5. We are reaching the point when the powerful people had better come out on their own

This is turning into an avalanche. Don't be surprised if the NFL pushes Tisch out. THe NFL has a major strategy of developing women as fans. They aren't going to be very happy seeing these reports.

It is looking more and more like all the names will eventually come out, especially if Dems take control of the House. If I was in those files, I would not have any confidence that sucking up (or paying) Trump would save me. We are reaching the point where the best damage control strategy is to get out ahead of the drip, drip, drip. It is better to come out now and try to frame the story, have a big tearful apology to the wife and family, and all the colleagues I have let down, blah, blah, blah. Americans have an enormous capacity to forgive, especially if the people say that they have turned to Jesus who has now put them on the right path.

As cynical as all that is, it is a lot smarter than hiding out, hoping it will never become public. Watch this space. I predict we will start seeing preemptive apologies in the next few weeks.
