In December 2010, I was a guest at a cocktail party in Washington, D.C. for incoming Republican members of the House of Representatives. I had lost my own congressional race in Illinois, but had made enough friends among fellow GOP candidates that they graciously allowed me to join the festivities.
Inside, there was excited talk about the new Tea Party class, about fixing Washington, about finding places to live in high-rent D.C. And there was also talk about women — that kind of talk.
Some of the new members, many of whom had spent the day surrounded by young, attractive, ingratiating, dressed-to-the-nines female would-be staffers, wondered aloud how they were going to avoid the temptations of being surrounded every day by such creatures.
The details do not matter: suffice it to say the language used was not that much better than the newly-surfaced lewd chat that Donald Trump had with Billy Bush on a live mic, eleven long years ago.
Not every man talks that way about women. But plenty do — in the locker room, on the golf course, and on Capitol Hill. I was once taken aback when one congressman praised my wife’s looks, in rather lurid terms.
Some of the same Republicans are beating a disgraceful retreat from Trump, acting as if they have never heard such language before.
...
If they are willing to lose the country — for that is what may be at stake — over a decade-old joke, they might deserve to lose.
And if Trump wins regardless, look out: he will have done it on his own.

Those who fled just showed the American people their hand. They were all in on it!
The were just looking for an excuse.
Much of the current GOPee is toast as far as The Base is concerned. Trouble ahead Casey Jones.
There aren’t any Republicans anymore. The GOP is dead. They are all “progressive ‘RAT” liberals.
If you speak out against Trump, I will not only note vote for you, I will vote for your opponent.
There is an ad to push over the next weeks.
Agreed. The globalist elites (left and right) behind Hillary are pursuing a scorched earth policy from here on out. They see their gravy train vanishing on the horizon with a Trump victory. This was probably their last opportunity to throw a few more twigs on a small grass fire prior to the Trump landslide.
If that is the case there will be a reformation of the republican party.
Clear, concise and dead on. Hope they understand the jig is up.
We were told by EVERYONE in the 90’s that SEX didn’t matter when then President Clinton was outed for being a Rapist and Sexual Predator. So What’s changed??
I think it’s more correct to say “Republican establishment types who never intended to vote Trump regardless of what they claimed seize on sad excuse to go public with their private plans”
Don’t let the door hit ya...
My 'concern troll' stomach ulcer is sending cryptic messages to my 'Trump in a landslide' brain.
I had rather face an honest enemy than have a false friend behind me.
