That's how propaganda works. Being able to imply something without saying it.

The Access Hollywood recording that also contains how he bragged that he can "grope" women.

An election is not the same as a court of law, thus we vote on whom we believe more on issues and conduct that we believe in.

What? Me worry?
I understand and agree with you (that's right, I agree with you). This is why I believe you should be very careful in weighting the alleged against the known when it comes to any candidate.

Are you serious? If there were any substance in the accusations Drive-by media would be having a feast.

I always am.
In the case of Trump, the women's accusations become very plausible based on what Trump admitted himself with his bragging about groping women, forcibly kissing women, his affairs, his committing adultery, his persistent lies, etc. Do you honestly believe he is more credible then they? Really?

can and did are two different things. Correct?

When he said "I can...", along with what else he said in that same exact recording, I would say it's pretty much a done deal. Either way, why would anyone who is trying to evaluate these things fairly believe him over them? How many immoral things does Trump have to say and do before even the "blind" can see?

But, again, there is no one with any credibility accusing Trump of harassment let alone sexual assault.

Again what has he "did". Not what he "said".
I call that locker room bravado and uncouth.
We should all recognize that there's a vast continuum between the extremes....
The worst: Bill Clinton raping Kathleen Willey.
The least: Bill O'Neill bragging about bedding 50 women.
The handling of each should be on a case by case basis.
If conservatives had heard the access Hollywood tapes and it was coming out of Biden's mouth, they would have taken it as a confession of prior behavior instead of going with option 2: it's just locker room talk guys. Which is one of the sleaziest things I've seen come out of this election cycle, guys brag about sexually assaulting women it's just how guys work. Give me a break.
So my answer is probably when the conservative party acknowledges that their pick has admitted to sexual misconduct.

Sure, if they are serious.

So how do you weigh million dollar payoffs on your believability meter?

I think, for them, the problem is they don't see it as one instance from one guy, but a continuance of the behavior they deal with all the time from a variety of men. Thus they view it as harassment.

So are you saying these women would do anything for enough money? Or is it the news media that have become prostitutes?
No doubt.
But in judging the perp, we must look solely at the perp's acts.
In Franken's case, it seems now more serious than the one military gal....

False equivalence comparing Franken to Roy Moore.
Fool!
Fiddlediddler!
I made no comparison there.
I've even pointed out how Moore is worse.
Is there any leftish person who understands what "false equivalence" means?
Just a vapid battle cry, eh.
