Many Republican elected officials are personally outraged and ashamed by something their party’s nominee says or does. So they distance themselves. But as soon as they face a whiff of blowback from some in the party, they cave and fall back in line. -------------Voters elect politicians...

That didn’t take long.

I am looking forward to hearing who was behind it and making a mockery of them. Hopefully it will be a part of a rally speech.

It shouldn’t be so public and shouldn’t happen this close to the election but it’s healthy for members of a national party to disagree.

If you want to see totalitarian government - which the media claims Trump will bring - look at the Democratic party (and media). After
* the email issue
* the foundation issues
* the wikileaks
* the total lack of accomplishments that have helped anyone
* Bill, women, her role in sex scandals
* many other things

After all that I haven’t heard a single DC Democrat say she cannot be president. They must know
* she can’t be trusted - by congress, by allies, by enemy, by citizens, by media
* she may go either way with TPP (important to many)
* she may do anything with the environment/energy (important to many)
* foreign leaders cannot trust her (very dangerous for the country)
* she’s likely to be pro-wall-street
* she makes money-in-politics a non-issue when Citizen’s United has been a HUGE issue for them

There have to be democrat politicians who think she’ll be worse than Trump for their state (TPP, terrorism, immigration/jobs, obamacare, etc).
There have to be democrat politicians who don’t want her to be the face of their party for at least 4 years.
But they aren’t allowed to say those things. They must follow the rulers.

Damage Control. DO NOT BELIEVE THESE PHONIES. TAKE NAMES.

Fake, insincere support = NO support. From Ryan to down the anti-Trump (R) ticket, they possess ZERO cred. REJECT ALL GOPe! VOTE against them!! TEACH THEM A LESSON!!

Suddenly now some of these GOPe vipers now have had a "Road to Damascus" moment after being reminded of the negative ramifications of alienating Trump supporters?

BURY THEM in their own political caskets!

that he has “unshackled” himself and plans to “limp” across the finish line

Oh Lord, they wish that were the case.

Glad to hear something or someone scared them enough to fall back in line. They should be ashamed of themselves.

They were betraying the people who elected them.

Here is what I just replied to a self-serving collection of verbal pablum from Paul Ryan:

Subject: Re: Why conservatism?

Why have you refused to actually fight for the American tradition since becoming speaker. Specifically, why did you throw in the towel on the Obama budget? Why will you not work with Donald Trump?

The late Mrs. Schlafly was as true an American Conservative as anybody in her lifetime, and she passed away solidly and proudly in the Trump camp. But you just wring your hands, while others fight for our heritage.

Wake up and stop posing as a Conservative, when you will not fight for American Conservatism. Your platitudes in this piece are no substitute for standing up like a man. William Flax Cincinnati

Too late, rinos. I know those phone calls and emails must have you afraid you’ll lose your seat. But we KNOW you’ll go right back to being rinos once re-elected. No more!

Makes one wonder how many texts, emails and phone calls she got telling her to back Trump or go to hell with Clinton.

But yesterday during a radio interview she announced that she will vote for Trump after all. "He decided he would not step aside. I respect his decision," Deb Fischer told the Lincoln radio affiliate KLIN. "I support the Republican ticket, and it's a Trump-Pence ticket. … To me, it’s not a tough choice.”

I guess the latest groping allegations will have them running for the hills again.
