To the Republican Party: Take your fake outrage over Trump's 'pussy' remarks and shove it.

Suddenly, the Republican Party is outraged. And what does that tell us? First, that the GOP has absolutely no problem with hate speech, racism, bigotry and misogyny. Unless it threatens their jobs, because the only reason Republicans are finally speaking up is because the election is one month away and they are doing whatever they can to distance themselves from his toxic campaign. Period. So they can take their phony outrage and shove it.

A quote from 1984 "We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.' it goes on to say "The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power." The outrage, and how they are falling over themselves is quite amusing in some respects. The "Breaking News" every time someone tweets their "disgust" and calling for Trump to step down is such a side show. I'm STILL not watching the stupid debate tomorrow night.

So they chose Trump. They chose Trump. I don't expect the right to take responsibility after they lose. There will be an intermediate period, and then they will come up with the new...?

It's years and years of lowering the bar. What did they expect?

Many of the republican men and women that ran over the years or are running and even worse have been elected... just kept sinking lower and lower with their rhetoric and positions.

Trump is the ultimate extremist constituent; believing or buying into the bullshit they have spewed forth and it was time to run because the climate they created has been made ripe with all of their nastiness.

Our country needs a long disinfecting shower.
