Hillary was right!
I just looked at his Twitter and he has an actual statement about not running. That dude was really gonna run for real?
I mean, obviously he'd be better than Trump, but he actually was gonna run? He seems like a similar kind of person to Trump, just on the side of the political spectrum.

Why the hell are people still going on and on over this song? It ain't even that good.
Rape or no she is the one who has to deal with her reputation taking a hit. So yeah she takes the time to consider if one night of fun is worth days of judgement and harassment later. Since he would know that you'd think he'd be more understanding. But knowing something and knowing something are two different things. No one's gonna judge or question him the next morning. He can continue life unbothered, even move on to another woman if he wished. So he most likely is underestimating the level of mess she has to deal with. Which is a bit of a dick move really.
I also find it funny that in all the face to face conversations I've had about this song the most ardent supporters of this song as a Christmas staple are Christian. And virulently so. They would be the type to nag on any woman in their life about not coming back home that night. Premarital sex is a sin in their eyes. So I guess they are getting a thrill in singing/listening to a song about something they consider taboo.
Trump referred to himself as "Tariff Man" today.

I always assumed the two characters in that song were just teasing each other. I'm all for bashing Christmas songs, but the two leads in Baby it's cold outside are clearly DTF.
"A happy ending? So unlikely. We're not having a moment here.
Wrong city, wrong people, all huddling in fear.
No one escapes the slaughterhouse, and that's just where you're at.
(You could've asked Rebecca but then Adam stomped her flat.)
You think you're special cuz you're scrappy? You're deluded, time to go.
Lucy's living on the moon but you're another dead psycho."
If you read the defenses of the song, that line, at the time it was written, was never intended to mean anything more than the fact that the drink was alcoholic. I don't think there even was such a thing as Date Rape Drugs and spiking drinks back in the 1930's or 1940's. Not as far as I can tell.
It may be, as the authors of those articles suggest, that people are applying 21st century expectations to an early 20th century song. I don't hear anything in it about the women being forced or coerced.
