Donald Trump’s relationship with elected Republican officials has been anything but smooth. Following the leak of a video of his vulgar and predatory comments about women from 2005, it got even thornier.
Republican lawmakers released what appeared to be a flood of statements within minutes of Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus issuing his own brief response.

Now, don’t forget to vote!"
Getting it over with. Maybe trying to teach Donald by example. That’s definitely going to work.
“GOP Lawmakers Condemn Trump’s Nasty Comments About Women In Unison”
Don’t count Corey Lewandoski with those who are condemning the Velcro one.
“Donald Trump’s defenders are already desperately trying to create a false equivalency by claiming that Hillary Clinton does it too. She doesn’t do it. No normal human being with a shred of respect for others talks the way that Trump did on that tape.”
I can’t wait for Hill to bring this up in the next debate.
Check out The Donald uniting the GOP. Kum-ba-ya, everybody!
