Sen. Mark Kirk (Ill.)Oh oh oh, is there a list? I was looking for it to enjoy my dinner with once I saw Arnold backed down, but I couldn't seem to find a nice juicy list.
37 Republicans have rescinded their endorsement thus far, including McCain,
Better yet, we need a list of republicans who refused to endorse him from day 1.
Jebbers Bush
Georgie Bush
Georgie 2 Bush
Mittens
Ben Sasse
Am I missing anyone?
Kasich.
This almost feels like the perfect opening for Mitt. Maybe he's been running the most brilliant campaign in the history of campaigns and we don't even know it yet.
This election has been so insane and unpredictable, who even knows.
Oh right, Kasich. How could I forget.
I don't how how Mittens could run, exactly.
If Trump won't quit, the only way for him to run would be as an independent. Then the question is, could he win? Ordinarily, you couldn't run a four-week presidential campaign in the U.S. and expect to have any chance, but this is a guy who was the nominee four years ago, he was already publicly vetted throughout a two-year cycle. People already know what they need to know about him.
Still, I think the best he could do in four weeks is to peel off enough disaffected Republicans who were going to sit it out, Republicans who were only going to vote for Trump because of the R and how much they think Hillary is the devil, and Republicans/conservative-leaning Independents who were going to vote for Hillary because Trump, and Johnson supporters, to end up in something akin to a three-way tie. And then who the hell knows what happens when any of them are elected with thirty-some percent of the vote.
But even that seems unlikely. I just don't know if the never-Trumpers are a big enough faction of Hillary's voters to drag her percentage down that much, to keep her from winning if they left her.
This is all academic though, I highly doubt anyone is going to enter the race at this point.
Those Republicans that have rescinded their endorsements can go fuck themselves for even endorsing him in the first place. It took them THIS LONG to figure out what was going on?
I mean, it should be clear that they are simply jumping off a sinking ship. It's not about being morally outraged at anything he said. Many were probably planning on distancing themselves from Trump anyway if he had a poor showing. Purely tactical behavior. These are still the same assholes that found a way to support an unambiguously racist, xenophobic and misogynist candidate.
Finally read the transcript of what he said... I'm not at angry as I was expecting to be. Male bullshit. Nothing as shocking as was made out. Maybe the days of hearing about it desensitized me to what he actually says, Idk.
I don't understand this. As has been mentioned, he's not just trash talking about vulgar things he would like to do; he is describing things he has actually DONE.
If anybody I knew said this, I would keep talking to them only so long as necessary to get enough details to report them for sexual assault.
I can't justify voting for this guy and being okay with this behavior. Disgusting and his "apology" video was disgraceful. Man up and take some personal responsibility! Tells me that his man has no leadership. This country is desperate for leadership!
This goes a lot deeper than just a "locker room language" cop out. Because if he's being lumped in with the type of guys who talk like that in a locker room, he's a real POS.
Hopefully he drops out and let's someone like Romney or Kasich take the nomination.
Starting to look like 538-0 is possible.
