I was just going to comment on that myself. I don't think they're really going for the denial spin as much as a "so what?" That's the angle that has the most traction with the Bernie Bro crowd, after all. They already had decided that civil rights issues were unimportant compared to "GNARHHH! ESTABLISHMENT!" So waving off assault issues are in that vein.

Trump himself though seems to be on a different track. I think he has long convinced himself that every woman wants him because he's rich and powerful and has great hair, so he's having a crisis now that he's learning that so many women did NOT want his advances. His ego can't take the reality that he can't touch a woman unless she's paid, desperate for attention or coerced.

OMG, Robyn...Night of the Hunter Mitchum scared me nearly as much as Pence, except at least that preacher wasn't running for office. Object lesson here, if I may be so bold, for other people's children: Do keep reckless/ill-considered behavior to a minimum or, failing that, for Chrissakes keep it OFF social media (!!!!), so that one day soon you can run for public office and straighten out this planet. Will be watching you from whatever realm is next...do your best; that will be enough.

Wait, let me just cross the river into Kentucky. It may have its faults, but it doesn't have Pence.

Pence has the empathy and intellectual depth of an empty toilet roll.
