Ohio Sen. Rob Portman became the latest Republican senator to call on Donald Trump to quit the race.
While I continue to respect those who still support Donald Trump, I can no longer support him, Mr. Portman said in a statement. I continue to believe our country cannot afford a Hillary Clinton presidency. I will be voting for Mike Pence for president.
Mr. Portman becomes the latest in a flood of Republicans to have abandoned the partys presidential nominee Saturday, a day after a 2005 recording emerged of Mr. Trump making lewd and degrading comments about women.

Not to mention, I would add, and “they” could add, that Mrs. Clinton is at least partially responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the ME. “Perspective”.
The nice thing about this ginned up controversy from the Bushes is that now all the fake republicans are self identifying themselves as fake. Americans in these areas should take note of who they are.
I’ll be more than happy to see GOP lose Senate..2 years and get it back..get rid of Mcconell. trump will clean house
say no to Portman
You just don’t GET it.
No vote for trump= Hillary.
You are TRUE republican... You eat your own.
WELCOME TO THE RHINO PARTY.
IF the republicans had stayed strong for TRUMP, this all would have blown over.
Just like the rhinos...TRUMP is now “ radioactive” to you.
THAT is the point! TRUMP is radioactive!
A few years ago the GOP had the House, the Senate and the WH. They did nothing. The democrats squealed like pigs.
Yes, the “read my lips” dirty, and very similar to their planting Cruz at the Republican Convention to not endorsing Trump “vote your conscience.”
And their high nose snubs at million of voters by not even showing up at all at the R.N Convention.
There going all out with “NOISE” to continue to attempt to distract U.S. citizens from controlling their own freedoms.
This attempt....FAIL.
Trump for President!!
Yep. I actually posted a thread on it. Not good. Listen, I’m still supporting Trump. We knew he used to be a womanizer and led a wild life. We knew he said a lot of crude things on Stern at one time because I recall different vulgar Stern interviews released by Buzzfeed many months ago. That said, the wisdom was that was his past, we aren’t electing a pastor, and that’s not who he is now. It hurts to have tapes and recordings coming out now that are crude and vulgar, and I do believe they will affect his support with the fence sitters and undecideds. I still think that is the thought now, though, that despite the horrible things he has said in his past, it doesn’t compare to the horrible things Hillary has done in her past.
They have gotten away with so much corruption that they will think they are above the law (they actually already do). The only thing we will have if she wins is lots of I told you sos. That’s really only a sad satisfaction, though.
Unfortunately, what seemed to be a good guy who had no name recognition or funds, lost to Portman by 70% in the primary.
Someone also tried to primary McCain. Kelli Ward is fantastic, but she couldn’t beat the establishment either.
Yeah, I’ve pondered whether it would be worth it to lose the Senate in the short term to try to get some good conservatives in there.
Do you realize how many “self identifying Christians” voted for Obama and Bill and will vote for Hillary?
Can you imagine the pressure being put on Pence to step down? And remember, he is a republican. I pray he doesn’t bow to the pressure.
I thought that at one time, but now I don’t know. Maybe they would just thwart him at any turn. Better the “enemy” be not from within.
It won’t happen unfortunately. Republicans like being the minority. Even when they have the majority, they act like the minority.
I just did too.

Portman is an absolute embarrassment to humsnity. What a poltroon...and idiot.
Who knows what will happen. Sanders voters are mad as *ell with the revelations from hillary speeches, and Sanders is still saying she's the better candidate. They might jump on the Trump Train, who knows? This whole thing is obviously a coup by the uniparty globalist elite to keep Trump out of the WH.
If the thinking becomes that in effect voting for Trump is voting third party, strange things might happen to voting patterns. Fingers crossed.
One thing for damn sure. An eleven year old recording of guy talk illegally taped and released by a member of the Bush Dynasty does not bode well for the future of any freedoms at all staying in place. Pray enough people see the light.
Hell, we used to have to go hunting to figure out who these spineless RINO’s were, now they put on sandwich boards and shout from the rooftop. Rob Portman is an idiot! Here in Arizona, the same can be said for John McCain. It is going to be lovely when Donald J. Trump is elected the 45th President of the United States and these boot lickers come a lickin’. Trump NEVER forgets.
