Candidates is dishing on trump and having his zealots walk away from voting or voting for them....a huge win win for the democratic candidate and I hope they start running more ads about that

Now that some have publically unendorsed, it will give many more the cover to follow on. GOP took a flyer and rented their Party to an unvetted ego-driven buffoon. A real "profile in courage" moment for a Party that stands for nothing.

a guest on MSNBC said that it's way too late for these people. Anyone who ever supported this creep will forever wear the label "TR Republican," like the scarlet letter. May it be so!

Chaffetz is a committe chair, Thune is the #3 Republican in the Senate and Ayotte is a rising star (not that she deserves to be). Upton is also a committe chair.

including an editorial note:

Editorial note about this column: Mountains of racism, sexism, xenophobia documented long ago. If you stood by him after/thru those, you don't get to jump ship just when it's sinking.

That applies to people like Kelly Ayotte.
