Remember this, in talking about Trump ,and his groping, stories have been varified by others.

Last edited Fri Oct 14, 2016, 03:34 PM - Edit history (1)

So, in the new story, Kristin Anderson says she was groped by Trump. But before the story became published, they got the story verified by others. It is the same for the NY Times stories. Verified by several others that these experiences happened and that the victim told other people years ago. These stories couldn't have been made up..if the verification process is complete..

So, the verification is real, if anyone looks at the complete stories. These stories would not have made it to publication if there were not many or several other sources for the same story. That is, in Kristin Anderson's case, she told others about Trump's groping at about the time that groping happened and those others, did indeed verify that Kristin did tell them years ago.

The Atlantic, NY Times and other major sources know how to check to see if stories are, "made up." That is what reporters do. So, the likelihood that these are, "made up" ..as Trump says... is nil almost not possible...

If someone repeats this, in support of Trump..then tell them about verification, and ask them to read the whole story to see the truth...Now some don't care what he did, but some will indeed turn away and not vote for him or not vote at all..This does make people puke..

here is a link to the original story at the Washington Post:

1. Also remember that Trump is a serial LIAR. So why would anyone give him the benefit of the doubt?

understand what the Washington Post, and NY Times did to verify the stories...then...some will indeed believe, even if they had not believed the truth before. Yes, I believe that as these groping stories get around, more and more undecided people will not vote, or vote for Hillary or one of the others...

By now, we are talking about people who really are Republicans or leaning that way..By now those are the only undecided people left. They need to be convinced this is not some media conspiracy, but the truth..The verifications prove that this is the truth. Most people are decent, and many just don't want to believe their boy Trump is who he is..He is the chosen leader of the Republican Party..not some groper ..But..more and more will come forward, and guess what........He is a groper....big time, and these stories prove it... and if enough and there will be more women coming forward,... then..most people will believe he is someone who would sexually assault others, women who he did not know or just met.

I watched the Bill Cosby story...little by little the stories were verified, over and over, and people THEN BELIEVED..BUT slowly, very slowly......That is now happening quickly and is having the same effect. People are listening and believing ...Why???? Well as just stated, it ain't the first time... famous men have done this before,..and it won't be the last time...

Here is a new one...posted above at 2:01...4 minutes ago...posted by spanone It is being reported by MSNBC..

Trump actually could be sued for libel if he slanders some of these women badly enough, since they have corroboration
