"Trump is “still standing stronger than ever”

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mike-pence-trump-is-still-standing-stronger-than-ever/


Rossford, OHIO -- Mike Pence ignored questions from reporters Friday evening about leaked video in which Donald Trump is heard making very sexually explicit comments about women.

“Governor, how can you ignore this question?” asked ABC producer Ines De La Cuetara -- as Pence ignored her question and multiple questions in the same vein from other reporters.

Hours before, when the Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold published the Trump video, Pence was dropping by a Toledo restaurant, and pool reporters accompanying Pence were suddenly ushered out of the restaurant, depriving them of the ability to throw Pence a question -- although a campaign aide chalked it up to coincidence.

Roughly an hour later, the Indiana governor was striking a defiant tone at his Rossford rally. He proceeded with his usual stump speech including lines declaring Trump was a “winner” and standing “stronger than ever.”


This was all I could find about Pence and the recording of Trump. Looks like Pence is once again going to "deny" the whole thing. I don't really think this is going to work out ver well for his ambitions to run for president in 2020.

If he continues to avoid questions about his view on what Trump said, he is going to have a hard time "if" the GOP dumps Trump and tries to put him on the top of the ticket. He can also kiss his hopes for 2020 goodbye, and pretty much his whole political future.

So much for his declaration that he's a Christian first. No, he's a hypocrite first. A completely immoral man, more interested in labeling women as sinners deserving punishment and control, rather than him practicing Jesus' golden rule. The Republican party's support for Trump has destroyed itself for generations to come. They gonna reap just what they have sown.

I also read that a lot of the "religious" right hypocrites are still standing behind Trump. I think anyone that doesn't cut the ties with Trump, take back their endorsements, and speak out against this idiot, are going to be sorry. It was mentioned last night one of the news channels that every single republican running is going to be asked during any debates, if they still support him. I am sure that the media is also going to be asking every republican that comes on their shows, the same question. It's going to be interesting to see them answer that question.
