Donald Trump vowed continue to attack Hillary Clinton over her husband's marital transgressions if more of his own past comments are made public in the final month of the campaign.

“If they want to release more tapes saying inappropriate things, we’ll continue to talk about Bill and Hillary Clinton doing inappropriate things,” Trump said Monday at a rally in Ambridge, Pennsylvania.

Or maybe he doesn't care it's a losing issue-- maybe he's just luxuriating in the pleasure of slamming Bill Clinton to his minions. (Oh, and don't forget all the publicity, which he thrives on.) Who knows what's in the mind of a madman??

Trump is jealous of Bill Clinton. Despite the former President's indiscretions, he is still a well loved individual, granted a great deal of the respect that Donald has coveted his entire life. But the high society he so desperately wants to be welcomed in to has always given him the stiff arm and he is deeply resentful of that.

Everyone's heard these attacks already. No one, outside the nuttiest of wingnuts, cares.

What we WOULD like to hear is how you plan to actually DO any of the things you say you're going to. For instance, the Ford Focus. The company that makes it plans to move its production to Mexico. You don't want this to happen and you've pledged to stop it. Can you tell us (1) how you can possibly stop it from happening without nationalizing the Ford Motor Company, and (2) WHY you would want to stop it, since the reason they're going to move the Focus to Mexico is so they can convert the factory to make Rangers and Broncos - which will sell far better than Focuses and will actually CREATE jobs in Michigan!

"“If they want to release more tapes saying inappropriate things, we’ll continue to talk about Bill and Hillary Clinton doing inappropriate things,” Trump said Monday at a rally in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. "

So now he acknowledges that he talks his "locker room" talk all the time, and admits that he lied when he said it wasn't the real Donald Trump talking...
