WASHINGTON ― Multiple Republicans who called for Donald Trump to step down as the Republican presidential nominee over the weekend are now saying they will still vote for him.
In an impressive bit of rhetorical gymnastics, some are also saying that they never technically un-endorsed Trump in the first place ― even though they all said that he should be replaced by his running mate Mike Pence as the Republican nominee for president.
Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) and Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.) all confirmed on Tuesday that they will support the Republican ticket, even if its led by Trump instead of Pence, the governor of Indiana. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said the same day that he would likely vote for Trump.
Over the weekend, the four were among the many high-profile Republicans who dropped their support for the nominee, after The Washington Post published 2005 video footage of Trump bragging about using his celebrity status to kiss and grope women without their consent.

(50,986 posts)it strikes me how formally dressed Trump always is. And yet he advertises himself as a candidate of the working person.
There were a lot of things really wrong with this campaign before it ever got off the ground.
