Talking about his daughter like she's a piece of meat is distasteful, too. But, that was before he ran for president. I realize we live in a puritanical society, but, I also think it's sorry that people care more about his sexual activities and views than the things he's said and and done as far as race and discrimination is concerned.
If he was only a sex freak, I would not care. But, he goes way beyond that, and that's what's disturbing.
My guess for why many people are still sticking with Trump is because they are desperately riding his coattails. They also want desperately to get back into the White House so they can reinforce their very right-wing, christian conservative agenda on the country. They have a golden opportunity to get a Supreme Court justice in who will want to overturn Roe vs. Wade [[abortion rights). That is the ultimate goal, among allowing Wall Street to do anything it wants, giving the wealthy humongus tax breaks, forcing christianity into all facets of life, putting women back into second-class status, and, yes, maintaining a White majority in this country. They want to put Blacks back "in their place", send Mexicans and Muslims out of the country. Donald Trump is their only way there. This is the "change" Trump supporters want. Not even Ronald Reagan or Barry Goldwater would go this far!
If Clinton wins, their decade-long strategy of, and dream of, total GOP/conservative dominance over America will be over, especially as Democrats are in a good place to flip the Senate. At first, a President Bill Clinton just got in the way. They turned the tide with W. Bush, but Obama was seen as a real setback to their goals. Now, it's all out war with Trump, and it's backfiring. I'm seriously worried how these Trump supporters, whom are much more hostile and violent than mere tea-baggers were, and include white nationalists, and the police force, will react when Hillary wins.
To be certain, there are legions of young people ready to take their place, but the drive to change some things will be gone. LGBT will eventually attain the same protections as minorities with the younger generation coming up.
