Donald Trump Is Exposed, And So Are the Republicans Who Are Sticking With Him
They had their chance.
Republican leaders had every opportunity to dump Donald Trump. To fully vet him and respond to his ever-growing collection of vile, hyper-misogynistic, racist vitriol. They failed to do it.
Conservative voters across the land had ample opportunity to walk into a ballot box and renounce him. They failed to do it.
With few exceptions, Republicans stood, however reluctantly, behind a flawed candidate who they must have known had more skeletons in his gilded closest than a county morgue. Of course, there were several voices who were courageous enough to challenge the former television personality, but none of them had the political might nor the financial heft to combat the string of conservative standard bearers– on talk radio and cable news—who circled the wagons around Trump. Political naysayers were laughed off as “cucks” and “RINOs” as Trump kept on winning.
And now, with 30 days left in activate campaigning, Trump is hobbling to the finish line—weighed down by a cavalcade of controversies, including a 2005 videotape made public Friday of him making gross, sexual remarks about a soap opera actress and a married E! host. “I moved on her like a bitch,” he said of his unsuccessful quest to sleep with a married woman, who he later reportedly tried to fire because of how she looked while pregnant.
Party leaders are said to be convening a high-level meeting in D.C. to discuss their options, according to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, including preparing for the possibility that Trump might voluntarily drop out of the race. RNC rules permit the removal of a candidate, but it’s too late for that now and Trump won’t step down. “GOPers looked at ballot rules on replacing Trump during the Khan meltdown,” tweeted “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd, referring to the prolonged dust-up with a Gold Star family. “Bottom line: If he didn’t vacate by Sept. 1, they were stuck.”
Mired in his own morass of bankruptcies and vanity-driven profiteering schemes, as well as an apparent inability to maintain any semblance of message discipline, both his business acumen and personal character have been called into question.
He has proven, time and time again—with his verbal assaults against women, racial and religious minorities– that he isn’t interested in big tent politics and he isn’t interested in growing his party or the conservative movement, let alone in governing. For him, the White House is simply another quality address—a chance to throw fabulous State Dinners in honor of foreign leaders, to command the comings and goings of Air Force One and extend invitations for sleep-overs in the Lincoln Bedroom.
The race was over before it started.
Friday’s revelation that Trump was caught on a “hot mic,” making repulsive, salacious comments about a woman he’d never met, sealed the deal. There is simply no way to spin remarks about “grabbing” a woman “by the pussy.” There is no explanation for trumpeting his celebrity as a free pass to force himself on a woman. “When you’re a star, they let you do it,” he was caught telling Access Hollywood host Billy Bush.
“I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it,” Trump said at another point in the now infamous, leaked video. “I did try and fuck her. She was married.”
For his part, the real estate magnate issued a half-baked apology and attributed it all to “locker room banter.”
“If anyone was offended…”
