GOP Abandons Trump as Mike Pence Cancels Wisconsin Event
http://www.rollingstone.com/politic...as-mike-pence-cancels-wisconsin-event-w444022

The fallout from Donald Trump's leaked 2005 video continued to haunt the presidential candidate Saturday as major Republicans publicly denounced and withdrew their support of the party's nominee.

Even Trump's running mate Mike Pence criticized the mogul's remarks in a statement Saturday morning. "As a husband and father, I was offended by the words and actions described by Donald Trump in the 11-year-old video released yesterday," Pence said.

"I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them. I am grateful that he has expressed remorse and apologized to the American people. We pray for his family and look forward to the opportunity he has to show what is in his heart when he goes before the nation tomorrow night."

Trump's vulgar comments about women led to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan to disinvite the candidate from their much publicized appearance together this weekend in Wisconsin; Pence was instead recruited to attend the GOP event, but instead opted to cancel his appearance Saturday morning as many Republicans flocked to social media to un-endorse Trump.

New Hampshire senator Kelly Ayotte, who previously sparred with Trump before ultimately backing the GOP nominee, was among the first to withdraw her support, telling her Twitter followers frankly, "I will not vote for Donald Trump."

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I will not vote for Donald Trump. Read my statement here: <a href="https://t.co/F8zajgDZpg">pic.twitter.com/F8zajgDZpg</a></p>— Kelly Ayotte (@KellyAyotte) <a href="https://twitter.com/KellyAyotte/status/784779876796665857">October 8, 2016</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Idaho senator Mike Crapo also rescinded his support for Trump. "Make no mistake — we need conservative leadership in the White House," Crapo said in a statement. "I urge Donald Trump to step aside and allow the Republican party to put forward a conservative candidate like Mike Pence who can defeat Hillary Clinton."

Similar statements came, unexpectedly, from deep red state representatives like Alabama's Martha Roby, Nevada's Joe Heck and Utah's Jason Chaffetz, who told a Utah TV station following the Trump video leak, "I'm out. I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president. It is some of the most abhorrent and offensive comments that you can possibly imagine."

"Donald Trump should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately," South Dakota senator John Thune tweeted Saturday afternoon. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has voted Republican in every election since becoming a U.S. citizen in 1983, tweeted that he would not vote Trump this election.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">As proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else - American. My full statement: <a href="https://t.co/biRvY8S3aZ">pic.twitter.com/biRvY8S3aZ</a></p>— Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) <a href="https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger/status/784803865723965440">October 8, 2016</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

While many in Trump's own party have asked the mogul to step aside – even after Trump's late-night apology video – for the good of the GOP and let Mike Pence be the presidential nominee, Trump said in a pair of interviews this morning that he would "never" quit.

"I'd never withdraw. I've never withdrawn in my life," Trump told The Washington Post. "No, I'm not quitting. I have tremendous support."

Trump then reiterated to the Wall Street Journal that there is "zero chance I'll quit."

RNC halts Victory project work for Trump
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/...y-project-work-for-trump-229363#ixzz4MWMFz77K

POLITICO obtains email sent to vendors to ‘hold/stop’ all mail program efforts.

The Republican National Committee on Saturday appeared to at least temporarily halt the operations of some of the “Victory” program that is devoted to electing Donald Trump.

The move comes as the GOP nominee is under mounting pressure from elected Republicans to step aside after he was caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women.

In an email from the RNC to a victory program mail vendor, with the subject line “Hold on all projects,” the committee asked the vendor to “put a hold” on mail production.

“Please put a hold/stop on all mail projects right now. If something is in production or print it needs to stop. Will update you when to proceed,” Lauren Toomey, a staffer in the RNC’s political department, wrote in an email that was obtained by POLITICO.

The email was sent to at least one RNC victory program vendor. Rick Wiley, a top RNC official, was cc’d on the email.

Neither Toomey nor Wiley responded to requests for comment. An RNC spokesperson also didn’t respond to a request for comment.

