Robert and Rebekah Mercer, who run a mega PAC supporting Trump put out this statement:
“If Mr. Trump had told Billy Bush, whoever that is, earlier this year that he was for open borders, open trade, and executive actions in pursuit of gun control, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. If he had admitted to Mr. Bush that he had profited privately by allowing the sale to Russia of 20% of US uranium deposits or that he had amassed his personal fortune not by hard work in the private sector but by selling favors to foreigners on the American taxpayers' dime, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. If he had argued that he needed both a public and a private position on issues facing the American public, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. And finally if Trump had serially terrorized and silenced the victims of violent sexual assault whom he feared could damage his political career, we would most definitely be rethinking our support for him.
“Donald Trump's uncensored comments, both old and new, have been echoed and dissected in the media repeatedly in an effort to kindle among his supporters a conflagration of outrage commensurate with the media's own faux outrage. Can anyone really be surprised that Mr. Trump could have said to Mr. Bush such things as he has already admitted saying? No. We are completely indifferent to Mr. Trump's locker room braggadocio.
“The same media that resolutely looked away when the most powerful man in the world, a sitting U.S. president with multiple violent sexual assaults to his credit, snared an impressionable young intern in his web and ruined her life, now expects us to gasp with revulsion at Mr. Trump's irreverent comments. America is finally fed up and disgusted with its political elite. Trump is channeling this disgust and those among the political elite who quake before the boombox of media blather do not appreciate the apocalyptic choice that America faces on November 8th. We have a country to save and there is only one person who can save it. We, and Americans across the country and around the world, stand steadfastly behind Donald J. Trump.”
All in all, an excellent assessment. Judging from reading various social media as well as the comment sections in "news stories" on the debacle people are overwhelmingly backing Trump. Even the smear articles in the MSM are getting pummeled by Trump supporters.
One particular poster in social media summed it up this way, and I agree with him:
Trump immediately took responsibility for his actions and owned it, then promptly apologized. He did not deny it, say he couldn't remember, try to say he fell and hit his head and has no recollection, blame his opponent or blame it on a vast conspiracy. He didn't try to blame Russia. Trump displayed leadership unlike his rival
Say what you will, but it's my belief this episode has energized his base and supporters and has further shown how desperate the political and media elites are trying to hold on to power.
