No one should have been surprised by Donald Trump's trash-talking, pussy-grabbing tendencies after the foul-mouthed bully bashed every single woman who dared challenge his disdain-laden bid for the White House. But it apparently changed everything for New Hampshire GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who really thought all was just fine up until the Trump tapes emerged. Now, after a weekend-long evolution, she’d support him stepping aside. Josh Rogers writes:
On Friday, Ayotte called Trump’s remarks "totally inappropriate and offensive."
Saturday morning, Ayotte issued a second statement where she noted she’s “a mom and an American first and cannot support a candidate for President who brags about degrading and assaulting women.” Ayotte said she’d be writing in vice presidential candidate Mike Pence for President.
Sunday, Ayotte called a press conference in Manchester where she stressed her new position was motivated by her daughter.
So let's get this straight: Ayotte's been so transformed by Trump's statements that she's taking a vote of conscience—for a guy who still supports Trump? Wow, that's quite a stand.
Can you pitch in $3 to give Ayotte the boot and turn the Senate blue? The future of the Supreme Court depends on it.
Do you live in a state that will determine the presidential race and/or who controls the Senate? Get involved this weekend in crucial door-to-door canvasses and phone banks.
