    Because the odds of success are not in the plaintiff's favor.

    If the story had any chance of credibility, it would be front-page news. It does not, and therefore is not.

    I don't think so. None of his previous authoritarian comments/ideas hurt him, and this won't either. His supporters have simply ignored that characteristic all along.

    People seem to understand he's the better option, even with comments like this. Hillary is no question a bigger threat to freedom. The choices suck, but one is unquestionably better than the other and I think for that reason alone, this won't damage his chances.

    While that sounds reasonable, it really doesn't fit the idea that the media is controlled by liberals that will do anything and everything to hurt Trump amd help Hillary. Just the screams from anti-Trumpers alone about a rape case should make the news. Media thrives on controversy, whether they are the center of it or not, and I can't imagine any media outlet being afraid of looking like they are picking on a poor girl when in the same breath they'd be calling Trump a racist.

    Heck, the only reason the Treyvon Martin case even went to trial was because of the media.

    The media has surely looked into this case, and apparently decided it is frivolous.
    Covering a bogus civil suit that Trump will undoubtedly win, is not in the interest of the liberal media.
    Trump has frivolous suits filed against him all the time. This is simply not newsworthy.

    IF they opened a case, Trump would ask why BC wasn't put on trial. He Said, She Said.

    This election is about who can lob the BUT, BUT they did it the hardest. Throw in Racist, Homophobic etc. Shit like the "allegations" are back seat fodder.

    Trumps authoritarian stuff disturbs me greatly. Trump is head and shoulders the better choice.

    Oh, I'll still vote Giant Douche over Turd Sandwich, but it dismays me greatly that the bar is SOOOOOO fucking low...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
