Why would the GOP be backing away from him? I flat out don't get it.
Conservative pro-life anti homosexual perversion are ananthem to the GOPe these days.
They keep watching the democrats and their "victories" and so emulate and copy them.
Dems got illegal alien insurgent criminal votes, GOPe thinks they can.
Dems support perversion, GOPe thinks that will work for them too.
The "Grand" Old Party isn't grand, it's just old.
Old and in the way.
