Trump: Women tell me they've 'heard a lot worse'
Donald Trump said Tuesday that women keep coming up to him to tell him they've heard far worse than the lewd remarks he made in 2005 when he bragged about using his celebrity to get sexual favors from women by simply groping them. He added that he was "better off without" the support of establishment Republicans who have distanced themselves from him since his taped conversation was leaked.
