There should be no competition at all between these two. And if it weren’t for the complete fucking idiots that live here, it would be a landslide victory for common sense.
A morally bankrupt 34 times over felon/sex offender vs a provenly educated and effective woman with a clean track record and a good history of being on the right side of issues….
This shit be a no-brainer.
That we’re even here is NOT a good thing.
I prefer “convicted rapist” over “sex offender”.
I may be wrong, but I think he's an "adjudicated rapist" because it was a civil matter. Correct me if I'm wrong though, because I'm just parroting something that I've heard.
Let's just say rapist and move on. Mr. 'Grab 'em by the Pussy' doesn't deserve any precision language.
Thank you!
I don’t care if in legalese it is considered “wrong” to call a rapist a rapist.
Donald J. Trump is a pedophilic rapist and a rapist.
A spade is a fucking spade.
The only reason they couldn't call him a rapist in the E. Jean Carroll case is because she was unable to say with 100% certainty that she was penetrated by his penis which is the definitions under NY law, it could have been his finger.
"Judge Kaplan clarified that the jury had found that Trump had raped Carroll according to the common definition of the word."
So I agree, he rapes people, he's a rapist.
Rapist and convicted felon, fraudulent business man and bankrupt casino owner, suspected sex trafficker, sycophant of tyrants and notorious golf cheat Donald J. Trump should have no chance in the upcoming presidential election. But because he dog whistles the right words and there are a whole lot of hateful people out there, here we are.
