Ohio Sen. Rob Portman Calls on Trump to Quit
Wall Street Journal ^ | October 8, 2016 | Reid J. Epstein

Posted on 10/08/2016 6:51:47 PM PDT by Pinkbell

Ohio Sen. Rob Portman became the latest Republican senator to call on Donald Trump to quit the race.

“While I continue to respect those who still support Donald Trump, I can no longer support him,” Mr. Portman said in a statement. “I continue to believe our country cannot afford a Hillary Clinton presidency. I will be voting for Mike Pence for president.”

Mr. Portman becomes the latest in a flood of Republicans to have abandoned the party’s presidential nominee Saturday, a day after a 2005 recording emerged of Mr. Trump making lewd and degrading comments about women.

They have their own races to win...

Well, isn't that SPECIAL?

They may "win" for a season, but when next harvest comes along, what are they going to do about the DEDICATED and ZEALOT anti-"Republican" vandals burning their fields?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Alberta's Child?

I have little patience with ProgTards or PubTards. :)

There’s no point in voting for them if they’re just going to democrats. They’re all crooks.

Maybe these guys need to know that we will literally VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT if they don’t stand by Trump

They know it. I think they intended to vote for the Hildebeast all along. This non event just gives cover to these rat bastard libtards, who masquerade as conservatives. I think I despise RINOs more than rats.

Matt Drudge has been The Man since the impeachment wars began, and before.

One of my FR posts actually made front page of the Drudge Report in '98 (under my old screen name - my real name). :)

That was a badge of honor, back in the day.

No idea, but when the Sinator decided to put Sodomy and perversion in order to placate his disordered son and support an evil movement ahead of thousands of years of God’s law, he ceased to be anyone who could seriously render a comment or stand in judgment on the issue of morality.

A major benefit of a Republican majority in the Senate is that Trump’s judicial choices should stream through.

Portman is your basic POS Republican from Ohio. I will not be voting for him either.

The Stern stuff has been out there for years. It’s a “shock jock” show. You are suppose to say shocking things for entertainment value.

Trump appeared on the WWE numerous times also. He was in the entertainment business.

Bottom line is this was years ago. Long before he thought about running for elected office. He was performing on a shock radio station while traitorous politicians were polishing thier resumes.

If you refuse to support Trump, you are supporting Hillary. Only a complete moron could fail to see that. We are electing a president not a pastor.

I’m still supporting Trump. He hasn’t said anything most men haven’t said.

He won't be getting my vote.

I too live in Ohio. Trump needs a majority in the Senate. Therefore I will vote for Portman. Strickland is a useless POS.

I have a Portman Yard Sign...may not put it out...

I agree. But you’d be surprised how many “conservatives” have no idea who Howard Stern is. They will all be very disgusted. Even though they weren’t disgusted with the things Bill Clinton actually did.
