And we need to keep track of ALL of them.

If they try to encourage us to "forget" about this, and about their standing with Trump - I think we need to stand up and keep reminding everybody about it.

I started a thread about it recently.

NOT trying just to kick my thread, but I AM trying to build a data base. I'd like to assemble a list of these names. People who endorsed and then backed away, AND THEN caved back in. People who remained steadfast for him. Inside AND outside of politics. There has to be a price to pay for doing so.

It's not because they refused to stand with Hillary, or Gary Johnson, or Bernie, or Jill Stein, or whoever. It's about WHO STOOD WITH TRUMP. There needs to be punishment. There needs to be a price to pay for this. There needs to be accountability.

There should be CONSEQUENCES for having stood with Donald Trump.

No, I take that back.

There MUST be CONSEQUENCES for having stood with Donald Trump.

The GOP has one, ready-made!

I imagine a few jack-o-lanterns out there will even bear his likeness! And don't forget the hair!

My husband calls her Jodyanne Jerkmeoff.

This whole thing is just surreal.

Thank you, Deb!

Whenever I can, I do, too. It might not be crow, you know. It might be pheasant! Whatever it is, it'll have class.

Having now seen the video, my reaction is "Meh."

Her comments not only sort of get lost amid all the crosstalk and multiple simultaneous reaction from a panel that features three men to two women (we're artificially outnumbered AGAIN), but by the time she gets to "I'm done" - Meh. Doesn't mean squat. The way she says it is - TOTAL throwaway. She appears not to mean she's done with this, or with Trump. The next day she'll be back carrying the GOP banner and probably tiptoeing around Trump again.

When she's ACTUALLY DONE, renounces the GOP, turns in her membership in the party, declares she's switching sides and going to vote for Hillary, and makes it official rather than just letting her voice trail off into the rest of the crosstalk so you barely even hear the "I'm done" part - THEN I'll believe it.

Til then, she's just Paul Ryan-ing. Doesn't like it. Doesn't like Trump. Doesn't like the dissing of women. Or so she says. But she's probably still gonna vote for him. Because she's for Power-to-Her-Party over loving her country, like all the rest of 'em are.

As Walter Mondale once said, riffing off a popular burger chain commercial - "where's the beef?"

Hmmm... well, for me at least, I'd have to see what she does from here.

It's one thing to blow up on one TV panel show. But how does she follow this up? Fold back in and go along with it, and be an enabler for Trump and Ben Carson and the rest of these assholes? Because her party's more important than her purported principles?

I'd have to see her ACTUALLY change. Is she REALLY done with this? "After 20 years of defending these guys..."? Does she step away? Become an independent? Renounce them publicly? Throw her support to Hillary?

If I see THAT, then she'll have me convinced. If she can change, and does, then yes. I'll wait and see. Otherwise, no. I'm kinda with underpants on this one. But that also shows my own resistance to being forgiving of these people. I know from Catholic school you're supposed to forgive. And again and again, unfortunately, I prove myself to be unworthy. All I can do to find peace within myself and to try to avoid feeling like a total hypocrite on this is to remind myself that "I'm still WORKING ON being forgiving. I know I should. Still can't get there yet. So I'm still working on it. And I'm gonna keep working on it - because I'm NOT there yet." I find myself going through that argument with myself - A LOT, these days.

Indeed. I'm glad they're mentioning this.

I've been hearing, all day, from CNN and MSNBC hosts referring to the increasing numbers of women coming forward about Trump sexually assaulting them. "In fairness, we have to mention that..." or "to be fair, we should also say... "

"To be fair"??????

Yeah, I know about objectivity and all, and I'm totally biased, but BY NOW we've gotta tiptoe around like this??? Frankly, I think the press has been outrageously MORE THAN fair toward him. It's been undeserved since the beginning, but Good Grief they're still twisting themselves into every knot in the Boy Scout manual trying not to "offend" Trump & Comp. And by now - I find myself saying "WHY?"

Agreed. But maybe this comment stunk up the joint even too badly (bigly?) for her.

Even she finally felt compelled to say something.

I've noticed this is another word that is popping up with greater frequency to describe The Donald.

"Appalling." Along with "creepy."

Former Reagan administration official Linda Chavez was just on, this afternoon, with Chris Hayes on MSNBC, and used the word "appalling" to describe Trump.

My husband says he's heard another one being used more now, too: "skeevy."

First election I can EVER remember when words like this were used to describe the Presidential candidate of a major political party.
