Crazy, but no surprise. They put so much energy into hiding their twisted morality behind the Wholesome Family, Purity image.

Just stage dressing for them, but they gotta make a big loud show of it.

And women are good for two things in their world:
Mommy in the kitchen.
Whore...(consent not required)

So, this dumpf fellow...he didn't just drop in out of nowhere.

My suspicion is that if Trump drops out, or is forced to drop out, the RNC will replace him with Ryan. In that case, the Democratic response should be, "for months they have been supporting Trump when it was very clear that he was a racist, bigot, and sexist for months, and they had no problem with it then. That is a direct reflection on Ryan's, and every other republican who endorsed him.

Paul Ryan just made it very difficult for other Republicans to even think of making a joint appearance with Trump, much less continuing to endorse him.

Ryan and his ilk still want to control every aspect of women's lives. No doubt Trump is the prototypical dirty old man, but at least he's open about it. I'd bet my house that if any of the current Republican congressmen had been on that bus with Trump, they'd have joined happily in the discussion.

Probably someone in Jeb's milieu got ahold of cousin Billy Bush who managed to liberate the audio.

This gives every Republican who has been recoiling in horror an "excuse" to run away from t-Rump without appearing to be Bad Party members.

They're going with "He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day."

They'll stick with doing downticket work and ignore "that orange guy" ... and look ahead four years.

If the GOP pulls their endorsement, then technically there is an Empty Suit at the Top of the Ticket.

If The Empty Suit Wins - There is Mike Pence (who will also be VOTED FOR) ready to step in. There is NOTHING requiring the Electoral College Electors to vote in an Empty Suit. In fact, they can switch their votes any way they want.

In this case, it will be Mike Pence over the empty suit.
