Imagine, if you will, a young Barack Obama running for president in 2008 against Hillary Clinton, and the following story comes out about him:"Back in 2004, a model named Victoria Zdrok gave an interview to a guy named Chaunce Hayden. In it, she detailed the way that Donald Trump had called up her bosses at Playboy and requested to meet her under the guise of needing a model to work a campaign for a new casino. As it turns out, he just wanted a model to date. They went out four times.
She told Hayden all about their time together for his magazine, Stepping Out. She said this:
First of all, he’s really arrogant. He’s really into himself! On a date all he does is talk about himself. He loves himself! The first thing he says to me on our date is that he’s taller and better looking than what he looks like in pictures, and that people don’t realize it. He said, ‘People don’t realize how handsome I am!’ He actually loves himself! I never met a more narcissistic person than Donald. You feel just like a piece of jewelry when you’re with him. For him it’s all about looks, appearances, and signing autographs. He just loves it.Naturally, Trump wasn’t too excited to hear that this interview would be coming out in 2004 as he was beginning the first season of The Apprentice, according to the Daily Beast.
He called Hayden himself and said, “[Zdrok] looks like a fucking third-rate hooker. Gimme a break. I never took her out. She’s full of shit. Chaunce, look, I have good taste in women. Take a look at her picture. It’s all bullshit. I never took her out … I never took her out, and based on that picture I would never take her out. She’s not even attractive, she’s not a good-looking girl… Who the hell wants a Penthouse Pet? Penthouse is gone, it’s bankrupt, it’s over.” [Source]
Barack Obama would have lost the election by double digits and you would have never heard from him again. But this is not Barack Obama; this is Donald trump, and no matter what he does he will have the undying support of his minions.
Maybe this is why all those "elder statesmen" in the GOP fear trump. They believe that his elevation to the presidency of the United States would set the image of the grand old party back a hundred years. What they don't realize, of course, is that just by running for president he has sullied the party and its standing about a large portion of the electorate. It is a portion of the electorate that does not take kindly to this type of crass boorish behavior towards women, and sadly for Mitt and company, I suspect that it is too late to bring them back.