JUST IN: Congressman Jason Chaffetz is the first sitting Republican member of Congress to pull his support of Donald J. Trump, and he cited his 15-year-old daughter as a reason: "Do you think I can look her in the eye and tell her that I endorse Donald Trump for president when he acts like this?" http://cnn.it/2dM4R6R

Exploits? Sure.
Assaults? No.
Talking about how he would date his own daughter? No.
Calling a reporter pretending to be someone else and bragging about his sexual exploits? No.

Face it, Clinton is a pig, but nowhere near the creep Trump is.

Private jet trips with Jeffrey Epstein? Sex with an intern with his teen daughter upstairs in the same building? Going on television and bald-faced lying to the American people?

Face it, they're both disgusting. If you can't admit that you're a total hypocrite.

And what's being overlooked here? Does it bother none of you Hillary supporters that in speeches to Wall Street banks she says she has one set of "private" policies for people like them and another set of "public" ones for the poor slobs like us? Does that sound like a person of integrity to you?

I am sick to my stomach that either one of these people will be president.
 
I care as much about Bill Maher's opinion on things as I do Pop's.

This is simple, absurd, blind party lemming loyalty talk. To say Trump is more of a creep than Bill Clinton is not just laughable, but also a sad statement on Democrats and Liberals who persistently turn a blind eye to equal or worse crimes and dismiss them. Trump has not been taken to court (federal court mind you) for assault or rape. Clinton has. As I posted elsewhere today to someone else, it applies here as well:

You are rationalizing away every one of the woman's sins and crimes...Hillary has literally destroyed women's lives...the lives of women Bill raped and/or assaulted, just as a few examples. Donald made foul comments. But comments are worse than deeds. Got it.

This is a perfect example of how divided we are as a nation, how we are partisan, and how our partisanship leads us to turn a blind eye to our candidate's sins. The win is all that matters. If you are a Democrat, you rationalize everything Hillary has done...She "mistakenly" deleted 33,000 emails. She accidentally took all of that stuff from the White House. She was just "doing her job" setting that rapist free and her laughing about it was just enjoying the victory. Those scandals are all a "vast right wing conspiracy." She literally can never be wrong within her party. She could be caught holding a smoking gun over Vince Foster and it would still all just be a "misunderstanding" to her followers.

Juanita Broaddrick, Dolly Kyle, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Gennifer Flowers, and Eileen Wellstone. Just some of the destroyed lives. Women Bill assaulted or raped. Women Hillary destroyed. "In various media interviews, Broaddrick stated that Clinton raped her and that Hillary Clinton knew about it, and tried to threaten Broaddrick into remaining silent." Federal lawsuits have been filed against Bill Clinton for sexual assault. But Donald's comments are worse...again, got it.

It's sad really. I find Donald's comments repulsive. But I'm also rational. There is no way on any scale of measurement, by any set of judgement, that one can show outrage at Donald's comments while simultaneously showing NO outrage at Hillary's past transgressions against women. There is simply no way that a man's foul comments can be deemed worse than Hillary ruining all of those women's lives. Or Bill actually sexually assaulting women. She didn't just set one rapist free. She kept one in the White House. If a person doesn't share outrage at that long list of Clinton transgressions, then that person is simply a hypocrite and a lemming of their party.

It won't stop, now It comes out Trump told Howard Stern "It's alright to call my daughter a piece of ***".
 
The thing is with two horribad people running one isnt better than the other... Bill clinton had the lady who ratted on his sex to get out of a ticket scam killed in arkansas... When her boyfriend objected to the suicide ruling he was shot in the back of the head with a shotgun... And it was also ruled a suicide... Those kind of things are way worse than trump, but that doesnt make trumps immature assholary any better
 
The hits keep coming. They will forever refer to this day as 'Bloody Saturday.' Wow.

Breaking: McCain withdraws support for Trump
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/300030-mccain-withdraws-support-for-trump

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Saturday withdrew his support from Donald Trump in the wake of leaked tapes of Trump making lewd comments about women in 2005.

"I have wanted to support the candidate our party nominated," McCain said in a statement. "He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference."

"But Donald Trump’s behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy," he continued.

"Cindy, with her strong background in human rights and respect for women fully agrees with me in this."

McCain offered tepid support for Trump after he wrapped up the GOP presidential nomination.

