Beltway Republicans continue to influence nobody.
Over the past 48 hours, influential Republicans have greeted the latest batch of lewd, misogynistic remarks from their partys standard-bearer, Donald Trump, with a mixture of belated revulsion and resistance, prompting withdrawals of support and renewed calls for him to quit the presidential race. However, it would appear that rank-and-file GOP voters are, once again, rejecting these calls from their partys elites, and are prepared to stick by Trumps side, at least for now.
Those are the findings of the latest Politico/Morning Consult poll, the first of its kind to attempt to gauge the public impact of Trumps now-infamous commentary about women with Billy Bush, who was then at Access Hollywood. This new poll found that while nearly three-quarters of all respondents had a negative reaction to hearing these remarks, there was a distinctly partisan element to the respondents reactions.
According to Politico, after watching a video of Trumps remarks, 10 percent of Republicans said the video gave them a positive feeling, while only 22 percent of GOP respondents rated the video a zero (very negative). In terms of favorability, just 48 percent of GOP voters said it makes them feel less favorably toward Trump, while 36 percent said it doesnt affect their opinions.
But the most important finding seems to be that GOP voters do not want Trump to quit the race...

Trump's words did not threaten harm to us while Hillary and Obama's actions have. And yet the GOPe want to throw the election to Hillary! That is an outrage!
remember Hillary’s strategy was to keep trump at a set cap.

Jeb to Mama: “You always did like Clinton better than me.”
most of those abandoning trump knew about the recording and had been planning on doing this for months...this group is the same group that is leading the GOP to irrelevancy....I don’t think they realize how badly they are damaging there political careers with people like me. I am now a member of the never (BUSH, McCain or Romney camp.) there behavior will be remembered . I am not a blind follower of trump in fact I see him as a flawed candidate but this attack on him is the height of political correctness and hypocrisy by those doing the attack.
The “gravy train” slurping professional politicians of the GOPe act as if they are appalled at Trump’s locker room banter with another guy that was supposed to be private...
They are actually relishing this...Gleefully trying to put Trump down so they can continue to live their lavish lifestyles off of us, the American people...
Ain’t gonna work, you disgusting, thieving Washington pigs...
BTW what did Obama mean when he “wanted to have some Pie”?
just 48 percent of GOP voters said it makes them feel less favorably toward Trump, ......................... Yeah, but look at the alternative. The DNC and Hillary wanted Trump, he was easy to beat, so now they got him just where they wanted him, and find that he’s like holding a rattle snake by the tail. Trump isn’t a Republican or a Democrat, he’s a Patriot, a people’s candidate, not a Wall $treet candidate like the embedded career congre$$ members. Hillary can’t hide forever behind the MSM smoke screens and protective walls. Our country’s press is like Germany in the late 30’s, 90% of which was controlled by the party, the other 10% was allowed to say what ever they wanted, but whatever it was. it had to be screened first by the party. Geeeze remind you of here?
Ted Cruz needs to get out in front of this quickly.
If Trump loses, God forbid, I swear I will never vote republican again, the elites are worthless.
this is actually a opportunity for ted Cruz to rescue his political career. if he stands against the globalists that are trying to lynch TRUMP he can repair the damage he did to himself at the convention.

Ted is a coward who wants the same ends as most of the GOPe.
Ted has no b@lls because he removed them as a child.
This one I initially read as "...not following Trump..." something, something.
I think this is on purpose. Why would you word the headline like this?
BOL!
That is great. The Gope’s are making themselves useless in today’s world
