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.
"I felt they were disgusting. I felt they were unacceptable, and I never said I was not voting for our Republican ticket....

I’m confused.
Is Wednesday flip...or flop day?
Paul Ryan should be forced to resign as Speaker of the House and Congressman today!!! Ryan is nothing but a low life, vermin, traitor, turncoat!!! End of story!!!
Just where was the Republican outrage at the names Sarah Palin was called in 2008 - the c word comes to mind. Not a peep out of these Judas Iscariots or the media.
The coup backfired on these losers
Defected, defecated when he didn’t implode, and now come slinking back.
Fool us once shame on you. Fool us twice...uh..uh nopey nopey. Say goodnight and make sure your passports and shots are up to date.
Too late there RINOs!
You’re on the list! And it’s a big list! We won’t forget!
Indeed; and if this fecklessness isn't enough to convince someone they need out, then tell `em that these senators are provably guilty of treason.
They’re still @$$#013$
They're provably traitors (see post #30), if we were to give them something it ought to be a noose.

Not likely.

.

Republicans do seem bent on cultivating the image of themselves as smirking, complete asshats, huh?
Winds blow this way, winds blow that way.
Politicians. Blowing down the street like an empty grocery bag.

By their actions, we have deemed them....unworthy.
These Gopes need to stop acting so chicken at the first sign of trouble. It’s getting tiring.
The GOP is already on the precipice. It’s now or never. Get behind the movement for change or it’s sayonara GOPe!
