THE BIG IDEA: Now that it has become crystal clear Donald Trump will not quit—that he has “unshackled” himself and plans to “limp” across the finish line—some Republicans who called on him to drop out over the weekend are reversing themselves.
The senior senator from Nebraska tweeted this on Saturday:
The comments made by Mr. Trump were disgusting and totally unacceptable under any circumstance. (1/2)
It would be wise for him to step aside and allow Mike Pence to serve as our party's nominee. (2/2)
But yesterday during a radio interview she announced that she will vote for Trump after all. "He decided he would not step aside. I respect his decision," Deb Fischer told the Lincoln radio affiliate KLIN. "I support the Republican ticket, and it's a Trump-Pence ticket. … To me, it’s not a tough choice.”

And No Worst Friends than Republicans.
They are fair weather friends of the first order.
Well put .. and spot-on.
If you shoot the king you better not miss.
You’ll all get what’s coming to you soon, RINO weasels.
Their phones lines are melting with angry voters, that’s why they are flipping back.
I called Dave Brat’s office (not one of the turncoats) yesterday to make sure they knew that if he supported the weasel Pauly RINO for Speaker, he’d be Cantorized.
The staffer told me their phones had been jammed all day with calls just like mine.
Not knowing which way the wind is blowing is so cruel for the GOPe politicians.
What is so crazy is that this campaign is just cranking up into full gear.
The turncoats may change side five or six more times before the finish line!
Hope they enjoy the whiplash.

Ironic how many of those against Trump seem to realize that his wagon is the one to be hitched to if they want to stick around.
For pity’s sake, it was 11 years ago, and it was guy to guy ‘big talk’.
And the one fact that was revealed was that Trump struck out.
More importantly, it was “Billie Bush”, nephew of Trump hater, neverTrumper Jeb Bush.
And now it’s revealed that the WaPo and NBC didn’t ‘just learn of it and go with it”, but that Bush was saying he had it months ago, at least as early as the Rio Olympics.
Darryl Glenn in CO ended his campaign for senate by backing Hillary
HA! Pubbies have no spines when it comes to standing up to Democrats.
Apparently they can’t stand up to Trump either.
I have wondered if that whole thing with the tape and Republicans defecting was all staged.
First, that tape mysteriously appears. Everyone is outraged. But less than 24 hours into Tape Gate, numerous Republicans had declared they were abandoning their presidential nominee. Over a stupid recording with vile language, they were declaring that they can’t support their nominee.
It wasn’t because of ongoing political differences that they shunned their own nominee, it was over that stupid tape.
How the heck did all that happen so quickly, unless it was all preplanned and staged.
Did Paul Ryan and his boys know about that tape before it was released, and were he and his boys ready to move quickly because of it?
Heck, did Ryan or any of his people actually release the tape???
I smell a rat with this whole incident. The disproportionate reaction over something stupid, just seemed so over the top. It hardly seemed like a spontaneous reaction to shocking news.
The Washington Post demonstrates part of the reason why print media is in serious decline.
Limping across the finish line? He's dragging the whole reluctant Republican Party Leadership across the line. You don't do that limping puddin-heads.
2. Without wasting effort by trying to name the most contemptible Trump detractor--or diverting attention from the issues crucial to the very survival of America--we need to put into juxtaposition, the insane narrative of the prissy poseurs, as a class, with the issues that are crucial to any American future. Can anyone, that is any rational person, suggest that Donald Trump's mistake in letting a recounting of a sexual fantasy, eleven years ago, be recorded, is 1/100,000th as important as any of a half dozen issues, where he is for America & Hillary Clinton is not.
3. Again, not getting into wasting time, or building a specific barrier against any sanctimonious twit returning to the cause, as a reformed prodigal; we must organize discussions that compare priorities. The more that we focus on what is really important, the stupider & less principled the sanctimonious twits will sound--and the more certain their comeuppance on November 8th.
Damn the pseudo intellectual poseurs--for that is what they truly are;--Damn the liars & Damn the lies! Full speed ahead. Trump to the White House!
Trump has fired up the mower and there a$$es are the grass. These idiots are so clueless they are all over the road. So much so they spend a lot of time crossing the middle of it. And like my old granddad used to say: The only two things in the middle of the road is a yellow stripe and dead skunks.
still won’t vote for the defectors. They are Rats anyway
I tried calling the RNC HQ a couple of hours ago. The tone spun to fast busy.
THEY DON’T CARE what we think. They’ve turned off their phones.
We at Chez Boots and relatives will vote Trump at the top of the ticket and a few local pols.
We’re done being Republicans. No more ‘Washington Generals’ party.
It's way too late to take anything back. If you luck out just being ousted from office consider yourselves fortunate.
