Boulder police and prosecutors publicly cleared burke ramseys name. Dr. Spitz has not yet commented on that lawsuit. Campaign 2016, a president ial candidate donald trump using vulgar language towards women 11 years ago. This is only a portion of the video thats fit for television. I moved on her and i failed. Ill admit it. I did try and [ bleep ] her. She was married. All of a sudden shes now got the big phony [ bleep ] and shes totally changed her look. Im automatically attracted. Its like a magnet. And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Trump later released a statement saying this was locker room banter. A private conversation. That took place many years ago. He goes on to say quote, bill clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course. Not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended. Political specialist shaun boyd with more from trump and the reaction. Reporter donald trump is heard on the table bragging about trying to have sex the Washington Post obtained the conversation during a taping of a segment for access hollywood. Theres only a portion thats fit for television. And i moved on her very heavily. Effect i took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said ill show you some nice furniture. I moved on her like a [ bleep ]. I couldnt get there. And joint as always by our analyst, does this tape hurt donald trump and if so how well, its not any big surprise. Its consistent with the other behaviors we are familiar with. Of donald trump. So im not sure this will add any more to his problems. And yet there probably are some evangelical voters that might be hanging by a thread on this candidacy that could be impacted but they saw another side of the trumppence ticket earlier when pence did such a wonderful job on tuesday night. So during that debate. Well see what happens. What do you think . I agree with dick. No surprise. But i think its hurt trump badly because i think some voters were saying well, hes done this, hes done that but well give him another chance. Hes running out of chances like evangelicals. And i dont think mike pence can do enough to repair the damage that donald trump is doing to himself. The second president ial debate is this sunday, a town benefit . What do you think . I think the format actually has the ability to benefit donald trump. He has the bigger personality. More gregarious. Sort of relates to People Better than Hillary Clinton does. So the format should work for him. He just has to avoid another meltdown. I know this. We saw what a debate should be like from governor pence this past week. Donald trump has got to rise to the occasion. He is hanging by a thread. In this election. And if he doesnt perform better, much better than he did before, this could be over with. You agreth doesnt do better . I think it is. I think Hillary Clinton is solidly in the lead and she can afford a poor for a poor performance. I dont think hes got any time to recover. If he doesnt do a much much better job than the first debate. I agree with both of you. That will do it. Back to you, karen and jim. Thank you.
