And again the party of "personal responsibility" isn't taking responsibility for the "creation" of Trump by handing over the reigns of their party to the racist xenophobes in 2010.

They sold their soul for one winning election cycle and they've been trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube since.

so she hasn't dropped him.

She was proposed as a VP choice. She turned it down. Baby Donny went on a foul mouthed tirade about her. No one here has forgotten that.
