OK Paul Ryan

Are you still going to be seen with Trump in Wisconsin after this new tape came out? Are any of those who are now supporting Trump going to stand up and say they no longer will support him because of what he said?

This is going to be a real test for the GOP. Stand by him or condemn him, what will they do?

The man shown for what he really is, a dirty old man.

Ryan will be booed.

I want to see the Republican Party try to convince everyone that it's okay for Trump to talk like that so that we can win the down ticket races as well.

Ryan may be too slimy to be trapped. He will try to rebrand himself.

That solves the immediate problem for all, and is better for Trump than everybody else bailing on him if he shows up.

And the sooner the better if he doesn't want to go down with the ship. I still think Ryan wants to run for president, not getting out in from the this won't help him.

I also wonder how many other Trump supporters in congress will be coming out to voice their disgust over this, or will they also go down with the ship?
