[quote]Prominent Conservative politicians have distanced themselves from Donald Trump after his performance in the US presidential debates, amid revelations that the Republican candidate had joked about molesting women.
Tory MPs Jacob Rees-Mogg and Iain Duncan Smith have previously said they would not vote for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, with Rees Mogg saying in mid-September that he would “almost certainly vote for Trump if I was American”.
However, on Monday Rees-Mogg said he now felt he could not vote for either candidate. “I obviously do not have a vote and believe it is important for the UK to be polite about all US presidential candidates as it is the most important foreign relationship for us,” he told the Guardian.
“However, I could not personally vote for either candidate so would have to abstain.”[/quote]
Despite Farage goes over there to campaign for Trump, it seems even UKIP ain't having it
[quote]Other Ukip politicians have long distanced themselves from Trump, including the party’s sole MP, Douglas Carswell, who likened Trump’s performance to Farage’s last year in the Kent seat of South Thanet, where he failed to win election to the Commons.
MEP Patrick O’Flynn also criticised the Republican contender, and was retweeted by the party’s former deputy chair Suzanne Evans and Welsh assembly member Mark Reckless.[/quote]
The more people just distance himself without even really throwing a fuss the better. Trump loves it when his opposition makes a remark because only then can he paint them as the bad guy, so it's good they're giving him no ammo
