Donald Trump is headed for a colossal loss, but his defenders seem oblivious to the demise of their own credibility, to the extent they still have any. It’s remarkable people are making such horrifically awful arguments in his defense:
1. Why didn’t these women come forward sooner? This is classic blaming the victim.
2. But you didn’t believe Bill Clinton’s accusers. Bill is not on the ballot, and if he were, you’d still be morally obligated to denounce and drop support for Trump.
3. But Hillary. . . ? The knee-jerk reaction that Hillary “destroyed” the women who accused Bill is not substantiated by the facts.
4. It doesn’t matter if Trump abused women. This was the Jerry Falwell Jr. argument, which is a moral obscenity.
5. Trump is threatening to sue over the allegations so he’s entitled to the benefit of the doubt. This is not a court; it’s an election. Moreover, Trump usually threatens litigation when people say things he doesn’t like.
6. We should forgive him. ...frankly, if we are supposed to forgive everyone, why not Bill and Hillary?
7. You’re just for Hillary. Actually, we and many Republicans were for anyone but Trump.
