http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/republican-tv-ads-trump_us_580e34b2e4b000d0b157b24fsnip:
:Some Republicans are running so far away from their partys nominee that they are threatening to sue TV stations for running ads that suggest they support Donald Trump.
Just two weeks before Election Day, five Republicans ― Reps. Bob Dold (R-Ill.), Mike Coffman (R-Colo.), David Jolly (R-Fla.), John Katko (R-N.Y.) and Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania Republican running for an open seat thats currently occupied by his brother ― contend that certain commercials paid for by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee provide false or misleading information by connecting them to the GOP nominee.
Trump is so terrible, these Republicans are essentially arguing, that tying them to him amounts to defamation.
The Reich Wing reaction to being connected to their party's nominee reminds of the Seinfeld episode where he was trying to keep the smelly valet away from his car--"Get back, get back."

(7,004 posts)3. The TV ad in TX for Pete Gallego says that his repuke opponent Hurd waited too long
to try to separate from Trump and quoted his support for the wall and other stuff.
May as well play it safe but this is hysterical.
