When the top of the ticket spews hate in every direction, I think this is the kind of thing we are going to be seeing more of for awhile. I'm hoping our country can come out stronger in the long term, but in the short term I think it's just going to be ugly. I'm really not looking forward to the wave of misogyny I see coming over the next several years.

Marcel Pariseau, a partner at True Public Relations, who has a number of high-profile female clients, including Scarlett Johansson, wrote on Facebook: "He was rude and lewd to a few female clients of mine. Boycotting the 9 a.m. hour of the Today show." So it's not like he was just going along with Trump he has his own history. Wow.

I have no idea what MAGA stands for.

Money. It would be hugely expensive and they don't want to pay for it.

Yes, Kathy is there and I do feel bad for her.

Exactly. Max Fisher (Times reporter) just said he's hiding behind his couch. The vicarious embarrassment is off the charts. I'm not sure I can watch much of this. Well that's a new one. Oh, I see Kathy Shelton. Hillary represented the man accused of raping her when she was 12. Hillary is on tape laughing when she says something like "Well I'll never believe in polygraphs again". Meaning Hillary believed he was guilty. Hillary was appointed the case, I don't see what choice she had, but to take it. That's how our justice system works after all. She was not laughing about getting him off.

Interesting since when Howard Stern asked if Trump had an age limit he said "No. Well, I guess I don't want to be going after 12 year olds". Leaving me to wonder if 13 year olds were on the table.

So Erin Barnett (sp) on CNN just said she had a friend who Trump gave a Tic Tac and then kissed against her will. She didn't want to give the woman's name. I knew it was more than just talk, creepy bastard.

Why would you think he was only bragging about assaulting white women? He's on record bragging about his bed being a "rainbow coalition". I'm sure many different races of women were treated to his unwanted kissing and groping. With any luck, some of them will come forward this week, although as we've heard he has his employees under confidentiality agreements.

I wonder if this is going to be similar to Bill Cosby where more women start to come forward with accounts of unwanted kissing and groping. There's already one, so I bet there will be more.

I definitely feel like Trump's campaign is effectively over. So many Republicans are coming out and disavowing him, it's a joy to watch. Now his movement (God help us) is probably not over, I give you that Carl. It's enough for me that he's not going to be President of our country this year or any other.

Same. The full version of the video with them ogling her makes it so much worse. When Billy tried to force her to say which one of them she'd date, I felt really bad for her. She tried to plead the 5th, I bet she wanted to scream "Neither of you!" Then she was diplomatic and said both, but you could just feel how uncomfortable she must have been. So awful. And yes, God bless Ana for holding people's feet to the fire on this.

When Trump and Billy go in for that hug from Ari, it's just horrifying. I feel like I'm watching someone be molested and I can't stop it.

Same. I see people saying he's going to be in great position for 2020. I don't believe it though. I choose to believe this election is the last gasp of this type of candidate.

I certainly see him as a want to be dictator. I feel bad for his youngest son that this video came out, but happy for the rest of us. Please let this be the end of him.

He's not exactly breaking any news with this, so I don't think it will hurt her. I also see Hillary as extraordinarily ambitious. She wouldn't be where is if she weren't. I don't see anything wrong with that. I'll also agree that she's not going to transform anything, but with Trump running, the status quo never looked so good. As for Bill, well, if he couldn't control his impulses when he was literally in the oval office, there is no reason to think he's doing so now. Again, I don't much care under the circumstances. I expect HRC to play blocker against the republicans, more than I expect her to actually get a lot of her own agenda accomplished. If scandal comes along that shouldn't stop her from blocking the way it derailed Bill Clinton's time in office. At least, that's my hope.

And yet they are trying to sell this guy as the sane one. Honestly, this is so offensive and completely f*cked up. As if the government has any right to tell women who have had miscarriages how to grieve or women that have had abortions that they have to jump through these hoops. It's just sick.

My understanding is it's supposed to be by income, since she doesn't have any right now she should be able to get something cheaper than that. Has she looked into Medicaid? Well, she has her $30,000. Her husband is the one who lost his job and it was his job that came with insurance. I'll ask her about Medicaid. She lives in upstate NY, so I'm not sure if NY is one of the states that expanded Medicaid. I have to believe that once she has a chance to really dig deeper she'll find something at least a bit cheaper. Late Shana Tova Q. Totally agree about the timing and the way he said it. Damn. Why not just wait until she's elected and then start trying to push congress to do something?

I find it frustrating that instead of talking about solutions to the problems with the ACA, the conversation is about Trump's trash talk. That's this election cycle in a nut shell. I guess Bill Clinton was wrong for bringing the topic up right now the way he did, but he's right that there is a problem that needs to be fixed. My friend's husband just lost his job, so they lost medical coverage. She makes something like $30,000 and the best coverage she can find for her family of 3 is $700. I'm hoping that she's misunderstanding the amount of subsidy she's going to get, but if not she's seriously screwed.

I saw part of Hillary's speech today. You can tell she's energized by all this insane stuff with Trump.

I love Ana! Ana Navarro ‏@ananavarro 5h5 hours ago Ana Navarro Retweeted Christopher C. Cuomo Miami is abuzz . Some Cuban-Am's will still vote for him. Some will peel off b/c of his lies & hypocrisy. It's FL. Can't afford to lose 1!

I hope he and his surrogates keep doubling down on this Alicia Machado stuff. By all means keep offending women, Latinos and the overweight all in one swoop. That's like 70% of the country. I'm sorry for her pain though.

Really, he's just gross. Add to that how inarticulate he is and how clear it is that he simply is not qualified. I just have to believe that enough people are going to see through him.

I don't believe that Trump is a fast learner nor do I believe he can control his temperament, even for 90 mins when the stakes are high.

I'm so glad that first debate is over and went so well. What a relief. I did not watch the whole thing, but I read the analysis of how poorly Trump did particularly on the topic of foreign affairs.
