Support NeoGAF

[MJPIA]

I was waiting for McCain to do this.
What a day.
I feel like we need a OT to keep a up to date list of all the people hopping off the Trump train.
Theres been what, at the very least 5 or 6 Republicans unendorsing him today along with 20 or so Republicans who have been urging Trump to bow out?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I'm honestly surprised that this scandal is the one that broke the camel's back, for so many Republicans.

 

[HStallion]

What does this mean?

They'll write in Reagan.

 

[Krejlooc]

Do they have the disc? Time to do a clean reinstall of GOP.

GOP is installed from magnetic floppies, and those died years ago

 

[Lord Frieza]

"we will write in the name"

Romney is running.

Book it.

Romney was the puppet master behind it all. The Romney Revenge.

 

[Netherscourge]

Falling like dominoes.

 

[RoKKeR]

I'm honestly surprised that this scandal is the one that broke the camel's back, for so many Republicans.

I'm not in the slightest.

 

[SwiftDeath]

The last two GOP presidents are openly against the current candidate.

Hmm thought Wubya was staying out of the race all together?

I know HW is against openly though

 

[Salvadora]

"we will write in the name"

Romney is running.

Book it.

No, he isn't.

 

[Lucreto]

Excellent news,

Okay, what's different about this controversy that finally broke the camels back?

 

[Future Foundation]

“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.

So why the fuck did you bother endorsing him in the first place? Fucking clown shoes.

 

[Log4Girlz]

He saw that Trump hostage apology video and decided he didn't like people who were captured

 

[xxracerxx]

Romney was the puppet master behind it all. The Romney Revenge.

#¡Jebs!Revenge

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

The implosion has begun.

 

[commedieu]

Holy shit a republican with a backbone?

 

[oti]

Can the party still change their candidate? It wouldn't make sense but this is already so crazy so I don't know.

 

[mreddie]

Problem is McClain is a flip flopper and this might cost him his Senate seat because he has the tough election right now.

 

[MassiveNights]

I'm honestly surprised that this scandal is the one that broke the camel's back, for so many Republicans.

I'm not, Trump needed some sort of support from women and it's been completely eroded. They realise this was the last straw not only morally but also politically, so they've tipped the cart.

 

[TraBuch]

So why the fuck did you bother endorsing him in the first place? Fucking clown shoes.

To be fair, whatever you think of the reason, he says why three sentences later.

 

[echoshifting]

So why the fuck did you bother endorsing him in the first place? Fucking clown shoes.

To win his primary

 

[nabe_shogun]

I'm honestly surprised that this scandal is the one that broke the camel's back, for so many Republicans.

Or they just see it as a good opportunity to take back their support they regret making in the first place.

 

[broncobuster]

I'm honestly surprised that this scandal is the one that broke the camel's back, for so many Republicans.

Most acted like there was plausible deniability to his heinous attitude, words, and actions. As the very, very few trying to defend Trump on his new scandal have shown, it's impossible in light of all the damning evidence.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Holy shit a republican with a backbone?

He supported him for months. No backbone.

 

[P44]

What does this mean?

He's going to write his own name on the ballot paper, 2008 style.

 

[MassiveNights]

Can the party still change their candidate? It wouldn't make sense but this is already so crazy so I don't know.

No, I think the best case scenario for them is Trump withdrawing, leaving the top of the ballot blank and people voting for Pence.

This won't happen.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Can the party still change their candidate? It wouldn't make sense but this is already so crazy so I don't know.

That lady who writes for Planned Parenthood and others put it best.

You gotta carry it to term now.

 

[dave is ok]

All of these Congressmen and Congresswomen are going to be on President Trumps shitlist

 

[commedieu]

He supported him for months. No backbone.

Right. But a lot are wagging their finger without removing their support.

Can we agree on a microbackbone?

 

[DBT85]

While Queen were upset that Trump was using their music before, I'm not sure they'll mind so much if we start playing Another One Bites the Dust.

 

[Koyuga]

I don't even know why McCain endorsed Trump in the first place, didn't Trump say a bunch of mean shit about him some months back?

 

[HvySky]

Holy shit a republican with a backbone?

I mean, he (and plenty of other Republicans) did support him through all of the other horrible, bigoted, misogynistic, racist, and just generally hateful things that he has said or done, so not really.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

What does this mean?

It means he's voting for Hillary. He'll never say it but he is. They're friends and respect each other. He knows she's the best choice for President.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I don't even know why McCain endorsed Trump in the first place, didn't Trump say a bunch of mean shit about him some months back?

Called POWs weak
Said that they weren't heroes cus they got captured
Said something about McCain not being a hero due to the above
Also insulted the family of a dead soldier

 

[Puck Beaverton]

So why the fuck did you bother endorsing him in the first place? Fucking clown shoes.

Politicians man.

 

[DietRob]

None of these clowns get any respect from me for ditching him now.

All it means is that they are A-OK with prejudice towards minorities, slander of gold star families, tax evasion, dealing illegally with Cuba, ect, ect....

They are only now turning away because it's popular and absolutely necessary for them to have any chance of holding onto their jobs.

Fuck them.

 

[commedieu]

I mean, he (and plenty of other Republicans) did support him through all of the other horrible, bigoted, misogynistic, racist, and just generally hateful things that he has said or done, so not really.

For withdrawing support. As I said above, I think that qualifies for a badge of microbackbone, at least.

Others are just saying locker room talk, disgusting, but not withdrawing support.

These days I have to swallow that white people are fine with facism. Just like they were fine with lynchings. The bar is very low. But this election has made this crystal clear.

He doesn't get a high five. But a head nod that he's withdrawing support.

 

[Einchy]

Poor Ted Cruz.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

So why the fuck did you bother endorsing him in the first place? Fucking clown shoes.

Pretty much. It's better that it's late than never, by still embarrassing hr ever supported him. I mean hr literally shat on POWs and called you a coward. It's not Christie or Cruz levels of embarrassing, but it's still pretty bad

 

[TI82]

Here's a running list of Republicans backing away from Trump, in case you're behind:

http://www.npr.org/2016/10/08/49718...-drop-out-trump-says-he-wont-quit#republicans

Glad both my Republican government members are on there. I won't vote for them but glad they at least don't support trump.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Good to see. Glad he came to his senses.

 

[HiResDes]

He'll write in the name of someone who hides their sexism and bigotry.

.

 

[Beartruck]

What a goddamn mess. In any normal election, a sane republican candidate probably had a pretty darn good chance of defeating Hillary handily. Trump grabbed the party and ran away with it though, so now they're all fucked. Can't say I feel much pity.

 

[echoshifting]

For withdrawing support. As I said above, I think that qualifies for a badge of microbackbone, at least.


Others are just saying locker room talk, disgusting, but not withdrawing support.

I dunno, I think Ayotte and McCain are two of the first out the door because the math is different for them, not because of any backbone. They're still calculated moves.

 

[Netherscourge]

When is Ted Cruz going to put the phone down?

 

[The Kree]

McCain is a coward and an idiot.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yessss, its all coming down. Split that vote. Is Paul Ryan going to cave? He is losing GOP like flies. Only has his deplorable voters left.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Finds a tiny fragment of backbone, then throws his vote away.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Holy shit a republican with a backbone?

I think you may be giving McCain too much credit.

 

[Rymuth]

Watching this house of cards fall is a blessing.

 

[mnz]

This has to be the sign for others to follow.

This could actually be a watershed moment for the GOP. Maybe they will come to the conclusion that fostering hate for ten years up to this point might now be the way to go forward.
