CNN reports–GOP U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn, after joining the chorus of Republicans calling for Donald Trump to withdraw from the presidential race, then declaring he would not even vote for Trump, then claiming to have been sufficiently impressed by Trump’s second debate performance to be “reconsidering,” then saying in a debate last week that his Trump endorsement was “suspended,” is now as of this weekend back on the “Trump Train.”
Sort of:
One week after calling on Donald Trump to step aside as the Republican nominee, the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate in Colorado now says he will vote for him on Election Day, according to audio obtained by CNN’s KFile.
Darryl Glenn, who is challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, issued a statement when news broke of Trump’s lewd comments on a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape, calling on Trump to voluntarily step aside and saying the GOP nominee was “simply disqualified from being Commander-in-Chief.”
A week later, however, Glenn now says he’ll vote for Trump but still doesn’t endorse him…
“So where I’m at right now is that I absolutely will be supporting the Republican platform and voting for Mr. Trump,” Glenn said. “I will not be personally endorsing Mr. Trump and there is a clear distinction. When I personally endorse you that means I know your heart, I know your character and I can personally attest to that and I can not. If that changes we can revisit that, when it comes to evaluating the policies of what we’re going to be able to do with regard to weighing the Republican policy platform versus the Democrats, it is not even a choice. I will be voting for the Republican ticket and Republican candidates.”
Here’s the tl;dr version: Darryl Glenn is all over the map on Trump, and his multiple flip-flops in the space of a week are a metaphor for the whole Republican Party’s convulsions ahead of an increasingly likely Election Day bloodbath. Instead of elevating himself above Trump’s offenses, Glenn has completely impaled himself on them, and made Republicans everywhere look like fools by proxy.
As for Glenn personally it really doesn’t matter much, because he was going to lose by a mile anyway.

Well, he is running TV ads now as I saw one on Denver Channel 9 couple nights ago. It actually was pretty good, showing him in a variety of athletic pursuits and saying how he’s always had to prove himself because of his size (apparently short stature).
Saw it last night. Pretty good ad which said nothing except to promise he'd be traveling the state now to election
Athletic pursuits? Please…..no more locker room banter!
Glenn was a champion power lifter at the USAFA. But, again, my preferred candidate in the Repub. primary back whenever; and the person I voted for; was Jack Graham. As a free thinker conservative, I can't get excited at all about a Senate candidate who says he is a Christian first.
I think you and I were the only ones who thought Graham was GOP best choice
You two obviously didn't get or read the memo from Moderatus and the other movers and shakers in the state party: it was supposed to be Jon "Did You See My Very Big Dog" Keyser.
Meh. I saw it and wondered what types of roids he's taking.
Do you think he wants to prove himself like Napolean did? Isn't that a little concerning? These, and other hypothetical questions, thankfully, never have to be answered
Concerning to who? I'm not concerned or interested in Mr. Glenn. He's a weak candidate and unable to give Mr. Bennet a good race.
Concerning in the abstract for any candidate for office. I agree with you, CHB, that Glenn specifically is not a concern because he is a weak candidate. A really weak candidate
He so stupid. Mongo no like him.
Bennet is D. He very smart. He's campaign cash.
Mongo like Bennet.
Zap like beating dead horse. Zap be so sorry when election over and Glen big loser. Poor Zap!
I was so impressed by him labeling himself as "the head of my party in the state." Anyone have a sense as to whether Sen. Gardner or Chairman House would go along with that description?
Darryl Glenn isn't even the head of his party in his county: that title belongs to either the RINO John Suthers or Rep Doug Still-born.
No way he can keep up with a proven failure like the Turkey grinder chick.
