Many republicans on the state level are either voting Clinton, or staying home. Even in the red/purple states.

The republicans are screwed. Oust trump and set off an insurgence of their base. They won't vote in protest.

Keep Trump and many, many will vote D or stay home.

They built it, they own it. They relied on the racism within their party to obstruct and block President Obama. They encouraged the teabaggers. A portion of their religious leaders (which a political party should not have) call for the death/prison of those who oppose them or live a lifestyle they don't approve of. They cheered this.

The success of trump should not be a surprise to them. He is the fulfillment of their platform. He just doesn't dress up his words good enough for them. Their running away now is sheer cowardice. Trump is what the entire republican party stands for.

As usual though, the republicans are in denial and running away from their fucking mess. The party of responsibility is feigning innocence on their part in the creation of the monster. Instead they are taking advantage of it. They have nothing to stand on in the election. They are appealing to the down ticket races. Elect me, I denounced trump.

Democrats need to hang trump around the neck of each and every republican running for office. Right down to dog catcher.
