Rump Dump Trump had a severe Republican moment earlier this when a tape was released that demonstrates his policies toward and attitude about women, including which feline parts of women he is entitled to grab, but Trump isn’t the only 
grabber.
The rats are quickly jumping from the sinking ship of Trump. But not so fast, dear Republican senators and congressmen. Trump may have verbalized his misogyny, sexism and abuse of women into an open microphone, but over the past decades you ― YOU ― have LEGALIZED it. He may talk of “grabbing” sexual organs, but YOU have created laws that legally grab control over women’s bodies. Trump may brag about his power over women; YOU, the Republican legislators (and your backers, the Christian Right and rich businessmen), have made sure women aren’t paid the same as men, don’t have paid maternity leave, or can’t get easy access to birth control.
Trump has been called “disgusting” for his remarks. But you, by actually blocking women’s equal rights, you’ve been rewarded for your misogyny with re-election, campaign cash and future lobbying jobs. You think by disowning Trump now that we, the people, are going be grateful to you. But we know that Trump is only the natural result of a Republican culture that has viciously fought the women’s agenda for years. Trump hasn’t destroyed your party; he’s your end game, the grim reaper from the seeds you have sown, showing up now to preside over your demise. Defeating Trump, or pushing him to drop out, is NOT what will make this right for the majority of us Americans. Like any good doctor, we need to remove the cancer from its source, and that source is you.
It is an assault to pay women less. It is an assault to block day care for all. It is an assault ― a form of apartheid ― when only 20 percent of Congress is women, the majority gender.
Don’t try to make Mike Pence out to be some sane, better alternative. This guy was behind the legislation to require women who have an abortion to conduct an actual funeral for the fetus! The rest of you have tried to kill Planned Parenthood and many other things that make life a bit easier for women.
Trump bragged to Billy Bush about his “grabbing pussy.” But those of you who are the elected officials, who have spent this weekend decrying Trump with your crocodile wails of “shame” and trying to distance yourselves from him, YOU are the ones who’ve been “grabbing” women the legal way by passing laws that, in effect, assault them. It is an assault to pay women less. It is an assault to block day care for all. It is an assault ― a form of apartheid ― when only 20 percent of Congress is women, the majority gender… [emphasis added]

As I have said all along, Rump Dump Trump is not the disease. He’s just a symptom for the real disease that must be surgically excised and discarded: The Republican Party!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Yes, you have said it all along, and yes, it has been true all along. And this latest tape may have pushed the nation over into where it will be effective to make that point. An argument for that: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/10/09/1579633/-My-dear-Kossacks-can-we-please-adjust-our-thinking-for-the-next-30-days
I assume we all realize the only reason the Clinton campaign has been soft on that point has been evidence from polls that pushing Trump as typical of Republicans doesn't work well. I'm not sure exactly why not – perhaps it is perceived as offensive by Republicans who believe they are sane – but it hasn't been working, therefore she has not been pushing it.
Now, however, with the Presidential forecast at 93% and the Senate only at 55% – maybe it's time.
I view it less of "the rats jumping from a sinking ship" – and more like "A Sinking Ship Abandoning a Rat"!
Great one!
I rate that a 10, Nameless.
Good one! lol!
The pictured rat looks like he's having fun. I most sincerely hope that Donald isn't.
You Betcha!
How horrible!! Like I've said…the GOP'ers do alot of talking, and wringing their hands, but nothing else.
It's all for show, nothing more.
Nameless! How apropos! The repuglikkants are a boil on the ass of humanity and Grabby RUMP DUMP Drumpf is the head of it! The only way to get rid of it is to lance it and REMOVE the contents! Just think of people like Pence, Ryan, McTurtle and the rest of the species as the pus that has to be drained to get rid of the infection of all the misogyny, sexist, racist and on and on to have a country that can survive!!!
Drumpf may be a rat (and not a cute one either!), but so are the rest of the Republicans. The war on women has been going on for years and none of the Republicans previously raised their voices. As long as their misogyny is behind closed doors, and they run in packs, Republicans feel safe. Well boys, not anymore!
Shared this on Facebook, it is sooo true! I cannot understand how ANY woman could vote for him or any other Republican.
What is there to add? Between Michael Moore and you, TomCat the issue is fully covered. Drumpf is the result of the GOP; mysogeny is in his political genes. The GOP can't deny his parentage any more than a man can deny fathering a child. They've bred him, now they've got to own him.
Michale Moore says: "As far as I’m concerned, there are 54 Trumps in the U.S. Senate and 237 Trumps in the House. You can’t make this look good by removing your endorsement from Trump. Yes, Trump has to go ― but so do you, all of you." May the American voters fulfill his, and our, wish.
Michael also ipposes voting 3rd party.
Thanks all! Hugs!!
No question, they have set the stage, and their last act is upon them! In that book they so profess to love, does it not say "Ye shall reap what ye sow?"
