The Daily 202: Republican politicians fall back in line behind Trump after defecting
WaPo ^ | 12 Oct 2016 | James Hohmann

Posted on 10/12/2016 7:55:24 AM PDT by mandaladon

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.”

Too late, rinos. I know those phone calls and emails must have you afraid you’ll lose your seat. But we KNOW you’ll go right back to being rinos once re-elected. No more!

This guy’s a piece of #### and I can’t stand him.

How is he doing in his race?

I know we always need every republican we can get so the 50 or so that are worth something have a majority.

but i hate this guy.

Isn’t it ironic Portman is offended by something Trump said 11 years ago but has no qualms supporting homosexual “marriage” where people engage in unnatural acts?

Makes one wonder how many texts, emails and phone calls she got telling her to back Trump or go to hell with Clinton.

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.”

“Darryl Glenn in CO ended his campaign for senate by backing Hillary”

Absolutely, I gave that SOB money after he appeared on the stage with Trump. Now, neither me nor Mrs. Catnipman are going to vote for him. He’s going to be ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED.

For all those fuming and swearing they won’t vote for Republicans because have turned on Trump, don’t be stupid.
We will not be able to get Justices through a Democrat Senate.
Just send the turncoats an outraged letter and let them know that they will be closely watched when the primaries start again.

Supreme Court Justices TRUMP everything else.

You are having a day dream. The senate is gone. Either outright or through another Jumpin Jim Jeffords. IF you want to vote for Republicans who don’t respect the will of GOP voters and stab us in the back every time they can then go ahead. I won’t be doing that. Marco Rubio will not fully support the GOP nom and therefore I will not support him. Turnabout is fairplay as they say.

Ya know what?

Just get up on Tuesday morning on November eight and vote for Donald J.Trump.

Just make a point of doing it. There will be long lines, so GET UP EARLY, and make sure you vote for the candidate that will.....secure our borders.
Thank You.

It’s not that difficult,I think.

Just make sure that you do it.
Love y’all.

And for you northerners, of which I am one of, please do the same. Vote for TRUMP! The last opportunity to take our country back!

Does anyone doubt me? Speak up.

I am very proud of Jim Robinson for taking a stand. So Proud.

I guess the latest groping allegations will have them running for the hills again.

Foolish assumptions and an inaccurate description of what happened in the Senate last term.

Voting Democrat will assure they can stop nominations. Don’t pretend to be a conservative if you assist them.

I live in a remote area (no tv); is there a list of these REPUBLICRATS and other public figures that have tried to scuttle Mr. Trump’s campaign (march to victory)?
I would like to see a list of these people so I know who to send the letters of ZERO SUPPORT to in the future.
SENATORS
CONGRESS CRITTERS
BUSINESS PEOPLE
ACTORS
MEDIA
ETC.
I get some from Free Republic, but I am sure I miss a lot of them.
