Current rabble poll
What is the most surprising thing to come out of the allegations that Donald Trump gropes women?
The rubber appears to have hit the road/giant tire fire in the U.S. presidential campaign. After a leaked 2005 tape showed Donald Trump boasting of assaulting women, a dozen women (so far) have come forward alleging that Donald Trump did to them exactly what he bragged he did to women. Outraged at being quoted correctly, Trump threatened to sue the New York Times -- who promptly responded, "Bring it."
What a time to be alive.
It's left us Canadian progressives a bit at sea, to be honest. We don't know whether to address Trump's factless drive-bys on the Canadian health-care system or just be grateful for a passing moment that we don't need to vote in this election. Besides, when it comes to high-profile sexual assault cases involving skeezy celebrities, we Canadians have been through it all before.
But hey, maybe we can learn something new after all. So: what's the most surprising thing to come out of Donald Trump's groping allegations/taped confession?