Trump frequently attacked McCain during his campaign, including mocking his military service last year by quipping, “He’s a hero because he was captured? I like people who weren’t captured.”

Former GOP Chairman: It's Over for Trump and the Party
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/former-gop-chairman-steele-trump-tape

Is it over for the reality TV celebrity? Has he unintentionally fired himself?

Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican Party, believes it is. On Saturday afternoon, I asked him for his reaction to the Trumpocalypse under way. He cut to the chase:

This is a devastating blow to the Trump campaign and to the party, and there is not much either can do to salvage it. It almost doesn't matter what Trump does in the next debate.

A former GOP chief says the elephant is cooked. As another former GOP official tells me, "This is no longer about what happens on Election Day. It's about what happens in 20 years—and whether there is still a Republican Party then."

I said at the beginning of the primary season that Trump would never be elected and that nominating him would put Hillary in the White House. I've never had more than a tiny glimmer of a doubt about that since then.This just seals the deal.
 
Indeed, it does.

John Kasich: "Our Country Deserves Better" Than Trump
http://www.theatlantic.com/liveblog...-latest-updates/503480/9035/?utm_source=atlfb

Nothing that has happened in the last 48 hours is surprising to me or many others. Many people were angry and questioned why I would not endorse Donald Trump or attend the Republican Convention. I've long had concerns with Donald Trump that go beyond his temperament. We have substantive policy differences on conservative issues like trade, our relationship with Russia, and the importance of balancing the federal budget. I've held out hope that he would change on those disqualifying policy positions, but he has not. I've also encouraged him to change his behavior for the better and offer a positive, inclusive vision for our country, but he has not. It's clear that he hasn't changed and has no interest in doing so. As a result, Donald Trump is a man I cannot and should not support. The actions of the last day are disgusting, but that's not why I reached this decision, it has been an accumulation of his words and actions that many have been warning about. I will not vote for a nominee who has behaved in a manner that reflects so poorly on our country. Our country deserves better.

I never voted for Clinton and have voted for exactly one democrat in the past 20 years, but as corrupt as they are, I'd sooner identify as a Democrat than associate myself with the Cleveland Browns of a politcal party that the Republicans have become.

Republican's won't associated with Trump either. He has thoroughly alienated and infuriated both Democrats and Republicans........which is precisely what convinces me that he is on the right track. They can all take their under the table cronyism and shove it up their *****. Behind closed doors, the good of the American people doesn't even factor in as a concern to either side. It's just what they say in public to fool the public into voting for them. **** 'em.

Congratulations. My comments were directed at your misdirected opinion - "Face it, Clinton is a pig, but nowhere near the creep Trump is." The facts say otherwise. You may have your opinion, but it is just that, based upon fact and evidence we have.
 
The rank and file are for Trump - the elitist RHINO'S are all globalists and want Hillary anyway


Trump Supporters Heckle Elected GOPers: ‘You Turned Your Back On Us!’

Voters greeted prominent Republicans with boos and loud heckling at Saturday events, after the officials spoke out against the remarks Donald Trump made about women in a newly unearthed recording.

“Paul Ryan sucks!” Milwaukee resident Paul Anderson yelled at a fall festival in Elkorn, Wisconsin, where the House speaker addressed a crowd, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“You turned your back on us,” other hecklers shouted, breaking into chants of “We want Trump!”

Local TV station WHAM reported that some attendees yelled “Shame! Shame!" at Ryan as he left the stage, lashing out at the House speaker for leaving their candidate swinging in the wind so close to Election Day.

Ryan brings other Wisconsin Republicans up on stage to say goodbye, hecklers yell, "GOD BLESS TRUMP!"

In Las Vegas, Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV), who's running to replace Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), also was booed loudly as he read a statement calling for Trump to withdraw

The way the Republicans have become in what way?...conservative abandoning elitist RINOS? Your kind should embrace the Rep party then.

Or do people like you and Tibs disassociate yourselves from the Rep party "just because".
 
I'm a registered republican, and I am disturbed at the GOP and what it's become.

You CAN NOT defend Trump by using the Clintons as a defense. Trump has failed the party. He may start a new party, and that is fine. But it is definitely not Republican.
