Trump Supporters Heckle Elected GOPers: ‘You Turned Your Back On Us!’

Source: Talking Points Memo

Some voters greeted prominent Republicans with boos and loud heckling at Saturday events, after the officials spoke out against the vulgar and predatory remarks Donald Trump made about women in a newly unearthed recording.

“Paul Ryan sucks!” Milwaukee resident Paul Anderson yelled at a fall festival in Elkorn, Wisconsin, where the House speaker addressed a crowd, according to the Los Angeles Times. “You turned your back on us,” other hecklers shouted, breaking into chants of “We want Trump!”

Trump was originally supposed to appear with Ryan at the event. But Ryan disinvited Trump hours after the recording surfaced, releasing a statement saying he was “sickened” by the GOP nominee's remarks. The joint appearance would have been Ryan's first campaign event with Trump.

In Las Vegas, Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV), who's running to replace Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), also was booed loudly as he read a statement calling for Trump to withdraw and be replaced by a candidate “with honor” who deserved to be president.

Regardless of what happens on November 8th enough of the stupid
party. Everyone on that list is a globalist Uniparty shill. Trump is
taking on the Democrats, Republicrats and the Mediacrats. Time to come
up with names of the new nationalist, true third party we’ll be
forming. I’m going to vote for Trump and leave the rest of my ballot
blank. No Republican even down to dog catcher deserves our votes
anymore.

Inforgivable. The Republican Party are my enemy.

Sarah B, as an ex-Democrat I thought I was leaving them for good when
I registered as a Republican. As it turns out I never left the damn
party. Not a dime’s worth of difference between the R and the D labels
these days, is there? I’m beyond pissed at the GOP. Trump will get my
vote and the rest of the ballot stays blank.
The Republicrat wing of
the Uniparty is corrupt on all levels.

I take it that the GOPe wants Pence to be the nominee. Pence the
neocon, the globalist, the phony Christian governor who stabbed
Christian small business in the back? no thanks.


I always thought that Trump should have picked Rand Paul.

Usual crowd.
I think Trump will win, even AA will vote for him. He is one of them.

Apparently there's a scene in The Andy Griffith movie A Face in the Crowd where 380 dogs are used to see if the Sheriff can even qualify as dog catcher.

Hmmm.

Especially when they start crying about Trump losing, or better yet they say they want to move to Canada. Even though they have government run healthcare and the head of state is the family of the American Revolutionaries sworn enemy, whom they'll have to swear allegiance to if they want to become a Canadian citizen.

Teach them a painful lesson like how many DUers always love to self inflict upon our party!

Every GOP politician is less than 100% pure somehow, believe me. Punish those GOPers by replacing them with Democrats! That'll show them. That's how you make America great again!

Most of these ignorant asswipes never vote anyway. Most politicians don't want to be openly allied with these pieces of bigoted shit. Trump threw out the dog whistle and blatantly courted them, much like the reps did with the moral majority bullshit in the eighties. They have not dumbed down their base. Only the dumb or ill informed will vote republican. Viscous cycle. It will only get worse.
