Sideshow. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) is facing a mutiny once again.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is the Speaker of the House. He was the former 2012 vice presidential nominee to perennial loser Mitt Romney. He knows what losing feels like.
Today, he knows the game's over for Republican nominee Donald Trump.
He said he will no longer campaign with Donald Trump and Mike Pence. He says that he will focus on keeping the House and Senate in Republican hands. He knows that the impact of Trump's words could damage their chances to hold onto the Congress.
Ryan on phone conference said, the Republicans "need to do what's best for their district."
Ryan pissed off the conservative members of the House. Some have called Ryan spineless and a "fucktard" for not backing the nominee.
"I am willing to endure political pressure to help protect our majority."
It seems like the House majority is at risk of being rattled by Trump's campaign.
The move -- highly unusual in US political history -- laid bare the seemingly intractable divisions now seizing the Republican Party with a month left before the presidential vote. Support for Trump among the GOP establishment, already weak amid disagreements over policy and tone, has now eroded to new lows.
Ryan joins a number of many other Republicans angry over the whole Trump ordeal. The tape were offensive and disturbing and it put a major dent in the Republican nominee's campaign.
Rumors are flying that Kellyanne Conway and Mike Pence might abandon ship. They flatly denied the rumors of them leaving the campaign.
Looks like Donald Trump isn't taking this one lightly. He went to Twitter to call upon Republicans to denounce Ryan and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). He called upon Republicans to not support those who refuse to support him.
Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting Republican nominee
Paula Jones along with Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick and Kathy Shelton were attending the second debate. Donald Trump wanted to give Bill Clinton a reminder of his past. He wanted to take Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton off her game.
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would have been greeted by Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick. It was stopped by the debate commission. The goal was to intimidate Clinton and embarrass her husband by sitting women who accused former president Bill Clinton of sexual abuse in the Trump family's box at the presidential debate. The Donald Trump Presidential Campaign was determined to get Clinton off her game.
Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway was unaware of the plan.
This was clearly a move pushed by Stephen K. Bannon, New York Observer's editor and son-in-law Jared Kushner and Sean "Softball" Hannity. Trump gave them the greenlight.
The attempt to bring Clinton's accusers into the prime seats was to rattle him. Cause in the family box, the Trumps would shake hands with the Clintons.
Conservative agitator Rudy Giuliani was hoping to have a moment in the sun.
"We were going to put the four women in the VIP box. We had it all set. We wanted to have them shake hands with Bill, to see if Bill would shake hands with them."
Frank J. Fahrenkopf the debate commission's co-chairman a former GOP chair said, "Hell no!"
He said if Trump brought these women into the family box, they would be removed from the venue.
"[But] we pulled it because we were going to have a big incident on national TV. Frank Fahrenkopf stopped us, and we weren't going to have a fight on national TV with the commission to start the debate," said Giuliani.
The women, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathy Shelton were seated with the audience. They were no where close to the former president.
The desperate internet creeper Matt Drudge splashes this on front page today.
When Martha Raddatz questioned Trump on his infamous audio recording, he reacted by blaming Bill Clinton.
TRUMP: It was locker room talk, as I told you. That was locker room talk. I'm not proud of it. I am a person who has great respect for people, for my family, for the people of this country. And certainly, I'm not proud of it. But that was something that happened.
If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse. Mine are words, and his was action. His was what he's done to women. There's never been anybody in the history politics in this nation that's been so abusive to women. So you can say any way you want to say it, but Bill Clinton was abusive to women.
Hillary Clinton attacked those same women and attacked them viciously. Four of them here tonight. One of the women, who is a wonderful woman, at 12 years old, was raped at 12. Her client she represented got him off, and she's seen laughing on two separate occasions, laughing at the girl who was raped. Kathy Shelton, that young woman is here with us tonight.
So don't tell me about words. I am absolutely -- I apologize for those words. But it is things that people say. But what President Clinton did, he was impeached, he lost his license to practice law. He had to pay an $850,000 fine to one of the women. Paula Jones, who's also here tonight.
And I will tell you that when Hillary brings up a point like that and she talks about words that I said 11 years ago, I think it's disgraceful, and I think she should be ashamed of herself, if you want to know the truth.
It appears that Clinton brushed off Trump when he landed the attack on her.
CLINTON: Well, first, let me start by saying that so much of what he's just said is not right, but he gets to run his campaign any way he chooses. He gets to decide what he wants to talk about. Instead of answering people's questions, talking about our agenda, laying out the plans that we have that we think can make a better life and a better country, that's his choice.
When I hear something like that, I am reminded of what my friend, Michelle Obama, advised us all: When they go low, you go high.
And, look, if this were just about one video, maybe what he's saying tonight would be understandable, but everyone can draw their own conclusions at this point about whether or not the man in the video or the man on the stage respects women. But he never apologizes for anything to anyone.
