Brainfart, Cutyernutzoff, and Lawn Mower all plan on supporting der Trumpenführer

Ugh

Iowa's governor and two U.S. senators say they will support Donald Trump if he's the Republican Party's nominee for president.

Gov. Terry Branstad and Sens. Charles Grassley and Joni Ernst said Wednesday they will support whoever is the GOP nominee. The comments came on a day when Trump became the last remaining Republican presidential candidate.

Grassley, chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee, spoke about his support at an event in Iowa. He is facing a tough re-election race this year amid his refusal to hold hearings for President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee. Grassley has defended the move, though four Democratic challengers will face off in a primary election in June.

They sat in the boat too long and it's not applause they hear it's the rapids on the river Styx.

I bet that a lot of the Republicans who are publicly stating that they will never vote for Trump will do so anyway in the privacy of the voting booth. Note that the Republicans largely agree with his positions; they just think he is such a jerk that he will either lose the election or not be controllable by our real rulers if actually elected.

A lot of them are pissed because he actually said what they're thinking out loud. Good Republicans aren't supposed to do that in the minds of many Republicans.
