ISSUES, FOCUS, DISCIPLINE, FOCUS, ISSUES
Trump is 5 steps ahead of you— He knows exactly what he is doing..
Totally disagree - bad idea.
Someone gets it :)
I don’t think it’s the big deal you make it out to be.
I would bet you’ve said or done worse.
For better or for worse, this makes Donald Trump completely immune to this kind of stuff.
How ironic it would be that Bill Clinton immunized Donald Trump and allowed him to defeat his wife for the presidency some 20 years later.
He has already made a statement on it. If they raise it, then he can answer.
But drawing more attention to it with a debate-opening self-flagellation will only make it worse.
TOTALLY AGREE 1000 percent!!!!
his apology statement SUCKED!!!
Independent women will determine this election.
Let’s not be stubborn fools!!!!
OF COURSE he has to address this.
grabbing at their ####y??!?!?!!?!?
Yeah, everyone’s gonna forget by tomorrow /s
...Increase his bust!
imho, sounds like a good approach and way to place focus on Hillary’s statements and actions. Sadly, the media will stay on this to try to finally knock him out.
This is going to legitimately put Clinton’s escapades on the table. If Trump said crude and stupid things while bragging to the guys on the golf course 21 years ago and it’s game, then Billy’s victims need to be marched out. They need to give an account of what was actually DONE to them, and what Mrs. Slick did to silence them.
Ridiculous, tempest in a teapot. Trump already addressed this trivia. He should pivot to the issues and to Hillary’s flaws.
I agree that he should do this, but not the way you describe it — only if a question about is raised. He should treat it like old news and move on.
Trump doesn’t have to worry about getting it out in the open early. I suspect this topic will be question #1 asked by a woman.
RNC meeting now to get him off the ticket.
By the time of Sunday’s debate, all of this will be out of the news and forgotten about by the vast majority of Americans.
Trump simply need to proceed with his campaign, build upon his message from the first debate and continue to be poised and show once again why he should be elected Commander in Chief.
You should listen to “girl talk” sometime. THAT makes anything Trump said seem like kindergarten banter.
Yes, remember the democrats said it was just sex. Didn’t mean he couldn’t govern the country. And, character doesn’t matter.
I think this one finishes him off.
As October surprises go, this one was devastating.
Can’t believe no Republicans were able to pull it out during the primaries.
HILLARY’S shocked, but look at who BILL put in his administration...Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders
and if I remember correctly, wasn’t there a condom Christmas tree in the White House somewhere?
