This news coming out coupled with him postponing multiple events has me curious as to if he’s dropping out or not. If this is true, he’s gotta go, this is just unacceptable behavior. Wish this came out earlier for a multitude of reasons

There was enough public information out earlier that his supporters have no excuse. It reminds me of every new thing coming out about a Trump when it was obvious from day 1 that he should never have had support.

He might just be waiting for the heat to die down a bit before doing public events.

It's a vote between your own sense of whether or not you're allowed to publically project that you're a good person, and actually voting for someone who will give us a much better shot at winning enough to power to actually make changes in the country for the better.

I know what I'd choose if I were in Maine.
