Byron York: Will There Be a GOP Stampede from Trump [Evangelical Leaders Standing by Trump]
Washington Examiner ^ | 10 Oct 2016 | Byron York

Posted on 10/08/2016 3:47:48 PM PDT by Meet the New Boss

(snip)

As the defections were building Saturday morning, evangelical leader Gary Bauer sent a mass email headlined, "Gary Bauer Says Values Voters Continue to Support Trump-Pence Ticket." "The ten-year old tape of a private conversation in which Donald Trump uses grossly inappropriate language does not change the reality of the choice facing this country," Bauer wrote.

Franklin Graham, who has not officially endorsed Trump, wrote a Facebook post that seemed to suggest evangelical voters should stick with the Republican nominee. "The crude comments made by Donald J. Trump more than 11 years ago cannot be defended," Graham wrote. "But the godless progressive agenda of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton likewise cannot be defended…The most important issue of this election is the Supreme Court. That impacts everything. There's no question, Trump and Clinton scandals might be news for the moment, but who they appoint to the Supreme Court will remake the fabric of our society for our children and our grandchildren, for generations to come." The message was clear: Stick with Trump.

The Democrats and their Hollywood financiers should not be pointing the finger at Trump — they wrote the book on sexual immorality. And Trump’s 11 year old remarks are a flyspeck in comparison to Hillary’ last 11 years.

At this point I would welcome the Russians to hack our election and give it to Trump (that is if they even prefer him over Hillary, seeing as though he’s been steamrolling her and her stupid reset button).

Our elections are a scam. Democrats register illegals, cast ballots for dead voters, fight voter integrity laws tooth and nail, use the IRS as a political weapon to disenfranchise conservative groups and expect us to play by the rules?

Fvck that. They’ve basically declared war on us, so I say we too take our victories by any means necessary. Hack away, Ivan!!

Sorry for being terse. The truth is, or course, who knows? My bet is, I don't think actual voters will desert him, although fewer may admit to pollsters will admit to planning to vote for him. Have you read Scott Adams’s latest column about why this probably won't matter and why Trump will still win? It's heartening.

“...Sorry for being terse...”

No harm, no foul, my friend.

One Team, One Fight.

This is for all the marbles. Like Maggie Thatcher said - “Now is not the time to go wobbly.”

“...why this probably won’t matter and why Trump will still win?...”

Men say dumb things. There isn’t a human being on this planet that hasn’t said or done something stupid.

For the other side to act holier than thou, while THEIR candidate spent half her time as First Witch destroying the lives of the women who had the misfortune to attract her husband’s eyes and hands, is the height of hypocrisy.

And Slick Willy was doing these ON OUR DIME AND OUR TIME, while he SHOULD have been attending to the needs of the Country.

Whatever Trump said or did, it didn’t cost you or me or the Country on red cent.

Everything this Pants Suit clad idiot did has cost us and the Country money... and the treasured lives of some of our people.

When you put it in perspective... THAT’S why it doesn’t matter.

RE Thatcher:

An amazing woman. Churchill would have been proud of her. Hell, I was proud of her, and she wasn’t even ours!!!

I remember a time when a President, a Pope, and Prime Minister teamed up to beat an Evil Empire...

A lifetime ago, already. But we were there.

I’ve been getting a steady stream of Clinton political postcards this week all decrying Trump’s “treatment of women” at my home here in New Hampshire.
.....these, from Hilliary!

I LOL at every one I get, shaking my head.

The utter nerve of that b!tch and her rapist husband, it’s incredible.

Ever wonder why the GOP never fights back on the fraud?

GOP-e *fail*.

There's a very simple question for these inside-the-beltway types.

Do you want the citizens to show up with tar and feathers, or with carts and tumbrils?

Churchill’s mother was an American.
According to some here, that’s good enough to be a natural born citizen and eligible to be President.

My new senator (McCain) is among them. It’s pure torture that I’ve had to watch his campaign commercials every day since I moved down here. I wish his primary challenger had been stronger, the old guy needs to retire.
