I’m sorry but this is ahistorical. In fact when the Access Hollywood tape emerged, it was huge news. Republicans, including Speaker Paul Ryan, distanced themselves. Some unendorsed. Reince Priebus, the RNC chair, suggested Trump drop from the race.https://twitter.com/LauraChapin/status/1142135764966240257 …

You really believe it would have affected his standing among his supporters?

It only needed to affect 70,000 in three states.

"They stayed silent" ignores the legal jeopardy they faced due to Trump's decades-long practice of hiding his scandals with NDAs. Bannon said Kasowitz dealt with a 100 women during the campaign. Why would they've been listened to when 24 public accusers were ignored and derided?
-
The press failed to take Trump's history of abuse seriously. How many stories covered the '16 lawsuit accusing Trump of raping a 13-yr old at a Jeffrey Epstein's party? How many stories referenced that lawsuit when new stories surfaced this year about Epstein abusing girls?

Reinvent America as a place that believes women and then we can have a conversation about the consequences of their decisions.

Oh aren't you fellers precious, acting like Daniels and McDougal were the only ones with stories, and the Access Hollywood tape revealed new behavior. Yes, the hush money payment matters, but
@laurachapin is absolutely right - we'd been hearing since at least May 2016... -
about his misogyny and possible pathology; I refer you to the NYT's own "Crossing The Line" as example. But the stories were all but buried in the avalanche of front page stories and headlines about Her Fcking Emails, led by the NYT itself. So save your gaslighting - we remember.

I've long since despaired of seeing any kind of self-reflection about the massive media failures of 2016 (which continue today, and yes some few individuals have spoken on this) but I'll be doggoned if I can tolerate hearing someone arguing Everything Was Fine. smdh

@GOP only a BFD if POTUS gets a BJ in the Oval. No deal if man leaves 3rd wife +baby home to go out +hook up with a porn star. Then a decade later pay that star off to defraud Americans
win @WhiteHouse with an assist from the Russian military hack attacking US. - 1 more reply

"Trump may never have regained his footing" - And we may never have experienced a day like today. Or last 2 1/2 years, for that matter.

Given the conversations I’ve had with men here on Twitter and elsewhere the last few months...I doubt it would have mattered. Too many men think women who have been assaulted are either overreacting or lying. It’s beyond disheartening.

I don't believe that is correct, his followers don't care....the deal with Billy Bush had happened....they knew who he was....they don't care. Anything goes with Trump supporters.

I think every woman who was physically assaulted or raped should show up at their local PD to file a report against all of their perpetrators

Everyone stayed silent. Everyone who knew his secrets, his crimes and about his assaults ....stayed silent. They must be so proud of themselves today. The big cover up got us to where we are today.
