CNN: Trump throws GOP into chaos



(CNN)The Republican Party is in a meltdown unlike anything it has experienced in modern times -- and it's unfolding just one month before Election Day.

Many in the GOP are reeling from shock, revulsion and utter confusion about what to do next after a video surfaced Friday of Donald Trump talking about women in crude and aggressive sexual terms.

New revelations emerged Saturday after CNN's Kfile reviewed hours of newly uncovered audio of demeaning conversations Trump held over a 17-year period with radio shock-jock Howard Stern. The topics discussed included his daughter Ivanka's physique, having sex with women during their menstrual cycles, threesomes, and checking out of relationships with women after they turn 35.

The fallout on Saturday revealed a party in chaos as dozens of Republicans either pulled their support for Trump or said his running mate, Mike Pence, should lead the ticket. Pence, the governor of Indiana, criticized Trump and canceled a scheduled appearance in Wisconsin on behalf of the campaign later Saturday.

In fact, the revolt of the establishment wing of the party against the GOP nominee could further embolden Trump's supporters."

Let's certainly hope so! They're doing such a good job with their party!

Well, it would be sad if the GOP hadn't been courting chaos so fervently for the last 45 years, hitching their electoral wagon to their Southern Strategy, knowing that it was bound to crash and burn. Oh yeah, and there were all those warnings from the dirty fucking hippies that they laughed off.

So no, it's not sad at all. Stew in your own vile juices, you assholes.

Haven't they ruined this country (and the world) enough already? I pray the doomsday predictions are true for once.
