More prominent Republicans - including a congressman - have they said they will not vote for Donald Trump, arguing he is unfit to serve as president.
On Tuesday, Richard Hanna of New York became the first Republican congressman to publicly declare that he would vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Mr Hanna called Mr Trump "a national embarrassment".
Other Republicans have distanced themselves from Mr Trump or withheld their support.
Mr Trump's statements and policies about women, undocumented immigrants and Muslims have unsettled many Republican Party leaders.
Mr Hanna, who is retiring in November, said he had been considering voting for Mrs Clinton for months, but Mr Trump's recent comments about Khizr and Ghazala Khan had finally persuaded him.
At last week's Democratic National Convention, Mr Khan, the father of a Muslim US soldier killed in Iraq, criticised Mr Trump's plan to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the US.
Mr Trump responded by attacking the Gold Star family, the term for families that lost a relative in war. Democratic and Republican leaders as well as veteran groups quickly condemned him.

The fail train crashing into Failsville.

Except that I've said nothing of the kind.

You have been talking a load of fuck and admit it. Trump is a fucking arse-wipe of the highest order.

Is there no level this odious little toad won't stoop to? That's a rhetorical question.

Donald Trump asked a woman with a crying baby to leave a rally in Virginia on Tuesday.

At a rally in Ashburn, the Republican nominee for US president stopped his speech when a baby began to cry.

Initially, he suggested he didn’t mind the noise, telling the crowd: “Don’t worry about that baby. I love babies. I hear that baby crying, I like it. What a baby. What a beautiful baby. Don’t worry. The mom’s running around like – don’t worry about it, you know. It’s young and beautiful and healthy and that’s what we want.”

Trump then briefly went back to criticising China, claiming when the country devalues its currency “they take our guts out”.

However, the baby continued to cry, and Mr Trump then asked the woman to leave. “Actually, I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here,” he said. “That’s all right. Don’t worry. I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I’m speaking. That’s okay. People don’t understand. That’s okay.”

And, as noted by many reporters present, while Trump kicked the crying baby out of the rally, a 10-year old who reportedly, repeatedly yelled about Hillary Clinton, "Take the bitch down!," was not kicked out or even chastised.

Good to see Trump's fans are as classy as he is, and that he's having such a great influence on children.

We don't want too many Republicans to abandon ship, that's the point. The Koch brothers are a big disappointment here. But, I suppose landing those two was a bit of a pipe dream. As much as you hate'em, they's smart summsabitches.

All credit to our very own Mr. Ian for calling this ages ago.

Vote Rationalia, the future.

Only one G20 country prefers Donald to Hillary, guess which one.

Fucken nutjob.

Yes, the very idea that Hillary Clinton would be in cohoots with the press to help swing the election is absurd. There were never any incidents of collusion between the Democrats and the press, like pre-screening of news articles to make sure they were approved by the Democratic Party. That would never happen. And, Hillary is always honest and upstanding, she said so, like when she said the FBI found that she'd be completely truthful in her statements about the email/server scandal. And, she never would cover anything up, or do anything unethical. Not Hillary. Anyone who would question her pristine record is a nutjob.

That's not what is commonly understood as "rigging an election", it is just the usual claim and counter claim of the cut and thrust of an election.

Rigging means tampering with the voting system in some way, or preventing people from voting. Trump was hinting at that, surely...

Trump labels Clinton 'the devil' and suggests election will be rigged

Republican nominee makes claims on campaign trail while ignoring controversy over his remarks about a Muslim soldier’s parents

Donald Trump has claimed that there is a possibility of the US presidential election being “rigged” as he tried to divert attention away from a disastrous week for his campaign by also labelling his rival Hillary Clinton as “the devil” and praising the primary opponent of Republican speaker Paul Ryan.

The Republican nominee has in the past few days faced a barrage of criticism following his controversial comments about the Gold Star parents of a Muslim soldier killed in Iraq.
In response to an emotional attack on him by the parents of 27-year-old army captain Humayun Khan, who died in a suicide bombing, Trump had claimed to have made sacrifices equal to their son.

A range of figures and organizations from across the political spectrum from John McCain to Barack Obama to the Veterans of Foreign Wars have criticized him for his comments.

But at rallies on Monday Trump declined to address that controversy and, in moments typical of his campaign so far, decided to ignite others.

At a campaign town hall in Columbus, Ohio, Trump said he feared that the election would be “rigged,” in an unprecedented statement for a major party nominee in modern history.

“I’m afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest,” he told the crowd.

He did not elaborate but later repeated the charge on Monday night with Sean Hannity on Fox News, saying: “November 8th, we’d better be careful, because that election is going to be rigged. And I hope the Republicans are watching closely or it’s going to be taken away from us.”
More trumpness...

The guy is completely unhinged.

I suspect any rigging, in whatever direction, will be GOP work
