What I am hearing in Louisiana from women is vote for Trump; the issues in this election are more important than anything that Trump could have ever done. That is what I have heard them say.

Many GOP women in Louisiana unfazed by Trump comments

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's recently revealed comments about women may have started a firestorm of controversy elsewhere.
But here in Acadiana, many Republican women are unfazed by the brash businessman's admissions that he tried to have sex with a married woman and that, as a celebrity, he could get away with groping females by their private parts.
Trump's statements revealed on tape in 2005 outraged people, including many Republicans. Some local Republicans however, said not only have they heard much worse, but when it comes to character and trustworthiness, they believe Trump is nowhere near as dangerous to the country as Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
"There is a double standard here," said Donna Peltier, past president of the Acadiana Republican Women. "I'm not offended. The same women who say they are offended are the very ones who went out and bought 800,000 copies of '50 Shades of Grey', which is total trash. If they put what Trump had to say to a rap song, it would sell like gangbusters. Everybody would be out buying it. I'm more offended by the double standard."
While many Republican leaders were reportedly abandoning the party's standard bearer, local support remained steady. Some Republican women were as convinced as ever that he would be a strong president, even though they disagreed with his comments.

"I won't defend or condone what Trump said," added Carol Ross, a former Republican candidate for the Lafayette City-Parish Council. "But we have a First Amendment and that exactly what the First Amendment is for. It's not for pretty speech or speech we agree with, it's for all speech. And, whether we like it or not, it's pervasive in our culture. There is a lot of hypocrisy to go around.
"Donald Trump hasn't said anything that hasn't been said in a locker room. When I look at the alternative, at least have a shot at cleaning out Washington. And, we don't have that shot with Hillary Clinton."
Patti Carter was a Trump delegate at the Republican convention. Carter defended Trump's comments, which included a recorded conversation with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush. In the recording, Trump is heard discussing how he "moved in on a married woman like a b****," but "couldn't get there."
Carter said the fact that the incident took place 11 years ago made a difference to her.
"They are trying to judge the man just by one segment of his personality," Carter said. "At that time, he wasn't grooming himself to be president. He was just a normal man in the community like our husbands, our brothers are, this is nothing we haven't heard from any of them. Women sometimes say things worse than that. But that's not his focus. His focus is the United States. He really, truly is a patriot."

In fact, it has been widely reported that Trump considered a run for president as far back as the late 1980s. Trump formed a presidential campaign in 2000 for the nomination of the Reform Party and announced the creation of a presidential exploratory committee on Larry King Live in 1999. That segment can be seen on You Tube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peBa3SU46Qs. He previously considered a presidential run in 1988 as a Republican but chose not to run.
Others found a bit of humor in the situation, pointing out that most of the strongest public reaction had come from Republican men and not women themselves.
"As a woman, I just want to make sure to thank the mainstream media for letting me know what every 'important' white male over 50 had to say about this," said Denice Skinner, Republican Party Executive Committee representative, "and gave them the platform to explain to me how I should feel about male trash talk all weekend long."

I know it's been said already by plenty of other men, but NO, WE'RE NOT ALL LIKE THIS SCUMBAG.

Maybe it's different in Louisiana, but I and most men I know NEVER act like this or talk like this, no matter where we are or who we're talking to.

[Joe Guy]

I once knew a guy who talked like that. He's the same guy who said he didn't put an ad in the newspaper when his dog got lost because he said his dog couldn't read.

[Econoline]

Actually, the women quoted in that article are being quite insulting to most men.

[Econoline]

Taking down the image, but leaving this link so that the subsequent comments don't appear nonsensical. What can I say? I found it both offensive *AND* funny ...but that's just the way my sense of humor rolls. Sorry.

[Guinevere]

Ugh, Econo.

Yes, we know its not most men, as MO said.

No, that post above isn't funny, or even ironic.

[Lord Jim]

It's actually complete bullshit, as it seems to imply that most Republicans approve of (or engage in) sexual assaults on women...

It's the kind of garbage I would expect rube to post...

