I don't get it. Why didn't (((they))) save the pussy tape until right before the election? It completely DEVASTATED Trump's campaign but the timing allowed him to spend the next few weeks recovering. Why were the #NeverTrumpers always so goddamn incompetent?

it was to set up the accusers

>it would have made an ounce of difference.

here your fucking (you) you leaf cunt.

Because they're old-fashioned and didn't understand the internet's effect on news cycles, aka decimating our attention spans.

Plus, since it was a Republican NeverTrump and not a Democrat, they also wanted time for TruRepublicans to distance themselves from Trump and salvage the House/Senate.

and this:

In hindsight, they should have leaked it like 4 days before the election, that way the media would still be talking about it nonstop.

That's probably right, but again in hindsight it seems like a misstep, people became numb to all the accusations and thought they were bullshit. Nothing has more power than an actual tape

They had to use it to distract from the Wikileaks coming down the line. They had Assange's timeline because the fool kept telling everyone when he was dropping his next truth bomb. I just don't think they counted on the Wiener incident to really throw their strategy for a loop and encourage people to go back and relook at the Wikileaks again.

They incorrectly assumed that it would be enough to sink his campaign, and they needed something to distract from Hillary's issues ASAP.

They also overplayed their hand. If it had just been the pussy tapes + 3 or 4 women accusing him, it might have stuck. But they couldn't help themselves and tried to pull a Bill Cosby on Trump and people saw it for what it was.

Because Trump released it. He knew they had it, so he published out from under them.

Given the poll results vs. election results, we really don't know if it lessened his actual support. It might have been the case that the people being polled were more embarrassed about answering a poll question honestly, but that might have been the extent of it.

Early voting. The timing was coordinated as soon as the video was found, and it was released right before the second debate and just before most early voting deadlines. The tapes were a big blow to him and would have absolutely crippled any other campaign.
Unfortunately (for them), Teflon Trump survived it, shrugged it off and smashed Hillary's political career

The icing on the cake is that he still won with White Women

>it was to set up the accusers

I wonder where are they now? They just faded back to wherever.

I hope he actually sues all of them.

I don't think it was ever about convincing voters. It was about distracting them and giving the media something to talk about for a few weeks that didn't involve Hillary, did you ever notice in the LATimes poll that when ever the spotlight turned back to Hillary and the voters took a good look at her that her support would plummet.

Very true of course, but, if nothing else, this election proved one simple fact. These people are REALLY out of touch with people and how they think of things. Just imagine how this would run pre-internet and realize they probably thought in those terms.

>I hope he actually sues all of them.
Even if he could win the case it would be the most retarded thing to pursue.

You didn't know? The pussy tapes were released by the Repubs, trying to shame him into stepping down so Pence could take over. It didn't work.

>It completely DEVASTATED Trump's campaign
On the contrary.
The fact that it came out shortly before the second debate gave him permission to completely annihilate Hillary when she pushed him on it.

the funny thing is that now all the never trumpers are all running to jump in his administration. what cucks, amirite?

He probably would have won Nevada, Colorado and done better in Florida without the tape.

Because they needed to leave room for the rape accusations.
video of him "admitting" to """""sexual assault""""" first, then the stream of women claiming he assaulted them.
They assumed that would destroy him and they could just keep paying women to claim assault, but no one cared.

you don't understand customer acquisition. You heard about it, everyone heard about it, but that was because it was mentioned at a debate. you overestimate people's intelligence.

Operation Hummingbird 2.0 when?

I also think you're on to something, I think they pushed Trump too far and he just stopped giving a fuck about being polite. I guess they thought the guy would be cowed like every other cuck republican and hide his face while the cameras chased him around.

It really is a testament to how little influence the MSM has today. After accusing Republicans of a "war on women" they created the Great Satan of Misogyny: Donald Trump. Who was running against the HISTROIC first (not really) presidential candidate in the US. And to show for it? They have nothing. It appears to have not persuaded overall or at the most brought their support for Trump down to standard republican levels.

>It completely DEVASTATED Trump's campaign


yep, that's why he lost

They were forced to play their hand because of wikileaks.

They wanted to save this until the end. There is a reason that it dropped the same day the Wikileaks stuff started to look really bad for Hillary.

They wanted it out and open for the debates so it could be brought up to millions of viewers. simple.

They were desperate to get something out there, and I expect they would have thought it would have a more profound impact Trump wouldn't be able to recover from.

Think about all the shit they dug up about Trump, only this one had a chance to stick.

Think about all the shit they dug up about Hillary, there's more shit stuck to her wall than a gastro ward toilet.

They had nothing.

They needed early voters to see it too.

I'm sure he probably would have done better without the tape. I'm just saying that for any other candidate anywhere on Earth, the combined DNC and media onslaught would have devestated their chances of winning or even forced them to drop out. Imagine if this shit hit Romney, he would have lost by 400 EVs.

>also here are some that other networks paid to say the same thing

Yeah that is kind of amazing to me. Between the RNC and the DNC they probably spent close to two billion dollars trying to take Trump down and the worse than they could possibly find was a video of him saying he's so famoua thats
women throw themselves at him.

