Clinton's attack ads are highlighting how many times Pence tried to defend Trump by denying that he made particular comments. It was quite comedic seeing footage of Trump saying exactly what Pence said he didn't say.
Of course, it won't influence the rusted on Trump supporters and Hillary haters but it may convince swinging voters not to vote for Trump.

That's true Lod's but the audience was relatively small. More folk will see the ads, particularly in states that Trump has to win.

Yep, a good example of rape culture. Reminds me of those pick-up artists who were to give seminars in Aus. They boasted that in Japan they'd go up to young women in the streets, grab their heads and move them down to the crotch area. They advocated taking what you wanted. There was such an outcry that their visas were cancelled on moral grounds.
Can you imagine what Bill Cosby and Trump would have talked about at the turn of the century? Yes, the difference is that Cosby is now in court over his brilliant methods of taking what he wanted. But remember that Trump is currently being sued over child rape. That complaint details his sense of entitlement and invulnerability which resonates with his words on tape. That complaint is the absolute king hit which awaits him. Hillary might unleash it or the media might unleash it as it doesn't seem such an outlier now.
Trump's "apology" was a pathetic non-apology, saying he apologises IF anyone was offended. He has to deliver a real apology over this before Sunday's debate or he'll be called on to do so there.

I guess it's too much to ask that the requirements for Presidential candidacy be tightened and upgraded so that somebody like Trump doesn't run in the future ? Rather tired of putting up with this mind-polluting crap, wasting months of people's time.

Unfortunately yes it is
I'm not surprised by his boast that he used his status to obtain sexual gratification and demean women. What a pathetic grub!
