But I submit that this tape could be released to the media and his supporters would still stand by him. Hell, it may even energize them.
The actor Tom Arnold has claimed to have video of Donald Trump using racist language, obscenities and denigrating his own son in outtakes of The Apprentice.
“I have the outtakes to The Apprentice where he says every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children,” Arnold told the Seattle-based radio station KIRO.

Why would you need to wait to see what the religious community says?

Given that fact that some of Trump's strongest support for our "Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief" comes from the strongly religious evangelical community, despite the undisputed fact of his divorces and marital infidelities, what makes you believe there is any chance that proof of his frequent use of "nigger" or any other racial epithet would alter or diminish their support for him?

No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Yeah! That too!

Trump's alleged use of the N-word would only endear him to his most ardent supporters. Both Congressional Republicans and Evangelicals would easily rationalize his constant usage of that word. Hannity might claim that a number of US Presidents in the 20th Century used the N-Word.

Nowhere in my post did I say that I believe there is a chance that his remarks would alter or diminish the religious community's support for Trump.
I said I'd like to see how the religious community responds to the tape.

I agree that it would be interesting to see how the religious community responds to the tape. I didn't mean to imply that you necessarily thought that the religious community's support for Trump would diminish in response to the tape. Hopefully it would, but I think neither you nor I would be greatly surprised if Trump did not lose significant support from diehard evangelical supporters if the tape became public knowledge.

Indeed, if we add in the number of non-white evangelicals (about 20 percent), the number of evangelicals ineligible to vote because of a felony conviction (since 28.9 percent of Americans identify as evangelical and 6.5 million Americans have a felony conviction, we can estimate that nearly 1.7 million would be ineligible), the number of “culturally Christian” voters who identified as evangelical, and so on, the actual number of evangelical Trump voters would be even lower, likely between one-third (roughly 35 percent) and two-fifths (about 40 percent).
Whether you consider that final estimated number to be too high or too low, one thing is certain: it is substantially less than the 81 percent figure that is being touted as representing the voting figures for our faith community.
Before we opine on what evangelical voting behavior means, we should first make certain our claims are based on reasonably accurate assumptions about how evangelicals voted—or didn’t vote.
Addendum: One more category from the exit poll that is worthy of notice is the “Best description of vote.” While the majority of Democratic voters said, “I strongly favor my candidate” (53 percent), only 42 percent of Republicans said the same. The majority of Republicans said the best description of their vote was “I dislike the other candidates” (51 percent).
Assuming the same percentage is true for white evangelicals who voted Republican, we can make a rough estimate and conclude that the majority voted for Trump because they did not like Clinton. We can also assume that approximately only 1 in 5 of all evangelicals (about 18 percent) strongly favored Trump—about the same as the number that strongly favored Clinton (an estimated 19 percent).
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Omarosa has a conversation with three other Trump associates about the tape of him saying the N word. Katrina Pierson, Trump's campaign spokesperson, was involved in this conversation and Omarosa said she stated that she believed Trump actualy said the N word. But then FOX News puts her on TV so she could deny saying it, even going farther by saying that conversation never even took place.
At which point Omarosa releases an audio tape of the conversation which clearly has Pierson saying, "He said it. He is embarrassed."
Just another example of Trump people caught lying with a straight face on FOX News.
Nowhere in my post did I say that I believe there is a chance that his remarks would alter or diminish the religious community's support for Trump.
