If they mealy-mouth it like Ayotte and say they "endorse but don't support" (what?!) then everybody on both sides laughs at their craven hypocrisy.

They should. Hillary should stick with just hammering Trump and she can let the self destruction of the GOP House and Senate take care of itself. Everybody has cast their lot with Trump who's running for re-election. They own him now no matter how hard they try to avoid it.

I'm not sure what it takes to be a Trump spokesperson, keep a straight face in front of the press, and still sleep at night. Brass balls? Soullessness? Craven abdication of morality? Sociopathy? Unlimited access to scotch and benzodiazepines?

Well, Paul Manafort consulted for Jonas Savimbi (terrorist, war criminal), Viktor Yanukovych (Putin's Our Man in Ukraine), Ferdinand Marcos (it's gotta be the shoes) and Mobutu Sese Seko (dictator, 30 years of crimes against humanity), and also for the presidential campaigns of Reagan, Bush Senior, Dole, and now Trump.

So what it apparently takes is no soul and a Republican phone directory.

With regards to the Roger Ailes stepping down amidst sexual harassment allegations, here's what Eric Trump said when asked his thoughts if his sister Ivanka was subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace:

Riiiight. All victims of sexual harassment - it's kinda your fault for allowing it to happen.

Interesting that they have a direct portal to Weekly Standard. Are they run by the same outfit?

Edit: yup.

Owned by MediaDC, a subsidiary of Clarity Media Group, itself a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corporation. Anchutz himself is a billionaire, co-founder of the MLS, and has the usual lunatic Corporatist-Christian agenda. Sort of a cut rate Koch.

Christie Aide Voting For Hillary

"Donald Drumpf has been a demagogue this whole time, preying on people's anxieties with loose information and salacious rhetoric, drumming up fear and hatred of the 'other,'" Comella said.

"Instead of trying anything remotely like unifying the country, we have a nominee who would rather pick fights because he views it as positive news coverage," she said. "It may make him media savvy, but it doesn't make him qualified or ready to be president."

First Jeb! had an aide say she is voting for Hillary now Christie.

Sally Bradshaw (the Jeb aide) is a big deal -- she wrote the 2012 "GOP Autopsy." And she didn't just say she's voting for Hillary, she said she has quit the Republican party!

These are smart political careerists -- the kind of people who have their eye on where we'll be in 4, 8, 12 years. That she has positioned herself as an Independent and wiped her hands clean of the GOP tells me she thinks the GOP is about to turn into a fireball, and if you move too slow you'll be immolated even if it isn't your fault.

It is as if a GOP "government in exile" is forming.

Laura Bush also said she is voting for Hillary. Hillary should do everything she can to embrace all GOP women and get them to endorse her publicly. (if she can get Barbara Bush that would lead to quite an awesome Drumpf meltdown)

My god, that would be great. Get Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, Karen Kasich, maybe even Ann Romney up on stage and announce together.
