The pussy tapes did not sink him because we have bigger problems to worry about. This election showed the declining relevance of the mainstream news media due to their inability to check facts and report accurately. To wit:

- The economy, while not in a depression, is nowhere near what the press is saying. When people with good jobs are living paycheck to paycheck and people aren't saving, it's not a good thing. Obama was peddling fiction

- The level of corruption exposed by Wikileaks on Hillary and the DNC discouraged democratic voters, while encouraged republican voters that otherwise probably would not have voted for trump. The media tried to cover it up, but it couldn't keep a lid on it.

- The country is more divided than it has been in my 41 years of being on this planet. Hillary represented more of the same counterproductive policies of the last 16 years.

As much stated, people just didn't care about the private crass talk being used as election fodder.

But also, who was the offended person to turn to, Billary? What moral superiority did they have on the issue? In fact, it probably made people even more cognizant of Bill's past and her role in it.

So any honest and offended person just had to look at it as a wash.

He denied it happened. Claimed it was just big talk. Just locker room talk. Didndu.

Bill's past was referenced and then the Mrs role in it was exaggerated a bit.

End of issue.

Pointing out that someone is a pervert or a creep only works if that person has tried to position themselves as some kind of arbitor of family values.
Trump never pretended to be some wholesome family-friendly guy, so those attacks didn't really hurt him all that much. Most people offended by it were the same people who were already offended by literally every breath and step he took. The people on his side didn't care.

The same way Obama's preacher didn't sink him.

Slick Willie lowered the bar long ago, along with JFK.

WTF is wrong with you you dingbat? I AM a woman. You are seeing his quote through such a myopic lens. Women WANT handsome, rich, famous men to grab them in the P. You are making it sound like I said women don't want it but will LET him do it and endure sexual harassment or rape.

That's is not what he said and not what any normal, even moderately sane person thinks it means. What it means is that for eons and eons women have DESIRED to be with/get with/fool around with/hook up with/marry famous/handsome/rich men. I guess you aren't one so you have no clue what I'm talking about. If you were one, you would have been getting laid, WITH CONSENT, easily.
