While a number of top-name Republican politicians renounced Trump on Saturday in the aftermath of the recording, many of his rank-and-file supporters stood behind their standard-bearer, heckling and attacking GOP leaders who distanced themselves from the billionaire.

While few openly defended Trump’s lewd remarks, many of his supporters dismissed the incident as overblown, blaming the media for hyping the story and GOP elected officials for panicking in response.

Anderson, who owns a gourmet popcorn store, brushed aside Trump’s remarks in the 2005 recording as “some naughty words” and said they were no reason for Ryan to disinvite the candidate.

I’ve said for years that my ideal President would be J.R. Ewing from the old Dallas series. Someone to screw our enemies before they screw us! Trump is darn close and I’m sticking with him.

The last time I checked, Paul Ryan, Mitt, The Bush bros, Mitch, etc only get one vote each. My extended family has more votes than they do! Go Donald!

She tweeted yesterday. But not after the release of an 11 year old Billy Bush tape.
