The major GOP figures who have sat back and allowed the hateful bigot show to continue with nary a protest all co-own his remarks now. He made them under the GOP banner, for which they are all responsible. The questions about those ideas and policies and the sentiments behind them don't just go away, especially since Clinton's campaign will be linking them to other GOP policies as "almost as bad as {Trump's idea}."

The GOP needed to stop Trump before he got this far. Now it's just too late.
