YOU OWN HIM: 70 Trump abominations approved by the GOP

Over the course of his business career and during his 2016 campaign, Donald Trump has spewed a steady stream of abominations, virtually any of which would disqualify him for the presidency. None of these offensive words and actions have stopped Republican leaders and their allies in the corporate media from backing his candidacy. That is, until a lewd audio recording surfaced in which he condoned groping women without their consent. Those repulsive comments have triggered an exodus from his campaign.

Which suggests that none of the other Trump transgressions were problematic enough for them to rescind their support.