CLINTON: He never apologized to Mr. and Mrs. Khan, the Gold Star family whose son, Captain Khan, died in the line of duty in Iraq. And Donald insulted and attacked them for weeks over their religion.
He never apologized to the distinguished federal judge who was born in Indiana, but Donald said he couldn't be trusted to be a judge because his parents were, quote, "Mexican."
He never apologized to the reporter that he mimicked and mocked on national television and our children were watching. And he never apologized for the racist lie that President Obama was not born in the United States of America. He owes the president an apology, he owes our country an apology, and he needs to take responsibility for his actions and his words.
After that exchange, it was over. No more mentions about it. Conservatives were hoping Trump kept the heat on her. It didn't turn out that way. Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broaddrick weren't happy about the outcome.
"The women were outraged," said Giuliani. "They were in the holding room and ready to go. No one was pushing them. They volunteered. But I knew the minute we got pushback that we had gotten into their heads. [Hillary Clinton] was rattled. They were rattled."
Desperation in the Trump campaign. Today's bitch move was Trump bringing in the mistress and accusers of Bill Clinton to intimidate Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
The leaks of Trump's dirty mouth has Republicans fleeing en masse.
Donald Trump goes low and is willing to take Republicans down with him.
The debate which starts tonight. At Washington University in St. Louis, Trump and Clinton will go after each other once again.
Trump decided to bring Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, and Paula Jones along with Donald, Jr and Eric Trump. He has them in front row.
Reince Priebus considered pulling the funding from Trump. Mike Pence is on the fence. He may end his run as vice presidential nominee.
Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz moderate the debate.
The bro code. Billy Bush was placed in the freezer after being the second banana in Trump's crap shake.
In a stunning move, Billy Bush was placed in the freezer. Under the condition of anonymity, the network put the brakes on the NBC News host. The host of Today was the second banana in the infamous Donald Trump tapes.
A memo went out Sunday announcing this freeze pending further review.
He joined Today two months in.
The 2005 tape was made when Bush was a reporter on Access Hollywood. He was in the ride with Trump heading to the set of a soap opera. In the tape, Trump brags about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women who were not his wife. Bush, joins in, laughing at some of Trump's comments and later encouraging an actress to hug Trump.
Bush had a brief conflict with Al Roker in Brazil. When Ryan Lochte pulled a bitch move, Bush defended him. Roker got angry and let him have it. Lochte and three of the American swimmers lied about being jacked in Rio.
The Access Hollywood tape was an embarrassment on multiple levels for NBC News. The news division for days had been aware of the tape from the NBC-owned entertainment show, but was scooped Friday by the Washington Post when the newspaper was tipped off about its existence.
Today had many other scandals in its time.
Look at the Jenna Wolf mess and the Ann Curry mess. Those were some real issues that drove Today down the crapper.
Bush is a nephew of 41. Bush is cousin to W. and Jeb. His first cousin Jenna Hager is a reporter for NBC News. Her sister Barbara endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
Bush was then a correspondent to Access Hollywood.
Trump hugs his campaign around Bill Clinton's former mistress and accusers.
Desperation in the Donald Trump presidential campaign. The Access Hollywood leak has riled up the Republican and now he's decided to hit back. He's bringing the ghost of the past to taunt Hillary Clinton.
Bill Clinton's alleged mistress Gennifer Flowers will be there along with Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick and Paula Jones. The embattled Republican did a presser with the women. He wants to get under the skin by bringing up allegations of Hillary Clinton trashing on these accusers.
Also, Kathy Shelton, a woman who was involved in a rape case as a child in which Hillary Clinton defended the accused rapist.
Trump has decided to throw everything at the Democratic nominee.
He's taking the advice of Stephen Bannon, Roger Stone and Sean "Softball" Hannity. He wants to make 42's past Clinton's problems. In order to rile up the conservatives, he'll bring up Bill Clinton's infidelities.
The debate's tonight and many are either scratching their heads.
Is Trump doing the right thing?
Nonetheless, the Clinton campaign said, "Bring it!"
"We're not surprised to see Donald Trump continue his destructive race to the bottom. Hillary Clinton understands the opportunity in this town hall is to talk to voters on stage and in the audience about the issues that matter to them, and this stunt doesn't change that. If Donald Trump doesn't see that, that's his loss. As always, she's prepared to handle whatever Donald Trump throws her way," said Communication director Jennifer Palmieri.
The Republicans are panicking. Donald Trump really fucked up!
He is going into Sunday's debate a wounded candidate. The Republican nominee got hit with his own words. He said some derogatory comments about an Access Hollywood reporter. It was revealed that then host Nancy O'Dell was the person Trump was talking about.
Now prominent Republicans are denouncing him and some are calling for him to exit stage right.
