Have Any Of Trump's Female Accusers Said They Are Willing To Take A Lie Detector Test.....

to prove that are telling the truth? If Trump says that they are all liars - he should take a lie detector test to prove that he is not lying about these encounters.

It would be nice to believe there is a machine that could tell whether a person is lying or not, but there is no such machine.

But would Trump be willing to say under oath--under penalty of perjury--that these events never happened?

Because they have no conscience, they do not feel guilty or anxious. I would not trust the results of a lie detector test administered to The Groper.

So I doubt he would volunteer for much of anything that required a close inspection of his character, his wealth, or his charity. Frankly just listen to him talk - he reveals his character every time he opens his mouth.

This latest denial by Trump included his comment that the woman would not be his first choice for sexual assault as she wasn't pretty enough... So it's not that he wouldn't do it - he just wouldn't do it to her.

Oh he's guilty alright, and the more he talks about it the more people become convinced that it's not just "locker room" talk.

The overwhelming preponderance of evidence and testimonials has to be heavily weighed. To suggest that these VICTIMS should have to prove their innocence is simply more verbal assault.
