Between sexual assault claims against Donald Trump and a Wikileaks dump against Hillary Clinton, it was a big week of news for the presidential election.

“Aren’t they all big news weeks?” wonders Bridge Magazine reporter Bill McGraw.

The Access Hollywood hot-mic tape of Trump talking about fondling and kissing women drew attention to the issue of sexual assault this week.

“To hear his own words, not only did it totally sabotage his campaign, but it certainly ignited a conversation about sexual assault,” says McGraw.

“I know the election isn’t over… but he doesn’t seem to be doing anything to increase the sort of voters he needs to win.”
