Washington- Republican Candidate Donald Trump faces his democratic opponent Hillary Clinton on Sunday night during the second presidential debate. Don’t expect the voters, the debate moderators or Clinton to let Trump brush off his remarks that easily.
One longtime party fundraiser put it this way Saturday: “The entire donor community is pulling back” from Trump, redirecting efforts and resources to Senate and House races.
“The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me”, his wife Melania Trump said in a rare statement.
“As a Christian, I believe that the Bible teaches, to quote a verse from the New Testament, that we’re to treat older women as our mothers and younger women as sisters in all purity”, Reed told NPR in an interview on Saturday, adding that Trump has apologized. “He has the heart and mind of a leader”, she said.
The backlash over the video was swift and widespread.
People in Donald Trump’s own party party have said they strongly disagree with the things he has said. Most notably, Trump’s suggestion that he made aggressive advances toward women has raised grave new questions about whether he touched women without their consent, Celebrity Insider reported.

Former New York Governor George Pataki called Trump’s campaign “a poisonous mix of bigotry and ignorance”.

Sanders supporters seethe over Clinton’s leaked remarks to Wall St.Before the video surfaced, Clinton campaign officials said they were expecting the Republican nominee to come to the debate more subdued than the first round.
If college men may be the key to whether Trump can expand his reach, the group that determines whether his support substantially dips might be blue-collar white women. “She was married”, Trump says. I just start kissing them. He also says that when you’re a star, “you can do anything”. “Grab them by the p”.
Trump has categorically said he won’t quit. Only once before during the campaign had Trump expressed any measure of “regret” for his past controversial remarks – and even that statement was vague and nonspecific. Mr Trump was asked if he would have sex with a black woman and responded, “It depends on what your definition of black is”.
Richard Burr, who’s in a competitive race to hold on to his seat, has said he will watch Trump’s “level of contrition” in the coming days before deciding what level of support to give the nominee.
He cancelled a planned appearance in Wisconsin on Saturday after an invitation by House Speaker Paul Ryan was withdrawn as a result of the controversy. Pence was to go in Trump’s place, but he cancelled without explanation. “I will support [vice presidential nominee] Mike Pence for president”. Such behavior is an abuse of power. “It’s not lewd. It’s sexual assault”.

“You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful – I just start kissing them”.
