We’ve seen him rate women on their appearance, ranking them 1 to 10 … So yes, this is who Donald Trump is.” Clinton was responding to the news of the moment, leaked footage from 2005 of Trump making lewd comments about women. She said that this shouldn’t come as a shock to voters and that she had been preaching for months against the dangers of voting Republican this election. “I said starting back in June that he was not fit to be Commander in Chief,” Clinton said.
