Ex-VP Dan Quayle: GOP should rally behind Donald Trump

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-vp-dan-quayle-republicans-000000832.html

Former Vice President Dan Quayle said Thursday that he is standing behind Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

“Look, I was the Republican vice president. And I’ve been a Republican all my life. I’m going to support the nominee,” Quayle said on NBC’s “Today” show....

“I predict that most people in my position — or people that have been in the Republican Party for a long time — will rally around the nominee,” Quayle said on “Today.”

“I fully expect that Paul Ryan will eventually support Donald Trump publicly. I hope that happens because we do have to be unified,” he continued.


Too bad he's not eligible to be Trump's VP. Pure comedy gold!

I thought people who'd already served two terms as President or VP were ineligible for either. KamaAina May 2016 #5

Still, I don't want him anywhere near the Executive Branch.

I'm not surprised by what this asshole said. I'm just surprised than anyone cares. It's amazing that they had to dig back that far to find someone of any consequence who supports the vulgar talking yam.
