As the clock ticks toward Election Day, Pat Toomey is running out of time to make good on his promise to reveal his voting plans to his constituents.
As he frantically tries to convince voters that he is not a hard-nosed obstructionist with one of the most conservative voting records in the Senate, Toomey is not helped by the fact that for all we know, he plans to vote for a racist, sexist, xenophobic bully with a long track record of stiffing his employees and sexually assaulting women.
Remember: this is not a new question. Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination nearly six months ago and even before then, Toomey had close to a year to assess his candidacy. The only thing Pennsylvanians can count on Toomey to do is to consistently duck and cover when it comes to Trump.
While Trump’s words and actions compelled hundreds of national security experts, economists, and retired and sitting Republican officials, including senators, secretaries of state, and presidents, to come forward and say they cannot and will not vote for this dangerous candidate, how has Pat Toomey responded in the final days of the campaign?
