Just one month before election day, the party is turning on Trump. At least one-third of the party’s senators have now declined to support him, rescinded their support, asked him to resign, or declared they’ll vote for someone else.

As if that weren’t enough, his own running mate publicly scolded him this weekend. His wife issued an angry, if forgiving statement. Even the Terminator terminated his support; Arnold Schwarzenegger bailed. So did Condoleezza Rice. The list of anti-Trump Republicans now includes about 17 senators, 24 representatives, several governors — and counting.

Add a former Republican nominee to the list. John McCain has withdrawn his already-tepid backing. The final straw for him, and apparently for many others, was the release of an old video where the billionaire bragged about grabbing women’s genitals without permission.
