Personally, I’m of the opinion that those who go all witch-hunty over a word, any word need to be(insert horrible punishment visuals here).
As Scott Adams pointed out, it would be the most valuable tape in the world.
Makes one thing it is totally mythical.

Also, a cardinal rule of scientific investigation is to be doubly skeptical if a piece of information is consistent with what you WANT to be true. The first rule is “don’t fool yourself, and realize you are the easiest person to fool.”
The Trump haters excitement over something like this would be insane if it were real. Which is why rumors persist among the people who would like to take down Trump. It’s like a Holy Grail, something they’d dream about having.
It’s easy for a rumor like this to start.
Trump is often crass and ill-mannered compared to past candidates. “Hey, we all know Trump is racist. I’ll bet he uses racist terms in private. He had that TV show, right? what if there were outtakes or something of him being racist?”
What if he never used the N-word, but instead, say, made a totally harmless joke about a black contestant not needing sunblock? Something like that.
“Woudn’t it be great and totally plausible if there was a tape?” can easily morph into “I bet there is one” and then into “I know people who heard it/have it.”
But we’re stuck in friend-of-a-friend territory, and highly motivated journalists can’t find a thing. Until further notice, it’s mythical. I’ll definitely change my mind if evidence presents itself, but not before.
There is no tape. If it existed it would have been made public before the election.
Trump hired this woman. That is the only relavent fact.
The tape does not exist. All that exists is conjecture and hope for those who mistakenly believe HRC won anything but an ugly contest.
Both smears are total DNC talking point BS. Thanks Kaslin.
I know !!!! Just tell everyone it is in a link in one of Hillary’s 33000 deleted emails!! I bet those emails show up instantaneously......without the tape of course
But who cares?
That Trump insulted a black person near a decade ago? How is that news?
Trump is an equal opportunity insulter, he’s insulted whites, blacks, Asians, women, the elderly, Jews, Muslim, Christians, anybody and everybody. And not just minor insults, but deep, hurtful, mocking insults.
To zero in and give so much importance to that one insult just because the recipient was black is, well.... racist.
There I said it.
Yep - they would have put it out there to try to tip the balance in their direction - especially with all the Blacks starting to approve of Trump.....no way it exists.