One word... "Hubris"

This.
It all boiled down to "trumps aid mean things because he is a meany beany"

Trump is missing the shame gene.

Any other candidate would have been to embarrassed to show up to the debate. This is where the Clinton's baggage helped Trump.

Clinton should have never touched the "grab them by the pussy" subject.

Trump is too ruthless. His response to the tape accusation was brilliant: "yes I said this things but the previous president and Hillary's husband is actually accused of doing things. He was impeached, he lost his license to practice law, he settled with paula jones for $850,000"

That completely changed the whole "grab them by the pussy" shock in my mind.

Oh yeah, completely. Trump was smart with how he secured Rust Belt support.

Yeah, I'm a bit shocked he had such a clean record. If i had his money and that kind of influence you'd heard about my infamous pussy grabbing sprees from here to the cape of south africa.
For a corrupt business type his life was surprisingly bland.

It was timed

They timed it, so it was released when early voting was starting

Either the media was forced to play their hand by Wikileaks or to set up the rape accusations and try to take him down in a scandal, or Trump himself released the tapes early in anticipation they would use it to sink his campaign late October or early November.

That and the fact that he gave an honest answer on stage.

As much as they tried to make the "locker room talk" thing a meme, it was an answer that I'm sure resonated with every man that's ever said something behind a woman's back.

>Teflon Trump
I want to use this somewhere, too

The number was way too many, I can understand 2-3 but 10 was just way too greedy.

There's no way 10 women would stay mum until a few weeks till the election.

cause the democrats and #nevertrump crowd are terrible at nearly everything they do. Meme, release exposed footage timing, laughing at people, making good protest signs etc. etc. The list goes on.

He would do it just as a show of force. Basically to show that you fuck with him you get hit hard.

Remember the apprentice producers or whatever said they had a mountain of other shit he's said and done like videotapes and shit? Lel i guess they were lying.

Trump preemptively leaked the tape.

>le 7d chess meme

Anyone with a modicum of sense should be able to determine that he wasn't talking about forcefully touching unwilling women.

I think a lot of people didn't even listen to the whole thing for context. It just sounded like he was talking himself up how he's the shit and gets all the pussy and chicks love him and let him do whatever he wants.

Also, logic. Who goes around bragging that they assault women? "Hurr I'm so cool I grab chicks that don't like it, neat huh?" Especially if they're being recorded, which I'm pretty sure he knew he was since it sounds like he was wearing a body mic. I'm really sick of hearing about it because it's just so retarded.

Pretty much only women and cucks talk about it. And of course the women think that *their* bf/husband would NEVER speak in such a manner.

The RNC and Priebus are to thank for that, he would have been blown out without them. Trump had almost no ground game, believe he had 1 field office in FL on his own.

This. They fucking paid 15 women to come out and accuse him of sexual assault.

Good thing absolutely no one with a brain believed it.

That pic

Yeah, I read about how they vastly improved their infrastructure after 2012. No wonder Priebus got the CoS gig.

Everyone knew they blew their load too soon, and Rick Wilsons "lolita Island" schmuck scheme never panned out for them

Jeffrey Epstein and whatnot they can't tie each other to everything. This is an enormous blackmail scheme being played out in real time

Trump would've probably done better without the tape.

He also would've done better if he didn't refer to Megyn Kelly's menstrual cycle, gone after Cruz's wife and father, didn't had that BS Trump U case going on etc etc He might have actually won the popular vote without all that.Who knows?


But i think it's for the better in the end of the day.The media is now castrated.Their old proven weapon of calling R candidate a racist proved impotent.Callist them misogynist doesn't work either and they have nothing left.NADDA.

plus, they really did believe their own bullshit that hill was a shoe in

And he has the DOJ on his side. His lawyer is the AG

the khan thing did hurt him as well, he had no reason to go on that debate.

thats a good point

his excuse may not have been perfect or anything, but it felt like something a lot of men would say if they were cornered like that.

it didn't help with the popular vote when Obama went on TV to give the ok for illegals to vote.

She's a loser. She was born to lose. All she's ever done is fail and lose.

Just look at the facts in pic related. She should have won by a landslide. It shouldn't have even been close.

But she still lost hard. Bitch is a loser.

Most people have been saying Teflon Don, this is the first time I've heard Teflon Trump. Either way works, since every attack and insult just rolls right off of him. It really was astounding to me how he was able to win in spite of every conceivable disadvantage.

It's because he never lost his temper. Hillary couldn't stop losing her shit at the slightest provocation. People may not realize it but they'd rather have a chill asshole running the show then a slightly better qualified basketcase. She was a spaz that never took Trump seriously.

What do you think his 2020 run will be like? they went all out in 2016. Do you think they'll uncover other hidden tapes for 2020?

I'm betting they played everything they had. As long as he curbs his pussy grabbing fetish the next 4 years he should be golden. They'll hammer away at his tax return though, they let it slide this time because voters didn't care... but who knows if they may next time.
