Ohio Sen. Rob Portman Calls on Trump to Quit
Wall Street Journal ^ | October 8, 2016 | Reid J. Epstein

Posted on 10/08/2016 6:51:47 PM PDT by Pinkbell

Ohio Sen. Rob Portman became the latest Republican senator to call on Donald Trump to quit the race.

“While I continue to respect those who still support Donald Trump, I can no longer support him,” Mr. Portman said in a statement. “I continue to believe our country cannot afford a Hillary Clinton presidency. I will be voting for Mike Pence for president.”

Mr. Portman becomes the latest in a flood of Republicans to have abandoned the party’s presidential nominee Saturday, a day after a 2005 recording emerged of Mr. Trump making lewd and degrading comments about women.

If only Trumper had made comments about sticking it in another man's pooper, Portman would have declared Trump a persecuted minority for his sexual lifestyle and applauded him for his "courage" in publicly promoting his sex life.

But alas, Trump made HETEROSEXUAL comments about his sex life, so Portman cries foul.

I rarely consider myself a "single issue" voter, but I make exceptions for "conservative" traitors like Portman, LaHood, and Peter King.

People are getting really tired of this crap from politicians. This is just cheap tabloid garbage. The monster stirs, he stirs.

This sure has a stink like they planned it to be Hillary all of the time. They knew these recordings were out there. They had to, back in the primaries. They brushed aside Bernie voters, now they're trying to brush aside Trump voters. It's just so blatant. People wake up.

Well, good luck. If Trump turns out to be a completely radioactive candidate, you run a serious risk of losing everything in this election.

I was waiting for this. Portman was a member of the Sea Island conspiracy. At least Strickland is honest about being a Soros sellout. My county carried Trump for the primary. Portman will regret this in my county next week, count on it.

Well, our grandchildren and their children will know and be able to identify those who knowingly sacrificed their liberty on the altar of political expediency and cowardice.

I don't think you understand, at long last.

Hillary is a criminal. If she's elected, the ENTIRE administrative branch of the American government becomes criminals, by extension.

The IRS, the FBI, the DOJ, the BATF and the EPA are already corrupted en masse.

On the plus side, the taxpayers will save SOME money - because "those departments won't need no steenking badges"....

You know, if they had real courage, instead of demanding Trump quit, they would resign.

That’s right. Hillary’s a criminal. The worst kind that breaks the public’s trust with back room deals, money laundering, and pilfering of the treasury. I don’t give a flying fart what Trump said on Howard Stern show.

You added what I left out. Princess Portman would be happy as a clam if Trump had said “Grab ‘em by the beans.”

You don't have to convince ME to vote for Trump. But then, I would have voted for Pee Wee Herman if he was the Republican nominee.

Having said that ... NOBODY in the House or Senate should stick their neck out for Trump if their own polling numbers tell them that it would be disastrous to support him. That's just life. Trump had no political background and came out of nowhere to win the GOP nomination, so he should be more than prepared to win on his own.
