Obama piled on, "Why’d it take so long for some of them to finally walk away?”

“So I just want to make that point, because there are still a number of Republican elected officials, some of whom I know and I’m sure are embarrassed and say, ‘Wow, that was a really terrible thing he said,’ but they can’t bring themselves to say, ‘I can’t endorse this guy.”

The recording of Trump’s remarks, first published by The Washington Post on Friday, turned the presidential race on its head as Republicans scrambled to distance themselves from the reality TV star. But, as Obama noted, Trump’s true character has been apparent throughout the campaign.

“Why’d it take so long for some of them to finally walk away?” the president asked. “I mean, we saw this coming. He’s been saying really bad stuff for awhile now. What did you think? He was just gonna transform himself? I mean, I’m 55, it’s hard for me to change. I know at 70 it’s gonna be harder.”

“Now, I don’t think that’s how the majority of Republicans think, but this is the habits that you get into that create this kind of nominee. And now you find a situation in which the guys says stuff that nobody would find tolerable if they were applying for a job at 7-11,” Obama also said.
