They didn’t find the rape allegation true, just sexual assault and defamation.

I don't even find the assault charge plausible.

Of course you don’t.

No, most people that don't have TDS would say the same thing. As poisoned as the New York jury pool is, I doubt very seriously Trump could get a fair trial.
This is bullshit. You know it, I know it.
Don't pretend it's something different.

How is it not even plausible when he copped to the very behavior on tape?

Yes, but surely if a guys says "I do X to women" and a woman says "He did X to me", its at least plausible.

If we were talking about Mike Pence then I too would say it is implausible.

Agreed, and, this being a civil, not criminal case, the bar is much lower for an unfavorable verdict for Trump.
So, does this affect his candicacy?
Donald Trump (R - Verified Sexual Predator).

No. Everybody knows he does this kind of thing already, and true believers will think its a hoax.

I think it's quite plausible. But I am naturally suspicious of cases that are not brought until there is political hay and/or money to be made 25-30 years later.

Yeah, how many years down the line?
It doesn't pass the sniff test.

The most I’ll give you is that it’s plausible she’s making the whole thing up.

I agree with this.

The plaintiff and attorney were on CBS news this morning, of course. While I liked her attorney, Carroll was deliberately disingenuous. The hosts of course let her get away with it. Her answer to how Trump came to be in Bergdorf's dressing room with her only explained how they came to be in the store - not the dressing room area. She also kept stating that the jury found him guilty. They did not. they found him liable. HUGE difference.
Had I been a juror I would have tried to find both of them liable.
