| GOP voters want the party to stand by Trump |
| 2016-10-09 |
| h/t Instapundit - [Politico] A wave of Republican officials abandoned Donald Trump on Saturday, but, at least for now, rank-and-file Republicans are standing by the party's presidential candidate, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll conducted immediately after audio was unearthed Friday that had the GOP nominee crudely bragging about groping women and trying to lure a married woman into an affair. Overall, fewer than four-in-10 voters -- 39 percent -- think Trump should end his presidential campaign, while only slightly more voters, 45 percent, think he should not drop out. Anybody who ever happened to overhear girls' talk, knows we males are shy and modest creatures. |

| #6 Any one who spent more than 3 seconds reflecting on who Trump is and who the Dems are knew this sort of thing was coming. Keep your feigned shock and surprise to yourself. That said, replacing him now would be just as stupid as nominating him in the first place. We picked this horse. Now we get to ride it. |

| #5 If we cannot learn vicariously using our intellect, we will have to learn the hard way. Welcome to the fourth turning and the crisis. |

| #4 Fuck the GOP they need to die. They don't represent anyone. |

| #3 I fear you are right AP. Neither candidate will be able to drastically reduce entitlement spending or the size of government. Not enough altitude remaining. |

| #2 In the long run it won't matter. The Hildabeest will complete the destruction of this country internal and foreign policy. Trump, even if he wins, will be opposed by both RINOS and dems. The elephant in the room is unbridled spending by congress. This country is bankrupt just not insolvent yet. Nobody talks about this. The country is still on the same trajectory to insolvency. We are heading the same direction as Venezuela and not a peep from anyone. |

| #1 ...As I see it (IMHO, YMMV), here's the choice the Party leadership has right now: 1. They can continue to support Trump and lose the election, blame it on the 'idiot voters' and start planning a comeback for 2020. 2. They can pull their support for Trump (he'll NEVER quit on his own, and Pence won't lead a coup) and lose the election - but in this case, the 'idiot voters' will pretty much give up on the GOP and it will pretty much never compete at the Presidential level again.
