All that matters is for Democrats and liberals to vote in enough numbers to sweep out the GOP and make what they say and do irrelevant. They don't denounce Trump because the Deplorables will come to them eventually. Trump is the Republican candidate. The GOP won't change until they are absolutely powerless. And Democrats won't become powerful unless they take it.

I don't care anymore what the GOP says and does. Fuck them. I care what Democrats say and do.

I believe the real problem is the divide we have among American people today. Also, the intent of my question is about each political party's obligation to the country and to the people. I respect your right to the opinion you stated and after everything that has transpired I understand where you are coming from. Yet, how can all of us, every American get beyond our anger and our judgment in order to do what is best for the country?

and balances. The article stated that Republicans have accepted the idea of a Clinton victory and are stressing how important checks and balances will be.

Imagine that! The Party that has obstructed everything. The Party of "NO" now wants to talk about checks and balances. Interesting. And what is more interesting is what will happen if Republicans lose their majority positions. What will they do then? And more importantly, what will Democrats do not to fall into the same abuse of power trap?

loyalty to party or actions on behalf of same.

There aren't any laws requiring politicians to endorse politicians or warn voters of an evil candidate's intentions. If the current GOP leadership and politicians refuse to denounce Trump there is nothing that can be done except at the ballot box. The system was designed so that most decisions would be made at the ballot box rather than through legislation.


What we CAN do is try to force Republicans to take a public stand on Trump. Endorse or denounce. In or out. Republicans are trying to have it both ways. They need the Trump supporters to be reelected, but they don't want the stink he brings with him. KO and others are trying to force Republicans into making public their opinions on Trump because either way it hurts them.

about Republicans wanting to have things both ways. I think staying silent and not denouncing Donald will hurt them and speaking out and denouncing Donald would hurt them too. A catch 22 that they created for themselves. A no win situation. Especially now with things looking very bad for Donald and the Republican down ballot candidates.

the republicons own trump's mess lock, stock and barrel. They are 100% morally responsible for him and his followers. it matters not if they condemn him, stay silent or support him, he IS their monster.

They have cultivated their voters to think trump is their man. Trump does not hold any positions that any of the R candidates and their voters don't agree with. He just refuses to say welfare queen and says what they all think when they hear that term: lazy blacks.

They can give 2 shits about ISIS, they just want to " bomb, bomb, bomb........ bomb, bomb Iran"

The ungrateful little fuckers claim they hate Obama because of the economy. Conveniently forgetting where we were when he 1st took office and the unprecedented amount of R filibusters when the Democrats had Congress. When the R's gained control they refused to bring any bill up that would help the economy. So yes it boils down to a black person is President. The R's encouraged the teabaggers, the alt right, the militia and everything else to join them.

They can not claim they bear no responsibility for their mess. But as usual, women and Democrats will bail the ungrateful asses out and vote for Clinton.

If they don't think of the bills, they hope the bills will just go away!

Not very grown-up, but there you have it! Shows they have poor character and are very weak.

A few pulled back their endorsements but that was only when they thought he would affect their present or future races. So they were just opportunistic spineless worms. Loyalty to the gop was never a issue for them. It was all self serving bs from the start.