Not Conceding.
Trump refuses to concede. He warns that the gloves are off and he will play on Bill Clinton's affairs at the townhall debate. He will focus on Hillary Clinton's emails and the status quo.
Trump slams the junk food media for ignoring the Clinton email document drop. In reality, it wasn't ignored. Wikileaks obtained emails from John Podesta, Clinton's top political strategist.
Some of the emails have Clinton talking about her positions and how much she was paid for these speeches to Wall Street. Democrats and the intelligence community blame Russia for the leaks.
Podesta dismissed the leaks. He said that the emails are altered. Most Democrats aren't concerned about the emails. They're concerned about the nasty comments made by Trump.
Bill Clinton on the campaign trail was heckled by a person. The person shouted "rapist" and the audience booed him. Clinton wasn't even fazed by the comments. T he protester was removed.
Desperation hits the conservatives. The struggling Matt Drudge links a partial video of President Barack Obama talking to members of the Harvard Business Review. He reads quotes from Black leaders and Drudge posts "Gotta have them ribs and pussy tool" on the link.
Of course, the Republicans are falling flat on their face.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) was heckled by the protesters. He disinvited Trump from the annual picnic of Republicans, Pence also took a pass on the event. He went to Indianapolis to regroup.
Trump is imploding and he's gonna take Republicans with him.
Republicans will have to cut ties to Trump, The Drudge Report, Fox News, old fart Rush Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity. They're too damn toxic to the party. If they continue to listen, read or stay stuck in a bubble, prepare for more losses in the future.
HILLARY CLINTON'S CHANCES AT WINNING THE PRESIDENCY IS NOW 80%.
Donald Trump didn't expect this one to happen. Fresh off a week of mishaps comes the "October Surprise". An audio recording from 2005 features Trump talking to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush.
Trump on hot mic talks dirty about women in such a vulgar way, it may have put some major damage to his campaign.
BOOM. The Trump tapes may have doomed him.
Trump on a bus describes his attempts to seduce a woman who's full name is not given in the video.
The Washington Post delivered a major shock to the 2016 U.S. Presidential Campaign.
David Fahrenthold is now getting protection in the wake of him reporting on the audio. The audio is released and it's a doozy.
Bush and Trump arrive on the set of Days of Our Lives to tape a segment of the soap opera. Trump was to do a cameo appearance on the show. In the audio, Trump said, "I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it."
"Whoa," another voice aid. "Whoa my man!".
"I did try and fuck her. She was married," said Trump.
Trump continues on: "And I move on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, 'I'll show you where they have some nice furniture.'"
"I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look."
At that point, Trump and Bush appear to notice Arianne Zucker, the actress who was to take them to the set of the soap opera.
Shit just got real.
"Your girl's hot as shit, in the purple," said Bush. The celebrity agitator is a host on NBC's Today.
"Whoa!" Trump says. "Whoa!"
"I've got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful --- I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait," said Trump.
"And when you're a star, they let you do it," said Trump. "You can do anything."
"Whatever you want," said Bush.
"Grab them by the pussy," says Trump. "You can do anything."
It got worse. Trump gets a rise out of one of the women on the set.
"Oh, nice legs, huh?" Trump says.
Billy Bush is in some deep shit right now. He may have inadvertently ruined Trump's presidential campaign.
"Oof, get out the way, honey," says Bush apparently blocking the view of Zucker.
The two exit the bus and greet Zucker.
"We're ready, let's go," Trump says. "Make me a soap star."
"How about a little hug for the Donald?" says Bush. "He just got off the bus."
"Would you like a hug, darling?" Zucker says.
"Absolutely," says Trump. As they embrace and air kiss, Trump says, "Melania said this was okay."
Trump and Zucker would appear on the show. Zucker's character is asking Trump for a job at his business and tells him suggestively, "I think you'll find I'm a very willing employee. Working under you, I think, could be mutually beneficial."
Trump gives her a brush off.
"That's an interesting proposition," Trump says on-screen."I'll get back to you."
Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee was pissed and he condemned the Republican nominee for this. "No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever," Priebus said in a statement.
Running mate Mike Pence kicked the press out when he got a private call from the campaign.
Clinton slammed Trump. On social media. Clinton said that the comments and remarks were "horrific" and she said that this man should never be the president.
NBC News and NBC Universal haven't commented on the situation but it's clear that Billy Bush is getting loaded into the cannon. He quickly apologized.
Trump said, hell this is locker room talk.
"This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago." Trump said in a statement Friday. "Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course --- not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended."
As we are heading to Sunday's debate, Trump is doing damage control over this. He may have sealed his fate.
By the way, Wikileaks done a document drop on Hillary Clinton. Some of leaks include transcripts of her paid speeches to Wall Street.
