    Now that the legal system has confirmed him as a sex pest, I wonder will it cost him any votes with the evangelicals.
    Of course not…. See my comment above about the different set of rules. 
    Have evangelicals ever truly been against sexual assault? Biblical themes have long been used as a rationale for rape culture. If anything this will harden the persona on how women are not to be believed and how we need to get back to the good old days when they knew their place.

    Ouch!  This is way over-generalizing.  I'm no evangelical, but I know people who are and it would be absurd to label them as being OK with sexual assault.  We really should be more careful here about generalizing.  This is sort of like JB's concern than some folk here are label all Republican as "evil" which, of course, is not at all true.

    As for getting back "to the good old days when they knew their place", there are always going to be some backwards and ignorant people who think this way, but no way do I see that happening.  For many years, women have gradually made big strides in becoming liberated, independent, and made gains in equal rights (and I fully support that).  We not 100% there yet by any means (especially in some parts of the country) but overall, we have moved well in that precondition.  The number of women in high positions both in government and in industry today compared to 50 years ago is astounding.  Please do not disparage those gains by making inaccurate claims of going back that far in history.  It's simply not going to happen.

    How's this: Are evangelicals any more put off by sexual assaults than any other group? That's more than fair.

    "fortunately or unfortunately" was one of the absolute worst things he could have said in that depo. I couldn't believe it. I mean, I knew he was fucking dumb. But that was REALLY fucking dumb. 
    yeah wtf lol. that was such an epic way to blow that deposition. like almost painfully stupid, haha.

    my buddy is an attorney and he said any time you get deposed you should only say 3 things: "yes", "no", or "I don't know".

    CNN and/or Kaitlan Collins MAY light this fucker up.  He's been a real fucking asshole to her, and that entire network, since the days of wayback.  He did NO sit down interviews or town halls exclusively on CNN for his entire so-called presidency. No Chris Cuomo, no Don Lemon, no Anderson Cooper, no Wolf Blitzer, and no Erin Burnett.

    I hope she abso-fucking-lutely torches that POS and he's left a babbling shell of himself.  Fucker.

    i hope so too, but with the new ceo and cnn's recent right turn, i just do not see it. 

    you don't spent 7 years calling an entire network "fake news" and then suddenly get a free handy from that network. at least in a just world anyway.

    she used to work at the daily caller. don't count on it. 

    he's going on as he knows he needs to. 

    but it wouldn't surprise me if he agreed to go on with certain "this topic is off limits" agreement

    Any credible news org would not agree to off limit topics, unless it was about his family or something with no public interest.

    I don't even get CNN (or Fox News). I haven't for years now..... And somehow I know so much about both, lol. There is literally news about the news for me to consume.
