Where are all of the Repblican surrogates today?

I'm watching the TV shows and there is not one elected, or former elected Republican official out there defending Trump.

Not Gingrich, Christie, Rubio, Kasich (I know, he tweeted an anti-Trump tweet), not McConnell or Ryan. Has anyone heard from Cruz? Not Ayotte or Porter. Not Toomey. Not even Carson or that twerp from Texas, Rick Perry. Nikki Haley, Rand Paul, Giuliani.

Not no one except Trump's fellow bigot, Jeff Sessions and a bunch of paid nobody's trotted out to get slaughtered.

That, to me, says it all. The silence is deafening.

That is what they would have had to defend today.
Trump is making it harder and harder for even the right of the GOP to vouch for him.

Im sure all three are enjoying watching him twist in the breeze.

More than enough Dem support on display.

But haters can't figure that out because they're not rational.
