The guy that Wilson said to watch just tweeted.
@TheRickWilson:
I'll say it for the 10th time:
1. Media has the two story leads.
2. Neither was the story from yesterday.
3. I don't control timing.
@coalsmom: @TheRickWilson READ https://twitter.com/noclador/status/794140936754368512
@TheRickWilson: @coalsmom I'm aware.
@noclador: Tomorrow it will be 4 days to the #USElection = two BRUTAL revelations about @realDonaldTrump will come out. After which: exile or prison.
Then there is this.
@TrueFactsStated: 1. Many of you have heard of a bombshell coming out about Trump. A source who I know & trust has informed me of TWO such bombshells.
@TrueFactsStated: 2. My understanding is that the media knows about both of these and has been seeking to corroborate them before going with the story.
@TrueFactsStated: 3. The first bombshell is that US and British Intel have a video of Trump with two prostitutes. Both US and British media have this story.
@TrueFactsStated: 4. The second allegation is that Trump has paid for up to a dozen abortions for various women.

(59,503 posts)She claimed that his stronger than any previous nominee's prolife position was one of his strongest positions. When it was pointed out that he once was pro choice, she coyly responded that he changed .. and in the right direction.
Remember the whole prodigal son meme with GWB. This just amps up the contrast between the wicked Trump ... and the current Trump who found salvation and is 100% against abortion. Same with the prostitutes - unless it was within the last few years - it won't count.
Now, if either of these (or variations) were found on a Democratic male candidate -- they would have enormous problems.

(459 posts)yeah, i seriously doubt it's THAT big of bombshell, if there's even one at all.
even if a story does come out that damages him, i expect it will quickly be blunted by the fbi/wikileaks/putin or some other dark actor stepping up at the last minute to try and swing things his way. these fascists aren't going to go away that easily and they aren't going to stop trying to get trump elected, that's why we need to continue to GOTV as early and often as we can.

(144 posts)However, it's best not to count on octobre suprises, bombshells or silver bullets.
Hillary has run a campaign on her own strengths, and she has a strong ground campaign. If a bombshell comes out, all the better, but she does not really need it.
Garrett78
(10,721 posts)For one thing, a landslide for Clinton is good for the Senate and House races. It's also good for the post-election narrative. Secondly, I think it would help temper the potential post-election chaos.
musicblind
(4,484 posts)And the Senate is extremely important, it is make or break for the Supreme Court. Plus, every house seat we can get is one less weapon that can be used against a Clinton presidency.
I am personally devastated about the Senate right now. I didn't just want to win that, I wanted at least 55 seats. I wanted to get rid of Burr, my Senator, and replace him with the outstanding Ross.
Anything can help us. I'll take ANYTHING at this point if it means more Senate and House seats.
Plus, my anti-LGBT governor is only down 1 point... that is too close for comfort.

There has been a story going around on twitter (not from this particular source) that Trump was "compromised" by Russia on a trip to Russia, and it involved an orgy... also a mention of some "nasty details" that the author did not repeat
Some of the replies have hinted that the prostitutes were perhaps underage.

(81,267 posts)Wouldn't surprise me. Especially the one about Trump being "compromised" by Russia on a trip with some nasty stuff going on, of which you can bet they had a room full of spies involved and a boatload of photos and audio tape. I doubt anyone could have foreseen that he'd be in this position now, but seems to me they'd want an advantage with a big-talking, blustering American they'd already sussed out for his weaknesses. That's why Putin has already played him like a violin.
I suspect they felt they could use him for something later. The whole "useful idiot" thing. And he sure fits the bill.

(13,424 posts)See David Vitter for an example.
These items, if reported, might move the race a point or two, but won't have much of an effect. People aghast by his morality were already against him. Religious leaders have already given him a pass for sexual assault and adultery so these items won't change their minds.

(13,305 posts)As I stated upthread, if they actually cared about abortions they wouldn't be so enthusiastically supporting a guy who until recently was vocally pro-choice. They'll say they care but it's more important that they get someone who hates minorities, women, and Democrats than it is someone who is pro-life.

Plus, for most people, the U.S.S.R. of the 1980s and today's Russia are not equivalent, if only because one was Communist (i.e. eeeeeeeeeevil) and the other isn't.
Mime-Is-Money
(34 posts)and if it does, it's most likely too late in the game to impact the race. The crap from the FBI is just now making an impact on polls after 6 days of overexposure by the media.
Let's focus on the ridiculously awful things that we do know about the guy that will lead to his defeat :
1) Drumpf bragged about gross sexual advances where he grabs women by the crotch
2) Drumpf mocked a reporter with a disability
3) Drumpf publicly berates women by calling them slobs, pigs, flat, fat, Miss Housekeeping, etc, etc, etc.
4) Drumpf thinks he's welcome in female dressing rooms even if the occupants are underage
5) Drumpf on numerous occasions called Latinos rapists, criminals, killers, etc. and believe he supports Latinos by posing with taco bowls
6) Drumpf is continuously called out for discriminating against minorities and is the overwhelming choice for white supremacists
7) Drumpf has actively campaigned to block immigrants of a particular religion that make up a quarter of the globe's population
8) Drumpf encourages gun owners to take matters in their own hands if his opponent is elected
and on, and on, and on. This is just off the top of my head.
We have plenty of ammo to expose and embarrass the fraud, let's stop wasting time on and falling for unsubstantiated internet gossip

(9,670 posts)They do not react to scalding allegations. They do not have a conscience. They do not apply the same standards, or any standards, to their candidate. They exist for one sole purpose: to defeat the other guy, the other girl, the other party, the opposition.
No matter what Trump did, does or will do: it doesn't matter.
And you know what? It DOESN'T matter. Hillary's got this. GOTV.
calimary
(81,267 posts)I hope so. But with this guy, it wouldn't surprise me at all. He certainly strikes me as the kind of man who would NEVER "lower himself" to provide "protection" during sex. So I'd bet there were at least a few abortions in there somewhere.

(8,699 posts)I truly, deeply, hope it does matter but I think with literally just a couple days left and the vast majority of voters are in scandal/outrage overload that it just will not get looked at enough voters and little to no media time (see racketeering case THIS MONTH that gets zero air time).
It's sad and incredibly frustrating but trump just doesn't care and has no need to reply or answer to anything he says or does. Ever. No matter what it is. Why? Within a couple hours the 24/7 news cycle has to move on to the new scandal of the hour, real or perceived, or else risk losing the idiotocracy viewership with the attention span of a goldfish.
I know it's jaded but I don't think it's far from true and this election has proven me right so far.

Two days before FBI director James Comey rocked the world last week, Rudy Giuliani was on Fox, where he volunteered, un-prodded by any question: I think hes [Donald Trump] got a surprise or two that youre going to hear about in the next few days. I mean, Im talking about some pretty big surprises.

Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)They just want him to outlaw prostitution and abortion when he's President.
Character only matters when it's a Democrat being scrutinized.
GopherGal
(2,008 posts)Trump's "burn it all down" contingent will probably just be impressed by prostitute videos starring their alpha-male hero.
And a certain part of the so-called religious right would (quite possibly literally) vote for the Devil himself if he promised to appoint justices who'd overturn Roe v Wade.
But some of those suburban anti-choice women currently intending to hold their noses and mark "Trump" even though they wouldn't let their daughters within a mile of him might have their enthusiasm dampened a little by such revelations.
And these should be sensational enough to crowd out the Huma's emails stories in the press.
