Trump: 'Zero chance I'll quit'
CNN ^ | October 8, 2016 | Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 10/08/2016 11:01:17 AM PDT by mdittmar

New York (CNN)Donald Trump on Saturday vowed to "never" drop out of the presidential race as a growing chorus of Republicans urged him to do exactly that after sexually aggressive remarks he made in 2005 surfaced a day earlier.

Trump's defiance came as his own running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, said he was "offended" by Trump's remarks and canceled plans to represent him at a political event on Saturday. Meanwhile, the third-most powerful Senate Republican, John Thune, a member of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's inner circle, called on Trump to "withdraw" and let Pence top the Republican ticket just a month from Election Day.
"I'd never withdraw. I've never withdrawn in my life," Trump told The Washington Post Saturday morning. "No, I'm not quitting. I have tremendous support."
He also told The Wall Street Journal there is "zero chance I'll quit."

Getting so worked up over something said over a decade ago is laughable. I would like to know how many of these self-righteous GOPe and Never-Trumpers have said similar things in their club house or on the golf course. The same goes for the MSM who are blustering and wringing their hands over nothing. None of these people should be throwing stones...

We are seeing the devil trying to divide our support, trying to create a wedge between Trump and Pence. This is Satan, the Accuser at work.

All of this to-do over nothing says one thing very clearly --- the only chance the totalitarian Left has in this election is if Trump is destroyed ... and not by the Democrats, but by the REpublican Party.

So although I truly want Trump to prevail and protect our Constitution and our Republic from the horrors of socialism, it's a damn shame the Republican Party -- this Republican Party -- will survive pretty much intact.

Trump’s reactions to all of these attacks are really building my confidence in his ability to be President.

Pence didn't have a choice but to say he was "offended". They have Trump's comments on tape. But there's no evidence that the cancellation was done out of protest over the comments. In fact, I seriously doubt it was. They probably just wanted time to discuss among themselves how to respond to the situation. As if, Hillary, with her physically abusive, sex offender husband, plus her complicit victim bashing, doesn't or shouldn't present her with a much more serious situation.

Trump’s reply might be:

“But I was very young and a Democrat....”

Let GOPe resign if they no longer want to be a part of the party and support the nominee.

IF Pence said this, he should drop. Trump is the nominee. Period.

Maybe Pence should withdraw if he’s offended. Having to make a choice might clarify things for him.

That would be a wonderful statement for Trump to make as soon as often as possible.

He did not say No to event, just that he would leave defending Trump’s remarks to Trump who has already apologized. I don’t see a problem here.

That’s a DU troll that has been spreading lies and smears against Trump for the past few days.

Read his slimy previous posts about Trump.

Needs to be Zapped for spreading lies for the Clinton Bush crime cabal here.

Thanks for the link with Pence’s statement. I am weary of wobbly Republicans and glad he is standing with Trump.
