House Speaker Paul Ryan on Monday told congressional Republicans he will not campaign with Donald Trump or defend the GOP presidential nominee through the election -- and even suggested he's preparing for a Hillary Clinton presidency -- according to sources on a conference call for GOP House leaders and rank-and-file members.
The stunning statements indicate Trump's debate performance Sunday has not eased concerns among Republican congressional leaders about the impact on House races following the release Friday of a 2005 audiotape in which Trump is heard bragging about being able to grope women because he is a celebrity. Trump has apologized for the remarks.
The conference call Monday was essentially a discussion about election strategy until the Nov. 8 vote. All 435 House members are up for reelection in November, including 246 Republicans.
Ryan and other House Republican leaders told those on the call to “do what’s best for you in your district,” according to sources.
Trump is clearly a chauvinist and a dog when it comes to women, but why does Hillary keep getting a pass?
I love all the ignorant feminists who think "Hillary's a woman, so she cares about women!!!!!!!" No, she doesn't. Bill is every bit as bad as Trump in that regard, and yet she's supported him and shamed his victims. She couldn't care less about equal rights or female empowerment, yet people are somehow too blind to see that.
It's also interesting that Democrats ignored Bill's indiscretions for years, basically saying "We didn't elect him for his personality", yet for Trump, the same mindset and behaviour is inexcusable.
