I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
As Hillary Clinton went about the business of winning the second Presidential debate, her opponent, Republican Donald Trump, was busy auditioning for the role of ‘David’ in the sequel to the 90’s Stalker film, FEAR!
CNN’s David Gergen is usually very measured in his interpretation of political matters. So after the second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, Gergen offered his take on who won the debate. He concluded that Trump’s chances of winning the White House “evaporated Sunday night.”
In other words, Trump lost…again!

Here is something amazing, something you’ve never seen or heard of before – the President of the United States had to comment on a the words of a Republican presidential nominee, who said that he sexually assault women and that he gets away with it because of his fame.
While campaigning for Tammy Duckworth in Chicago, the President commented about the self-inflicted perils of Donald Trump.
“One of the most disturbing things about this election is just the unbelievable rhetoric coming from the top of the Republican ticket. I don’t need to repeat it, there are children in the room.”
“Demeaning women, degrading women, but also minorities, immigrants, people of other faiths, mocking the disabled, insulting our troops, insulting our veterans — that tells you a couple of things. That tells you that he’s insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people down, not a character trait that I would advise for someone in the Oval Office. It tells you he doesn’t care much about the basic values we try to impart to our kids. It tells you he would be careless with the civility and respect that a real vibrant Democracy requires.”

President Obama was seen voting early in his hometown of Chicago. I wonder who he voted for?
It took a lot to get Arizona Senator John McCain to this point. He has put up with a lot of name calling from Donald Trump, but when it became clear that Donald Trump was okay with sexually abusing and groping women, the Arizona senator said that was the last straw.
McCain released the following statement, assuring voters that he and Cindy will not be pulling the lever for Trump in November.
“In addition to my well known differences with Donald Trump on public policy issues, I have raised questions about his character after his comments on Prisoners of War, the Khan Gold Star family, Judge Curiel and earlier inappropriate comments about women. Just this week, he made outrageous statements about the innocent men in the Central Park Five case.
“As I said yesterday, there are no excuses for Donald Trump’s offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by this kind of inappropriate behavior. He alone bears the burden of his conduct and alone should suffer the consequences.
“I have wanted to support the candidate our party nominated. He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it was important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference.
“But Donald Trump’s behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy. Cindy, with her strong background in human rights and respect for women fully agrees with me on this.
“Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.”
If Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, is the stabilizing factor in Trump’s 1-legged campaign, then removing Pence from the equation should eventually result in a loud thud as Trump’s campaign crushes to the ground.
That is the hope of some Republican officials in the wake of Trump’s confession that he happily committed sexual assault on unsuspecting women.
Donald Trump could be left without a running mate as GOP officials may consider pressuring Mike Pence to quit the race after he publicly stated that he could not ‘condone’ the billionaire’s crude hot mic comments.
A few GOP leaders may be considering a scenario in which they would convince Pence to leave the ticket, according to CNN.
Former Jeb Bush supporter, Vin Weber told the network that he would ‘absolutely’ call for Pence to leave the ticket as a way to put ‘immeasurable pressure’ on Trump to leave the race.
‘Pence is the anchor that keeps Trump in the race,’ so without him it would be over for the candidate, Weber said.
Pence’s advocacy for Trump came to a screeching, perhaps temporary, halt Saturday in the hours after Trump released a video apologizing for 2005 remarks in which he describes his aggressive conduct toward women.
The Indiana governor was said to be ‘beside himself’ over Trump’s comments.
Pence said in a statement about Trump: ‘I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them. I am grateful that he has expressed remorse and apologized to the American people.
Tell us how you really feel Mr. De Niro!

Jeb Bush was never a fan of Donald Trump and has made his feelings known on many occasions. But after Trump made those deplorable comments about women back in 2005, Jeb stepped to his computer to once again, to denounce the donald!

Yes, there’s more.
In the audio clip below, Donald Trump and Howard Stern discussed Trump’s kids, including the sexuality of his then 24-year-old daughter, Ivanka. And apparently showing her the respect she deserved, Donald Trump agreed with Howard Stern that his own daughter could be referred to as “a piece of ass.”
TRUMP: “My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka.”
STERN: “By the way, your daughter.”
TRUMP: “She’s beautiful.”
STERN: “Can I say this? A piece of ass.”
TRUMP: “Yeah.”
If he can agree to a comment like that about his own daughter, can you really give this Republican presidential nominee a free pass when it comes to respecting women?
Senator Mike Lee took to Facebook to beg and plead Donald Trump to step down and “allow someone else to carry the banner.”
“I respectfully ask you, with all due respect, to step aside,” Lee begged. “Step down, allow someone else to carry the banner of these principles… rather than weighing down the American people.”
“As [Republicans] been asked to settle, we’ve been given a huge series of distractions. With all due respect, sir, you are the distraction. Your conduct, sir, is the distraction.”
