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.

Wow so you really are a Fascist! Awesome!

[shalom aleichem]

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?

[MayflowerMadam]

Haslam wants Trump to step down?

Well, I want Haslam to step down. I’m in TN, and I despise this man.

[556x45]

Then why did they vote for him? There were much better choices!

[angcat]

He should worry about his Muslim problem.

[Lopeover]

Ha, ha, ha, ha! Are you a tool for the left? I want yo purge the party of Lincoln of the closet oppressive commie uniparty globalists.

[Craigon]

Trump's response to these traitorous GOPe fiends.. Borrow a quote from that WWII general who was given a similar ultimatum to surrender by the Nazi's surrounding Bastogne:

NUTS!

Worst In Cleveland they hate the Haslam's

Turned the Cleveland Browns into a worst laughing stock in the NFL have not won a Game this Year

Haslam should step down. RINO dirtbag.

[C19fan]

“I want to emphasize that character in our leaders does matter,”

A RINO who prefers POTUS candidates with "character" being the good loser, see Dole, McCain and Romney. Those days have long gone. We need a brawler and that is Trump.

[Pollard]

But he’s ok with a criminal like hillary?

[bgill]

Guaranteed Haslam has said worse. Another in the line of RINO hypocrites.

[TennesseeGirl]

Haslam's worse than just a RINO. He's a damn RINO. I've voted against him in every primary since the very first one when he ran for Mayor in Knoxville. During his very first term as Mayor, he showed his true colors. The globalists love him. The Democrats love him and vote FOR him. His only redeeming value is that he folds when he realizes the Republican majority will override his vetos (especially when it comes to legal carrying, concealed or open carry, of guns and switchblades). He openly supported the current Democratic Mayor who is a big leftist. He even hired her in his administrative while in Knoxville. DO NOT EVER, EVER, EVER VOTE FOR THIS MAN IN ANY CAPACITY! Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker are bad enough, but a Senator or President Haslam would be a NIGHTMARE! He and his whole family are Bush acolytes.

The Haslams have run the University of Tennessee into the ground since they rose in power. They pull the purse strings and call the shots. This rant doesn't even include his buddy, former Director of Schools, Jim McIntyre -- a cog in the machine of the "Broad Academy" who brought into the local school system a bunch of "Broad Academy/Center" progressives, was eventually fired by the County and promptly hired by the Haslams into the University of Tennessee as Director of the Center for Educational Leadership.

What is "The Broad Center"? Here's a snippet of a Washington Post report: A recent memo from The Broad Center (TBC) proposes a series of strategic shifts in the foundation’s education programs designed to “accelerate” the pace of “disruptive” and “transformational” change in big city school districts, and create a “go to group” of “the most promising [Broad] Academy graduates, and other education leaders, who are poised to advance the highest-leverage education reform policies on the national landscape.” I ignore any opinions Bill Haslam has.

I am looking for the “List” of the GOPe etc that are not supporting Trump after the locker room thing, I think I saw it here Saturday?
I should have bookmarked it.
That is going to become a very important list, it tells me everything I need to know about the elites.

[GailA]

He does not have a person to answer the phone and emails are ignored.

What is worse as a lame duck Corker is sitting in the wings to fill the seat and he is a bigger RINO.

[DOC44]

am here in TN and I agree with you completely.... he needs to go back to pumping gas.

[Verginius Rufus]

Haslam is in his second term. Not sure if there is a two-term limit in Tennessee, but after this he wouldn’t be the nominee in 2018 even if he was eligible.

[1217Chic]

Oh I think he was one of the many I cursed out on Twitter last night, along with the other idiots who weren’t going to vote for Trump....

[Mark17]

Thanks for your service.

Thank you bro.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Please do. I’m proud to say I never voted for the left-leaning imbecile.
