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.

“They have gotten away with so much corruption that they will think they are above the law (they actually already do). The only thing we will have if she wins is lots of I told you sos. That’s really only a sad satisfaction, though.”

Yeah, I’m in Texas (God Bless Texas). My hope is that Texas will push States Rights to the limit and then push some more. Basically, just ignore the federal government and go about our business. The traditional way the Feds have kept states in line is by threatening to with hold funds. However, Texas is a net payer. Maybe we could counter by stating to the Feds “if you with hold money we will with hold money”? Let’s see what happens....

I will be voting for Mike Pence for president.

This is sounding organized.

Voting for Pence for president is a joke. You can't vote for Pence without voting for Trump, and vice versa.

Sadly, Trump supporters must hold their nose and vote for Portman. Because a President Trump without a Republican Congress is a losing proposition!

As the happy little rats with their new found GOP friends, the scumedia and all associated stir the soup with eyes wide open and smiles ear to ear cant help thinking what if.............what if this was all a setup by the Trump people to weed out their true supporters in the GOP, hook the gullible despicable SCUMmedia, leash the rat politicans and Hillary with a choke chain to pull at the Last minute. One can only hope! this would be the greatest political snag in history

Being PC is the only reason that a few people are turning on Trump. They just don’t seem to be smart enough to think for themselves.

Oh! You’re calling them bitches too. I scream at my computer
when they bring out their hatred for the best President since
Ronald Reagan.

These low-life ignoramuses are going to get just what they
deserve when the Satan worshipers of death turn around and
lop off their heads just after killing their families.

ID-10-T’s, that is just what they are.

I was just barely old enough to vote when I voted for Reagan to
be the President. I argued down the people who were listening
to the evil Demwits and believing all the nasty things the
left said about Ronnie and even Nancy. A viler pit of stupid
vipers I had never seen, and I was proud of the Reagans and
the great job President Reagan did during his 8-year tenure.

If all of that is true, then why did you wait until today to tell everyone that you're voting against these Republican "sell-outs?"

Since I don't vote in more than one polling place, as per the law, I am obviously not "voting against these Republican sell-outs." I don't plan on voting for a certain Senator running for re-election, but I don't plan on voting against her either.

Ohio Sen. Rob Portman Calls on Trump to Quit

I call on coward Rob Portman to quit, go away, and don't come back.
You lay down with stupid dogs, you get up with stupid fleas.

And you totally stink, so don't ask for my vote ever again.

On a related note, the gropenator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has joined the bandwagon of refusing to endorse Trump because Trump made naughty comments about women’s bodies. I guess the Gropenator only thinks its acceptable when HE does it, not other candidates.

Reminds me of when Anthony Weiner apologized to Slick Willie for “embarrassing” him by behaving the same way.

I’d be more concerned about Trump’s bona fides if Ah-nold, the Abominable Austrian Socialist Pervert endorsed him.