[Lord Jim]

Most men regardless of party affiliation find this sort of behavior abhorrent, and neither party has a monopoly on those who engage in it:

Bob Filner was sentenced Monday to three months of home confinement and three years of probation for harassing women while he was mayor of San Diego, completing the fall of the former 10-term congressman who barely a year ago achieved his long dream of being elected leader of the nation’s eighth-largest city.

Filner, who resigned amid widespread allegations of sexual harassment, pleaded guilty in October to one felony and two misdemeanors for placing a woman in a headlock, kissing another woman and grabbing the buttocks of a third.

Superior Court Judge Robert Trentacosta’s sentence was the same as what prosecutors recommended in a plea agreement with Filner. The 71-year-old former mayor faced a maximum penalty of three years in prison for the felony and one year in jail for each misdemeanor.

The judge specified the Filner may not seek or hold elective office during the term of his probation.

Filner, who is divorced, was convicted of felony false imprisonment for restraining a woman against her will at a fund-raiser on March 6 and applying additional force when she resisted. His attorney, Jerry Coughlan, has said it was a headlock.

The misdemeanor counts of battery were for kissing a woman on the lips without permission at a “Meet the Mayor” event on April 6 and grabbing another woman’s buttocks at a May 25 rally to clean up Fiesta Island in Mission Bay. None of the victims have been identified.

Nearly 20 women have publicly identified themselves as targets of Filner’s unwanted advances, including kissing, groping and requests for dates. His accusers include a retired Navy rear admiral, a San Diego State University dean and a great-grandmother who volunteers answering senior citizens’ questions at City Hall.

I think Econoline has proven himself to be a standup guy and he should be allowed to have a sudden lapse of rubatoism once in a while.

Of course, I'd never do something like that but generally speaking I'm unique.

[Econoline]

Not just unique but very unique. (You might even be the most unique person on the internet.)

[rubato]

Most of the GOP still endorse Trump for President so in fact most of the GOP do excuse this kind of thing.

Most GOP senators, most GOP congressmen/women. Most GOP voters.



yrs,
rubato

[Lord Jim]

Yeah, and the fact that I've endorsed Hillary Clinton means that I "excuse" storing classified material on an unauthorized private server and lying about it repeatedly to the American people...

[Bicycle Bill]

Most of the GOP still endorse Trump for President so in fact most of the GOP do excuse this kind of thing.

Most GOP senators, most GOP congressmen/women. Most GOP voters.

They may not excuse it, but they will minimize it, gloss it over, or sweep it under the rug.

Apple, tree. Is there really any serious doubt about the culture in TrumpWorld?

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of the Republican presidential nominee, in a 2013 radio interview dismissed sexual harassment as a byproduct of the modern workplace, according to BuzzFeed News.

“I’m of that mindset . . . if you can’t handle some of the basic stuff that’s become a problem in the workforce today, then you don’t belong in the workforce,” Trump Jr., a self-described “guy’s guy,” said on “The Opie and Anthony Show” when asked if women ought to be allowed in all-male golf clubs. “Like, you should go maybe teach kindergarten. I think it’s a respectable position.”

“You can’t be negotiating billion-dollar deals if you can’t handle” sexual harassment. he added. “But listen. There’s a place where you have to draw the line but today the stuff you get in trouble for.”

Trump Jr. said women make sexual harassment allegations as part of a “get rich quick” scheme.

[Big RR]

And that reportedly ruins a business (if I am to believe what the campaign says). It's people like him in senior positions that make sexual harassment the problem it is in business today. It's not a matter of "handling it"; it's a matter of being told you have to handle it. And when that direction comes from the corner office, what can you expect.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like Junior is setting himself up for a run at the White House in 2020.



TRUMP / TRUMP... 2020.

Most of the men I know especially in my family have great respect for women, it is yes mam and no mam. And if one grabbed a woman by the crotch here one would run the risk of getting shot. Many of the young women I know carry little guns.

People here don’t approve of such disrespect, but the issues are considered so important that they greatly out weigh everything else.
