It’s like the entire world has gone insane. Trump says some off-color things 11 YEARS ago and the entire GOP-e (who are all, no doubt, innocent of any such behavior ever) goes insane and demands Trump quit the race. The democrats - you know, the ones who routinely get people killed, sell state secrets for donations and celebrate every perversion under the sun with a new holiday - get their panties in a twist and... wait for it... demand Trump quit the race at once. The media, fair and balanced as they are, dutifully reports that the ex-Mayor of Futtbuck, Kansas has (gasp!) demanded Trump immediately give up this race and let the unelectable VP candidate take over.
They must REALLY be scared.
I hope Trump stomps the Witch into the floorboards tonight, along with whatever moderator(s) is going to tag-team with her.
I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them had been informed beforehand this was coming, although maybe not with exact details. They then behaved accordingly, mostly just giving lukewarm support to placate then and plausibly deny now their reversal as ungenuine.
