UPDATE: In light of newly-released audio Friday showing Republican nominee Donald Trump bragging about groping women, several Republicans—including the chair of the national College Republicans organization—have withdrawn their endorsements. The Chronicle followed up with the people mentioned in this article to see if they still maintain their support. Berger, Ferlauto, Siegel and Sridhar all declined to comment. Hough explained in an email that he thought both Trump's and Bill Clinton's attitudes toward women are products of their generation so he was not surprised by Trump's comments. Hough added that he will probably not vote.

But I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny—Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear. . .While it might be a fleeting victory for the Republican Party, it would be a more lasting defeat for the American people. Surely it would ultimately be suicide for the Republican Party [as well].”
