Erin Burnett on CNN reports that Trump tried to assault a woman that she knows. Offered her tic tacs first...
This probably isn't the right place for it, but there is probably some need for discussions on how much dialogue is needed re: kissing, touching, etc. vs. how much you should be able to read cues in order to make judgments here. Not saying TRUMP had any reason whatsoever to think kissing this lady was ok, but I think most kisses do occur without explicit invitation and are more organic in nature; while I think it is perfectly reasonable to have people clearly and orally agree to sex before having it, it seems like it might be too much to ask for a simple kiss.
The issue this obviously raises is what happens when some idiot claims that he just misread social cues and uses it to get away with stuff like this. Obviously, TRUMP won't ever admit to that and will just say she did want it, but others would say they thought it was wanted.
