The entire world is buzzing about one thing after last night's debate: Donald Trump's refusal to say he'd accept the results of the election. It's the lead story on all the morning news shows. It's been condemned by pundits and politicians alike—Democrats and Republicans. But from Republican leadership, well, we're still getting radio silence.
The top elected Republican in the land, House Speaker Paul Ryan, seems to be skipping ahead to 2020. The only thing out of him this morning is a campaign video about his "better way forward." One seemingly without Trump.
Oh, and a tweet about how awful Obamacare is.
How about Mitch McConnell, the Senate's Republican leader?
The Republican House can fall. Can you chip in $3 to each of these candidates to help make that happen?
No matter where you live, sign up with MoveOn to call voters in swing states from the comfort of your home. Get out the vote and take nothing for granted!
He's retreated into his shell. McConnell has remained silent in the face of Trump's escalating claims of a "rigged" election and rampant voter fraud, and seems content to let this latest outrage against our system stand. The system he's been part of for his entire adult life. But hey, this is just his party's nominee for president trashing the country. Why should he bother to comment on it?
Donald Trump has done us one favor. He's shown just how low these two Republicans are willing to go to keep their jobs: All the way into the gutter with him.
