Two Republican senators who turned against Donald Trump after the release of a damning 2005 video appear to have reversed their positions.
The first to do was Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska, who had called for Trump to step aside and cede the GOP nomination to his running mate, Gov. Mike Pence. She now says she will vote for Trump.
"I plan to vote for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence on Nov. 8," she said Tuesday on Lincoln radio station KLIN.
"I put out a statement ... with regard to Mr. Trump's comments," she said of her initial response to the video, in which Trump boasts of grabbing women without their consent.

F—k ‘em anyway!!! Vote them OUT!!!

Oh please...who needs ya

She is another tea-party flash in the pan who sounds great until they get to DC and then become idiots. But at least she had the sense to recover, unlike some others.
They act like a bunch of junior high students. They need to be put in their place. This back and forth is crazy.
Turncoats all around, especially Thune, VOTE THEM ALL OUT. . . .weaklings.
I didn’t get a harrumph from that gal!
To Hell with the GOP.
...after they are voted OUT.
And to think that’s the kind of support a President Trump can expect from the Republicans in Congress. He had better watch his back.

so much for these Profiles in Courage.

Oh, yeah... :)
Primary them next time if they somehow manage to win this year.
