I think it's important for everyone to stand up against the GOP. Frankly why did it take Trump talking about sexually assaulting white women for this to be the breaking point. His comments and behavior towards blacks, latinos, disabled people, and yes women were all out in the open. I realize hearing the words though the actual voice is more damaging, but we cannot let these people off the hook, particularly the cowards who refused to say anything and were willing to put a psychopath into the most powerful job in the world for the sake of what? Supreme court justices. And honestly they haven't learned a thing if they are all now flogging their support around that dirtbag Pence.

 

You know when Romney lost, the GOP acknowledged they needed to expand their base and become more inclusive and they did #crickets. They have now alienated every minority group that exists, alienated women all smashed to smithereens. And yet their lack of self awareness is stunning.

 

By the way, Access Hollywood told Don Lemon they have lot more stuff even more damaging than what we have heard.

Not to mention he was married and had kid's.

 

A statement from Ohio Governor John Kasich

https://www.facebook.com/notes/john-kasich/a-statement-from-gov-john-kasich/10153801616655933

"Nothing that has happened in the last 48 hours is surprising to me or many others. Many people were angry and questioned why I would not endorse Donald Trump or attend the Republican Convention. I’ve long had concerns with Donald Trump that go beyond his temperament. We have substantive policy differences on conservative issues like trade, our relationship with Russia, and the importance of balancing the federal budget. I’ve held out hope that he would change on those disqualifying policy positions, but he has not. I’ve also encouraged him to change his behavior for the better and offer a positive, inclusive vision for our country, but he has not. It's clear that he hasn't changed and has no interest in doing so. As a result, Donald Trump is a man I cannot and should not support. The actions of the last day are disgusting, but that’s not why I reached this decision, it has been an accumulation of his words and actions that many have been warning about. I will not vote for a nominee who has behaved in a manner that reflects so poorly on our country. Our country deserves better."

Do we know the source? A network, specific journalist, someone on Hillary's campaign? Could it be someone from Trump's team? I had to laugh at the tweet about the tax returns using the line from that movie When a Stranger Calls... "The tax returns are coming from the inside of the house." :lol:

Can't stand his ass but at least Kasich has been consistent out of all the GOP candidates. From day one, he's said nope. If anything, they need to start grooming him to be the candidate of 2020 b/c Pence ain't it. Pence will still have the stench of Trump on him even then. It'll never leave him.

I assume the rest of the stuff is coming from Access Hollywood. They were actually preparing to release the video we all saw when someone sent Fahrenthold the tape. Word is it was Billy Bushes cameraman. And rumor is Access Hollywood was going to release it with the Billy Bush stuff edited out to protect him I guess. Too late.

 

But my guess is there is much worse out there like perhaps a real porn tape with Trump full blown porn star

Of course GOP insiders are going to tell Politico 'it's not a knockout punch.' That doesn't mean it isn't. That's just what they're saying to the most consistent online press arm for the Beltway. Politico has always been used to float this kind of stuff. 

 

We can always find the most sympathetic Republican-narrative articles - many of which come from Politico - to try and support a preconceived notion that this or that will not do much to Trump. But just their floating it wouldn't make it true, not with the Khans, not with Machado and especially not now.

 

And of course he still has his hardcore base. He always will. But they can't keep the election from being a landslide. And they're losing women because of this. The fact that the lunatic fringe will still vote for him does not mean this situation is not apocalyptic for Trump.

 

Meanwhile, in crazytown:
