Ohio Sen. Rob Portman Calls on Trump to Quit
Wall Street Journal ^ | October 8, 2016 | Reid J. Epstein

Posted on 10/08/2016 6:51:47 PM PDT by Pinkbell

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 party’s presidential nominee Saturday, a day after a 2005 recording emerged of Mr. Trump making lewd and degrading comments about women.

Doesn’t work that way. A vote for Pence on a write-in ballot is useless. A vote for Pence on the main ballot is a vote for Trump.

Maybe Trump should talk to Strickland and a couple of the other Democrats. Support him on taxes, a foreign policy or 2 in exchange for his support. How about re running 2 years down the road to keep their seats for the full term? Put it in writing.

Republican’s who call for Trump to step aside over locker room talk are LOSERS. They’re the same crowd who are petrified to stand up to the Clinton Crime Family and the same crowd petrified to stand up to Obama. They are why there is a Trump.

In Missouri, Pence was on the ballot but only under
Trump’s name.

yes, let’s switch horses at the end of the race. Victory will surely be ours if we do. Maybe we can run Mitt Romney again instead? because he has such a stellar record of winning elections for us.

Mr. Portman if you are telling him to quit then you are not respecting the people moron.

Have you seen the new recordings that are coming out of Trump being interviewed by Stern? He admits to having a threesome, said his daughter was voluptuous (sp) and more. He will lose ALL of the so called Christian support.

I still wonder if it wasn’t all a set up. Otherwise how in the hell could anyone explain Hillary Clinton getting elected president? They’ve known all of this since day one. The gop could have used it to stop him from winning the nomination. But they wanted him to win then they bring it out so Hillary can win.

When did Princess Portman become concerned about lewd and degrading conduct ? He supports fake gay marriage thanks to his Sodomite son. Odious, vile hypocrite and traitor.

“They are handing the Presidency to the most corrupt person who will ever hold the office. I’m done with them. All of them.”

For sure. If you think Obama has run a corrupt presidency just wait and see what the Clintons and her minions have in store for us. And, they will be so arrogant they won’t even bother with pretenses. They will just do whatever they want and screw the good citizens. But, there is a saying; “the people deserve the government they vote for”. But, what about those of us who didn’t vote for the Hildabeast? Well, we are just screwed, long, hard and deep....
