By - Associated Press - Sunday, October 9, 2016 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Haslam is calling on Donald Trump to step down as the party’s presidential nominee for his recently released comments about women. Haslam issued a statement Sunday calling on Trump to remove himself and clear the way for Trump running mate Mike Pence to face Democrat Hillary Clinton next month. “I want to emphasize that character in our leaders does matter,” Haslam said. “None of us in elected office are perfect, but the decisions that are made in the Oval Office have too many consequences to ignore the behavior we have seen” from Trump.

Trump, whose remarks were recorded in 2005, has said he has no plans to quit. Haslam said if that’s the case, he plans to vote for a write-in candidate for president from the Republican Party.

Haslam is a super RINO. He backed Marco in the primary and the state went Trump big time. Rep. Black and the Nashville mayor also stuck with him for Marco. Non of them represent the majority of the TN people.

Do you think these RINO/GOPe types are realizing that there’s a thing called the internet and it never forgets?

Trump voters will never forget this and our electoral wrath will mirror Sherman’s march to the sea. Our restoration and reconstruction is also likely not to be as forgiving and magnanimous either.

I might have told you this before, as my memory ain’t what it used to be.

BIL died 5 years ago. Was a medic embedded with the marines in Vietnam.

Thanks for your service.

He made the statement before the debate.

Now he gets to regret his remarks-not of twelve years earlier—but of one day earlier!

Let’s hear that apology, jerk Governor—waiting.....waiting....

“I was a gutless fool..I want to apologize to the people of Tennessee...please elect me anyway...”

Another one to go on Trumps foe list. The GOP establishment just keeps showing their true colors. I hope when Trump becomes President WE THE PEOPLE should kick them out.

Why do you think they are so desperate to prevent that from happening?

This is why the GOP must be either destroyed, or completely purged of these “guys”. They are wholly owned and controlled opposition. They are against the Democrats like the heel is against the face in professional wrasslin’. They are all on the same team, and the discord is just entertainment for the masses. If this were Clinton vs. Bush, Haslam would be happy, and there would be no real choice. #cuckservative took off for a reason.

HAS-LAM is a HAS-BEEN in TENNESSEE POLITICS.
Too bad. So sad; but contributing to putting the CLINTONS
in TOTAL POWER again is the action of a JERK!!!

mouth and REMOVE ALL DOUBT!”

If a guy is going to have a governor "un-endorse" him, Haslam might be the one to pick. I did a couple of searches after recalling that he might have been scurrying around like a roach hit with the lights a while back, and he does indeed have some ethical issues both personal and family-related, and that he has a history of being friendly - in an official capacity no less - towards things Islamic. The Tennessee GOP appears to be quite successful in running a stealth Progressive shop.

Obama cut him slack on a big scam his Pilot gas stations was pulling with his brother, the Cleveland Browns owner. Now he’ll do anything to repay the rats.

P.S. Where’s he been?
