Amid growing calls to drop out, Trump vows to ‘never withdraw’
Washington Post Red State Watcher Blog ^ | 10/8/2016

Posted on 10/08/2016 9:35:37 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Following the leaked audio recording of Donald Trump making lewd comments about women, several political figures both Republicans and Democrats have called for The Republican nominee to withdraw from the election. Trump responded to these calls on Saturday during an interview and stated he would never withdraw.

The Washington Post reported: “I’d never withdraw. I’ve never withdrawn in my life,” Trump told The Washington Post in a phone call from his home in Trump Tower in New York. “No, I’m not quitting this race. I have tremendous support.”

“People are calling and saying, ‘Don’t even think about doing anything else but running,” Trump said when asked about Republican defections. “You have to see what’s going on. The real story is that people have no idea the support. I don’t know how that’s going to boil down, but people have no idea the support.

“Running against her,” Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, makes keeping the party behind him easier, Trump added.

“It’s because she’s so bad. She’s so flawed as a candidate. Running against her, I can’t say it’d be the same if I ran against someone else, but running against her makes it a lot easier, that’s for sure,” he said.

[both Republicans and Democrats have called for The Republican nominee to withdraw from the election. Trump responded to these calls on Saturday during an interview and stated he would never withdraw.]

I do so much hate the rinos who call themselves conservatives and vote with the left as much as the evil communist left wing hate filled democrats. They all are corrupt and should all leave America for their forefathers homelands.

I’m sure those “Republicans” have been “demanding” Hillary withdraw for her actions.

Everybody has known for decades that this is the Trump personality and character. Everybody knows this is not the only film out there that shows the Trump character. This is no surprise.

The Chaffetz types are are not honest. They knew this would come out in october. So Trump is a sinner. Chaffetz is a sinner. God knows we are all sinners.

As president, who will do the best for the American people?
That is the question to address.

And here is from WSJ (excerpts only):

Donald Trump, under pressure to step aside as the Republican presidential candidate after the disclosure of his having made lewd comments about women, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Saturday that there is “zero chance I’ll quit.”

- SNIP -

Unlike in a video he taped and released last night, Mr. Trump, who spoke on Saturday from his Manhattan home in Trump Tower, offered no apologies in the Journal interview, but rather went on the offensive. “Go behind closed doors of the holier-than-thou politicians and pundits and see what they’re saying. I look like a baby.”

- SNIP -

Responding to that wave of defections, Mr. Trump said such a reaction from Republicans “is why they don’t win presidential elections.” Meanwhile, he said, “my phone hasn’t stopped ringing, emails are coming in and even people outside Trump Tower are supporting me.”

Somehow the Bush family is involved, Bill Bush is “family” and the “family hates Trump because he wiped the floor with poor little Jebbie. I suspect they gave the tape to Clinton.

FIGHT!

FIGHT!

FIGHT!

We have been waiting for years for a fighter.

I for one am happy to back this fighter to save this country from the globalists who have been scheming to steal it from the citizens by flooding it with fraudulently documented foreigners for decades.

The Bushes and the Romneys can burn in hell!

We have Obama decrying Populism and Hillary shrieking about sex talk in private!

My God, think about that.

The irony is lost on brain dead left.

I don’t know why Trump even responded to such nonsense. Now there are banners on Fox and CNN saying Trump won’t drop out which legitimizes the dem narrative. The premise is ridiculous.

Because the goddamned GOP won't shut up about it!!! The media and Democrats are laughing their asses off as dickless lickspittle Republicans line up to soundly condemn Trump over locker room comments he made 11 years ago.

I'm so freakin' fed up with this damn party I could just about puke!

(...That being said, any Christian who takes this bait and stays home on election day, or turns to a third party candidate, is begging for our nation to be destroyed on the alter of socialism, liberalism, and hedonism.)

That is so very true. I find them repulsive even though they call themselves Christians as they allow a greater evil in the door because of their self righteous attitudes and they are very proud and vain indeed. They remind me of the Pharisees of old who did evil but loved to pretend righteousness. They make a fool of themselves and give meaning to the old saying, “they cut off their nose to spite their face”. It is such a shame.

Where have you been?
In the first debate back in August of 2015, he had a rigged focus group trying to take out Trump then.

We’ve been through this many times before. It’s like we are back in the primaries when Trump called a person a p**** on live television.

These media saturation campaigns always help him more than hurt him. Even the nevertrumpers are back energizing Trump supporters again.

“TRUMP WAS SET-UP by Jeb Bush!”

Jeb!’s not nearly as smart as he’s been led to believe.

Chaffetz has some kind of indirect tie to Michael Stanley Dukakis.

Obama was smoking crack and cock in the bathhouses of Chicago, but that's OK. Trump talked about a woman in a sexual way and that disqualifies him for office. The media is full of lowlife scumbags.

Chaffetz is a well disguised Cheap Labor Express stooge.
He’s protecting 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws.
