Giuliani spoke to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," saying he's sure Trump will apologize at tonight's town hall debate for vulgar remarks recorded on video in 2005 and released on Friday. http://abcn.ws/2dDVbJZ READ MORE   Giuliani: Trump Ashamed of His Remarks Top Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani says that Donald Trump has expressed "very clearly" that "he's ashamed of himself" for the lewd comments he made about women in a 2005 leaked video, but added that both Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton are "flawed candidates," ABC's NICKI ROSSOLL reports. When ABC's George Stephanopoulos pressed Giuliani on whether the actions Trump describes toward women are "sexual assault," Giuliani responded: "That's what he was talking about," before adding that "whether it happened or not, I don't know."  http://abcn.ws/2dCY8xV READ MORE   Democratic Chair Says It Would Be 'Political Suicide' For Trump to Quit Race Donna Brazile, interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, said the Republican Party is stuck with Donald Trump as their presidential nominee because dropping him at this late date would be "political suicide." Many top Republican officeholders have condemned Trump for lewd comments he made in 2005 on a video released Friday, with some calling on the GOP nominee to withdraw from the race to allow vice presidential candidate Mike Pence to ascend to the top of the ticket. But Brazile suggested that is not a realistic scenario as early voting has already started and ballots in states across the country have been finalized with Trump listed as the Republican presidential nominee, ABC's MARGARET CHADBOURN reports. "It would be political suicide for Donald Trump to step down right now," she said. But Brazile suggested that is not a realistic scenario since early voting has already started and ballots in states across the country have been finalized with Trump listed as the Republican presidential nominee. http://abcn.ws/2d0JAXH READ MORE   Rep. Charlie Dent Calls on GOP Chair to 'Stand Up' To Trump A Republican Pennsylvania congressman put the responsibility on GOP Chairman Reince Priebus to "stand up" to nominee Donald Trump, "do what's in the best interest of the Republican Party," and encourage him to withdraw from the presidential race, reports ABC's NICKI ROSSOLL. "As a party leader, I think at times you have to stand up and do some pretty difficult things," Rep. Charlie Dent said on ABC News' "This Week." "This may be one of them." The GOP congressman slammed Trump for his lewd comments in a 2005 video uncovered Friday, but said no one should be "surprised," given the candidate's past statements about former Miss Universe Alicia Machado and others. http://abcn.ws/2domfuV This Morning on 'This Week' George Stephanopoulos went one-on-one with Trump campaign adviser and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile, on "This Week."
