Pence drops out of Ryan campaign event
The Hill ^ | October 08, 2016 | Melanie Zanona

Posted on 10/08/2016 9:57:57 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence will no longer attend a campaign event on Saturday with House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), according to reports.

Ryan was originally scheduled to appear with Donald Trump, but Trump was dropped from the event in the wake of the Washington Post publishing leaked audio of Trump making vulgar comments about women in 2005.

Pence was supposed to attend in his running mate’s place. But the Indiana governor is "not going to the Wisconsin GOP event today,” according to NBC News.

Pence decided himself not to attend the event and was not uninvited by Ryan, according to a Politico reporter. Trump's campaign is under siege from Republicans on Saturday in the wake of the leaked audio. Four GOP senators have called for him to leave the party's presidential ticket, another said she won't vote for him, and two House members unendorsed him.

Trump has youngest son Barron, taking notes of those who have been disloyal to his father.

toxic only because most voters are more lemming than actual educated voter.

If it hurts down ballot it’s a sign the state and local people are not connected with their constituents to a degree where federal issues don’t sway local loyalty.

That’s how much our backs are against the wall.

There was a disco song with a duo singing "when our backs are against the wall"

Similar to the theme by Mike and the Mechanics

"I'm with the high command"

I’m sure when Trump made those statements eleven long years ago, he thot’ he, too, was out of ear shot. This is just one “dirty trick” among many Hillary has up her sleeve, and I predict we’ll be seeing more of the same. Consider the source.

Just heard that Jason Chaffez is whining that “he just can’t vote for Trump”. his little virgin ears couldn’t take it. God the republicans make me want to vomit.

Yup. He’s another empty suit who never got his hands dirty actually DOING something in the private sector.

Could simply be damage control meetings. Could be something more serious although from what I read it is almost impossible at this point to make any changes to the ticket. Just doubt it was meant to put Ryan in his place.

Your sentiments are politically correct, but just exactly what did Trump say 11 years ago that was so disturbing and inappropriate?

Please watch the actual video so you can see what Trump actually said in context, and what he actually did.

A bunch of guys are talking on a bus, like many guys talk. It wasn't disturbing or inappropriate when it was recorded.

Who were the senators calling for Trump's recusal?

Mike Crapo (R-Idaho)
Mike Lee (R-Utah)
Mark Kirk (R-Ill.)
Ben Sasse (R-Neb.)

And some reps. too
Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah)
Martha Roby (R-Ala.)

Kelly just dropped her endorsement, which meant nothing anyway. She needs 100% of the NH Trump voters to hold her seat. Too bad she just lot a lot of them.
Kelly Ayotte (R-NH)
