Yep, he would be forced to address it. I kept hoping the tapes were going to come out in 2016. Garrett78 Aug 2018 #6

Sadly, we just aren't the country that I once thought we were.

It would further motivate our voters, dominate the news cycle through the election, and perhaps move some fence sitters. Knowing someone used the N-word and actually hearing that person using the N-word are two different things.

We've got to find a way to start consistently out-voting these hateful people.

He'd be forced to answer questions from the media such as, "What do you have to say to people who are saying you aren't fit to lead and that you should resign?"

It would probably motivate his base, but it would boost our turnout more. It seems, though, that Trump has full control over those tapes and I'm not holding my breath. My hopes were dashed in 2016.
