Amid growing calls to drop out, Trump vows to ‘never withdraw’
Washington Post Red State Watcher Blog ^ | 10/8/2016

Posted on 10/08/2016 9:35:37 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Following the leaked audio recording of Donald Trump making lewd comments about women, several political figures both Republicans and Democrats have called for The Republican nominee to withdraw from the election. Trump responded to these calls on Saturday during an interview and stated he would never withdraw.

The Washington Post reported: “I’d never withdraw. I’ve never withdrawn in my life,” Trump told The Washington Post in a phone call from his home in Trump Tower in New York. “No, I’m not quitting this race. I have tremendous support.”

“People are calling and saying, ‘Don’t even think about doing anything else but running,” Trump said when asked about Republican defections. “You have to see what’s going on. The real story is that people have no idea the support. I don’t know how that’s going to boil down, but people have no idea the support.

“Running against her,” Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, makes keeping the party behind him easier, Trump added.

“It’s because she’s so bad. She’s so flawed as a candidate. Running against her, I can’t say it’d be the same if I ran against someone else, but running against her makes it a lot easier, that’s for sure,” he said.

I am rapidly reaching a point where I think that a French Revolution type of purge is necessary of all politicians down to dog catchers.

Yeh, I have been with groups of women speculating about men that make Trump look like a choir boy. LOL!

If there was EVER polling evidence about who is really ahead, this leak was it.

This minor incident has driven a lot of RINOs out of hiding and into the spotlight.

Democrats don’t care if Trump brings Bubba’s sex crimes up
They have no standards

They know GOP voters do and they are trying to discourage them for voting for Trump

They know they won’t vote for Hillary but want them to stay home

Amen. That's been my prayer all morning. The other one is “Let God arise and shatter the teeth of HIS enemies.”

Actions by thugs, BLM, gangs, rapists (Bill Clinton by example), drug dealers..., even GITMO detainees, these people pale in comparison to the abhorrence leveled at Donald Trump for making off color remarks concerning women.

He had impure thoughts I tell you! Are you listening?

Physical incarceration is no longer deemed appropriate, however the thought police are out in force. Don’t you think they aren’t.

They are judge and jury concerning Trump. He is guilty, and he must be punished! There’s no walking away from this without severe consequences!

Meanwhile, Hillary covered for her husband the rapist and physical assaulter, then had women harassed and intimidated to stop them from going public.

This of course was not something worthy of consideration by the thought police.

Hillary had 1000 FBI files on people. Nothing happened. One man had one file and went to prison.

Nixon was mixed up in one scandal. Clinton was mixed up in tens of scandals. Nixon was impeached and run out of office. Bill skated.

The Leftist media is so confused. They can’t figure out which way is up anymore, when it comes to moral thought policing. One man’s thought and spoken word character flaw, is deemed worse than a man who actually raped women.

The media thought a rapist was a great president, and worries because another man simply said inappropriate things.

LOL

We live in a three ring political circus, clowns running the show under the pig top.

If he just had to respond it should’ve been with something like........where are the calls for Hillary Clinton to drop out? I may have said a few bad things in my lifetime, who hasn’t, but I never...then pivot to all the things Hillary has done...even defending him and shaming women for her rapist husband.
He really needs to learn how to pivot.

We know NOW that Trump has ‘un-pure’ thoughts about women - like every other man since the down of mankind.

Well, except Brit Hume, Paul Ryan, and Geraldo Rivera... three men who NEVER expressed half this outrage over the rape of Juanita Broaddrick, or the abuse of Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey... Nope, those three didn’t give a damn about powerless traditional women... I wonder why? (just kidding - I know the answer)

I am worried that Trump will go after Bill Clinton's treatment of women, and Hillary's reaction to these women. That will paint Hillary in a good light, because most women will fight against the mistress of their husband. It is just human nature.
What Trump should do is post the audio of her laughing at the child rape victim on his website, and reference it in the debate. Go after what Hillary said in her speech just released by Wikileaks, that she basically lies to the public, and does the opposite in private meetings. Expose her as a Wall Street sympathizer, and open borders/free trade advocate.
Just don't go after Bill's women, it will create sympathy instead of anger.

Yes. I agree with your assessment. This thing has been blown way out of proportion. This is jaywalking compared to Hillary's crimes. Trump needs to put this in context without being stuck on defense.

That headline freaked me out.
If Trump drops out, that means the devil has won. Again.

Trump AND Pence need to stand their ground.

Yesterday Scott Adams (the Dilbert cartoonist) tweeted: “Trump’s bid for Sainthood officially ended today. | think he’s still available for Kennedy type jobs.”

I’d add that Hillary has demonstrated by word (as in the recently released Wikileaks emails) and repeated deeds that she is only available for Benedict Arnold and Vidkun Quisling type positions in the bowels of hell.


Agreed! I will add that we are not electing a Pastor or a Pope...

Go Trump!!

Was Scott Adams’ shadow ban for endorsing Trump lifted? He reported around Monday he’d been shadow banned, and lost all his speaking engagements.
