GOP Sen. Mike Rounds: “You never like to hear a former president has been found in civil court guilty of those types of actions.”

Asked if he could support someone found liable of battery, Rounds said, “I would have a difficult time doing so.”

He heaped praise on Tim Scott
Sen. Kennedy declined to comment when asked about jury finding Trump liable of sexual battery.

“I don’t have anything for you on that.”
Cramer says he sees no reason to doubt the jury but he won’t rule out supporting Trump if its him vs. Biden.

“Obviously I’d rather have a president that isn’t found liable for battery,” he said

“t’s not a disqualifier, but it’s certainly not a check in the plus column.”
Cassidy on Trump sexual battery verdict:

“Of course it creates concern. How could it not create concern? If what the woman says…if he’s been found liable, how could it do anything but create concern?”
Rick Scott on Trump verdict:

“He said he didn’t do it, but actually I don’t know the facts of the case. I don’t know the lady or anything.”

Asked if he could support someone found liable of sexual battery, he said, “I don’t know the facts. It’s a New York jury, too.”
Steve Daines, who just endorsed Trump, reacts to NY verdict: “Sounds like President Trump’s legal team will be appealing this decision.”
“The jury is a joke. The whole case is a joke;” Rubio says of Trump being found liable for sexual battery in NY
Rubio dismissed Trump being found liable of defamation: “If someone accuses me of raping them and I didn’t do it, and you’re innocent, of course you’re going to say something about it…it was a joke.”
Romney: “The jury reached their decision and I hope the jury of the American people reach the same conclusion: we need a different nominee to be the nominee for president. He is no position to be the president of the United States.”
GOP Sen. Tuberville says the NY verdict against Trump "makes me want to vote for him twice."

"They're going to do anything they can to keep him from winning. It ain't gonna work...people are gonna see through the lines, a New York jury, he had no chance."

“People who love Trump, love Trump. People who hate Trump, hate Trump. It’s not going to make a difference…it just kind of validates what Trump haters think of him. People who love him have seen him go through things like this before, they don’t seem to care.”

Graham on MTG, others applauding leaker of classified info:

"What they’re suggesting will destroy America's ability to defend itself. That it’s OK to release classified information based on your political views. That the ends justify the means. It is not OK," he says on ABC
Graham added: "There is no justification for this. And for any member of Congress to suggest it’s OK to leak classified information because you agree with the cause is terrible, irresponsible, and puts America in serious danger."
Graham on TX abortion ruling: "I don’t like a district court judge issuing a national decree. Even if I agree with the judge."

He says that allowing the abortion pill "to be sent through the mail violates an existing statute on the books" and that it'll be decided by SCOTUS

a Milton Friedman reference from Mike Lee in tonight's debate

Mike Lee: "To suggest I've been a bootlicker for either party is folly and it's contradicted by the plain facts"

"No member of the Senate Republican conference voted more independently than I did ...I have stood against my party time and time again to oppose reckless spending"

I spent a day talking to voters in battleground Georgia counties about the Walker revelations. They're holding their nose and sticking with him if it means a Senate win.

“We’re all sinners,” one woman said. "We’ve all done some things we’re not proud of." huffpost.com/entry/herschel…
One Trump supporter said he worried what else may come out but he didn't intend to change his vote. Another called Walker "dishonest" but said he's all they've got.

“I’m not crazy about him but he’s better than the alternative."
Few voters had heard about Walker's son and his posts. One woman who did suggested that his mother may be to blame.

“Divorces are shitty....I’ve seen a lot of moms just poison their kids against their father. And fathers poison kids against moms. I take it with a grain of salt.”
