Trump Tape Threatens GOP Plan to Retain Control of Congress
One lewd tape of Donald Trump bragging 11 years ago about assaulting women and getting away with it has upended a year of carefully laid Republican strategy to keep control of Congress.
More Trump tapes to come?
(Paul Mirengoff) Someone called Bill Pruitt has tweeted the following: As a producer on seasons 1 & 2 of #theapprentice I assure you: when it comes to the #trumptapes there are far worse. #justthebegininng Pruitt may be exaggerating, but who doubts that there are other bad Trump tapes out there and available for release? I don't, and I suspect that Team Clinton is controlling the timing of the release or at least

Many people whose judgment I admire–Andy McCarthy, John Thune and Hugh Hewitt, to name just three–have called on Trump to step down. Are they right?
