And I think character matters in picking presidents, governors, etc.
Agreed. But some food for thought; Americans, in recent years, have shown a willingness to 'forgive' politicians who have transgressed into these type of waters when the individuals are transparent and contrite about it. Mark Sanford is a sterling example, but Anthony Wiener was polling surprisingly well when he ran for Mayor of NYC a few years ago before new allegations surfaced. If Donald Trump has a spitting chance in hell - which I believe he still does - then he has a find a way to bluntly tap into that sympathetic vein of the electorate on Sunday night ... while assailing Hillary in the very next breath. What a tightrope.
The 'pussy' question will almost assuredly lead the debate. Will Trump be as prepared as Newt Gingrich was for John King's question about his preference for open relationships during the SC GOP primary debate in 2012? Gingrich nailed it, hands down won the debate (and the primary, which was not expected) less than a minute in. I honestly don't think Donald will, and expect him to spend literally the entire night on the defensive. A true white flag moment. I'm going to be watching and I suspect a whole helluva lot of other people are too.
If he can somehow redeem himself from this ... he will win the election.

I think people are underestimating the new voters Trump is going to bring in. People who don't normally vote or normally don't vote Republican. The DNC said as much in their own emails. They expect Donald to out perform polls by 3-4 percent.
He'll defend himself by calling it locker room talk and attacking the Clintons, Bill for doing the same and Hillary for enabling him. It's gonna be ugly. I think it was "locker room banter" but by a 59 year old man wearing a microphone who was supposedly on the site of a new job with someone he didn't know well. It was a gross lack of judgement and totally consistent with the 70 yr old candidate for president.
I think Hillary will jab and move but she is going to have to acknowledge the stink of Bill's actions and perhaps even hers. She'll try and ignore her part. It's painfully clear now to the whole human race that this man isn't fit for any government job. Hillary would do well to acknowledge the trainwreck and move on. For the sake of decency, what there is left of it, I hope it doesn't spiral into a screaming match.
Is Dr. Phil free to moderate?
.I've personally never seen the value in attacking Bill.
That's because there isn't any, except for the Repub base. Just like the emails and Benghazi, it only plays to the their base. If he wants to actually win he needs to not just apologize, but just admit, "hey it was a stupid thing to say, I"m not proud of it, but I did it and I admit/own it, unlike some people we know..." or something pretty close along those lines, and then maybe lay out a couple of actual plans. Given the American voter's 3 minute attention span he could turn all this to his advantage, as effing nuts as that seems.
