Throw under the bus makes more sense.

Thanks!

That being said, I don't think PP endorsement will have the dire consequences you're predicting.

Current supporters are not going to switch to HRC because of this endorsement.

Additionally, By tomorrow this endorsement will disappear from the news. I don't think it will have as great of an impact as you do.

As to undecideds and soft (persuadable) HRC supporters we just keep highlighting his strong record on women's issues and women's health.
