Here's hoping Toomey gets whomped by Katie McGinty in November. :D

WASHINGTON — It turns out the best entertainment in Washington this week is in the U.S. Senate, where Republicans are desperately trying to distance themselves from Donald Trump’s racist attacks on a federal judge while, somehow, still insisting he’s their guy for president.

...how do you square those kinds of comments — and the suggestion that a federal judge can’t be fair because of his or her ethnic heritage or religion — with your support for your party’s presidential nominee? You can certainly try.

“These were his comments, not my comments,” said Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), one of the most vulnerable senators in this election cycle.

“I hope we don’t spend the entire year having our [Senate] candidates having to separate themselves from our nominee,” Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the No. 3 GOP leader in the Senate said. “What I’m hoping for is that he’s going to take corrective action when it comes to his rhetoric.”

You should have seen Male Nursie trying himself in knots earlier.

Trying to pretend Trump isn't racist must be exhausting.
 
well the nominee isn't the same as the down ticket unless it becomes a rout .
Voters aren't brand loyal anymore..but they still tend not to split tickets.
