So do people really think using the N-word is worse than sexually assaulting women, or are they just assuming that Trump would think it's worse to use the N-word than admit to sexual assault on tape, or what? Why would using the N-word be the breaking point for anyone?? It wouldn't come close to being the worst thing he's said or done. Not. Even. Close. Don't forget about the little children in cages. I find the very idea of him actually resigning over such a thing rather nonsensical, all things considered.

agree 100%. not sure why people think this is a bigger deal than all the other stuff you mentioned. it's not even in the same universe as grabbing a woman by the vagina against her will. that's beyond nonsensical to me.

No chance he quits. His base would eat this up. It would be another full round of haha laugh at the upset liberals and look at the media going after poor trump unfairly.

I agree. He’s already done a lot of crazy shit, yet he still sits in the Oval Office. How?? Fuck if I know.
Hypothetically speaking, IF plus another IF, then.....AMT intelligentsia!

No
No because he would claim it was misunderstood what he said. He would say, "I was talking about bigger. You know, like billions and billions and billlllliions biiiiilllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiions!!!

Absolutely quits. There is no one (i.e. Sanders, Pence, Conway, etc.) that could possibly defend such a thing. He would be forced to resign without a doubt.

Nobody can force him to resign, that's kind of my point. He just wouldn't do it. I also 100% believe that at least Sanders would indeed defend him, and I think Pence has also completely fallen off the deep end when it comes to his perceived loyalty to Trump, so he might at best refuse to address the matter at all. He'd just keep doing and saying what he's doing, which is basically nothing. And there are others in Trump's administration who fucking love the N-word, so they certainly wouldn't be trying to force him to resign, even if they could, which they can't.

I found it VERY interesting that when Sanders was asked if she could guarantee there was no such tape, she said "i can't guarantee anything". tha'ts unusual for her not to be totally absolutely "THIS IS FAKE NEWS" or some type of deflection. that tells me she knows something, or believes there might be something and doesn't want to be caught later on in a lie.
either way, @Gern Blansten, why do you think saying the N word is worse than admitting to sexual assault, at least in the eyes of the public and the eyes of his political peers?

It's just that the N-word is a known line. The line in the sand is clear on that, and unfortunately the line in the sand on sexual abuse is not nearly as clear here in America. They won't be able to "locker room talk" the N-word away.
Sadly, it won't even change his approval rating, let alone make him resign.
I used to hope he'd let one slip. Now? I just think it would work toward bringing us further down the path we're on. The 45% would love it and defend it in the same ways they defend everything else. The rest would scream in echo chambers or be ambivalent. Ultimately it would be that the President is able to use that word and still be re-elected.

The crime of using the N-word might not be worse than all the other stuff but as rgambs points out, that's the one word that is truly taboo. There's a clear line. You can get away with being pretty racist; just don't use that term. The other thing is the phrase "and a tape exists." As cynical as I am about Trump's popularity, if an assault was on tape, that would hurt him pretty badly.

His supporters don’t give a fuck if he said the N word or anything defamatory towards any race , screw all the racist assholes in this country I’d rather have no friends at all than keep relationships with any Baffoon supporters screw them all , I’d rather be with an animal !
