Donald Trump’s Loyalists Aren’t Fleeing the Latest Storm
NY Times ^ | October 9, 2016 | Evan Halper and Chris Megerian

To any number of Americans, the lewd, three-minute tape, and the Republican candidate’s halfhearted apologies, were the final straw. The 2008 Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, and 35 other party leaders publicly rejected his candidacy.

But not Kelly Glenn. I met Ms. Glenn, who helps run her vast family ranch along Arizona’s border with Mexico, on a recent reporting trip exploring Mr. Trump’s ideas about immigration, and she was one of several Trump supporters I called over the weekend to see how the tape was playing.

“Shame on him,” she said. “The fact he has no control over his mouth is distressing.” Distressing but not deal killing. Ms. Glenn said she would still vote for Trump. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to let Hillary Clinton take my gun,” she said.

That’s the kind of thing I’ve heard time and again since arriving in America this summer to cover this campaign from the perspective of a foreign correspondent.

The money quote:

"Ms. Glenn said she would still vote for Trump. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to let Hillary Clinton take my gun,” she said."

Something to remember. VOTE for Trump. Anything else just helps Hillary become President, with all the consequences.

Remember to wear red when you get in the Poling lines. The images of season read going to vote will help prevent a stolen election.

If it works and saves he day, expect to see elections in the future where they make you strip down and wear hospital gowns.

That was a surreptitiously taken tape too, wasn’t it? It’s not like Donald had orated that bit of locker room braggadocio for posterity.

Donald’s regrets were themselves damning to his opposition. Like why did you just treat the whole country to that? Well OK if you must. Now Donald is reminding the whole country of the Clinton’s PUBLIC record, something that wasn’t confidential at all.
