When I was in graduate school my p**** was grabbed on my walk home after classes. The thing about sexual assault is that it is more assault than it is sexual. I did not know what to expect from my assailant; I was afraid for my life. This is something that Trump does not get.

In Idaho, sexual assault is a felony and is punishable by imprisonment not to exceed 25 years and/or a fine not to exceed $25,000.

In Idaho, assault with a deadly weapon is punishable by up to five years in prison, and/or a fine of up to $5,000, or both, or up to 15 years in prison, depending on the circumstances. (Idaho Code Ann. §§ 18-905, 18-906, 18-907, 18-908.)

Trump’s “locker room talk” is worse than bragging that he had taken a shot at someone (and was successful) or intends to shoot at them.
