Beltway Republicans continue to influence nobody.
Over the past 48 hours, influential Republicans have greeted the latest batch of lewd, misogynistic remarks from their party’s 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 party’s elites, and are prepared to stick by Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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 doesn’t affect their opinions.”
But the most important finding seems to be that GOP voters do not want Trump to quit the race...

NOT ONLY THAT but our next step might be to vote OUT OF OFFICE THE 'NEVER TRUMPERS'... They don't stand with us - - there's NO REASON TO STAND WITH THEM.
I’ve heard of the
“Hundred Heads Insurance”
SNL’s Trump impersonator called Poppy’s boy “Jebra” during the primaries.
This has got to have the Clinton/Bush machine terrified.
Pray America wakes
Guys like Cruz, McCain, Ryan won't have a GOP left if Trump loses.
Yes, the only other vote I will do is voting to remove Cruz.
Yes, that is his ‘principled’ stance.
Under a trump presidency I hope there is a purge of the minion media
Cruz has kept his mouth shut?
We don’t follow the elites, we are behind Trump.We will not forget the turncoats.
No doubt he is sticking his finger in the wind to see which way to go.
“These spineless GOPe elite RINOS were never with Trump to begin with.”
Exactly! Many of them endorsed Trump so at a time like this they could make a game of it by pulling their endorsements.
Just like I thought it was odd for Ryan to start campaigning for Trump. His reason was so he could stop and get some media traction out of it.
It’s all a pre-planned game, the public is aware of it, and very tired of it.
It wasn’t Clinton or the libtards. It was the GOPe led by Jeb, Mitt, and Ryan.
Trump seriously needs to equate these traitor Republicans as being in cahoots with the traitor democrats. Rino’s
“Ted Cruz needs to get out in front of this quickly.”
...if he does, he’ll get Mike Lee’s SCOTUS position. I’m guessing ol’ Mike’s blown it now.
Yup. None of those so-called "outraged" GOPe phonies ever publicly campaigned for Trump. OR criticized Hitlery criminality. They were always non-factors.
So after all, what was lost or gained? The same identities of the political transvestites and saboteurs who've opposed Trump all along (i.e. McCain, Ryan, Chaffetz, Lee, Flake, etal.) actually support Hitlery. THAT is the Big News.
polls won’t shake out until Thursday/Friday..
My parents are sticking with Trump/Pence, mom said that locker room talk is just that and women’s locker room talk is really racy..
