        But doesn't that go to damages, not liability? (If) false accusation of rape is libel per se (outside of Sullivan shield)

        what authority is there for suggesting the accusation is "outside Sullivan shield"?

        Sorry. I meant if it had occurred outside Sullivan to a private citizen it would be per-se. Tripped by 140 character limit

        Besides general bad reputation, this seems an extra twist: boasting of the very thing he complains they allege.

        The Times itself reported this harms him w/ voters. If he had no reputation to damage, it wouldn't affect the polls. @Profepps @AriMelberpic.twitter.com/nr5LdoYpgP

        larger point is that if a person boasts about behavior, it can't be defamatory to report that he engages in it. @MarcusEpstein @AriMelber

        Trump said this was bawdy "locker room talk." The allegations, if true, would suggest that's not the case.

        Many people accept Trump's description of his "boasts" and to if the allegations change that, it harms his reputation.
