"I plan to vote for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence on Nov. 8," she said Tuesday on Lincoln radio station KLIN.

"I put out a statement ... with regard to Mr. Trump's comments," she said of her initial response to the video, in which Trump boasts of grabbing women without their consent.

I’ve been saying since Saturday that this would hurt down ballot pubbies more than it hurts Trump. All they did by attacking Trump is really, really, really piss off his supporters.

They act like a bunch of junior high students. They need to be put in their place. This back and forth is crazy.

Did they see some recent polls, which showed that they, these gutless Republicans, were losing support, rather than Trump????
