tonight" host "nancy o-dell," who responded yesterday on twitter that "no person should be the subject of such crass comments" trump has since apologized on social media and also fired back at the clinton campaign, talking about bill clinton's infidelity nad accusations of sexual assault. many in the g-o-p have called for the use of the r-n-c's rule nine to replace trump on the ballot, but most agree, it's too late. early ballots in iowa have already been cast and early voting here in arizona starts on tuesday. many republicans have pulled their support, including right here in arizona. and all this happening.. a month before election day. 3-t-v's political editor dennis welch has more. "i said it... i was wrong ... and i apologize.." it appears donald trumps half apology wasn't enough to stop his fellow republicans from jumping ship "and it is a troubling situation. i'm serious, it is."

"whatever you want?" "grab them by the p...y "you can do anything." and arizona republicans also jumping on the dump- trump train ... senator john mccain who issued a statement saying his wife, "cindy and i will not vote for donald trump." meaning the past three republican nominees for president -- mccain, mitt romney, and george w. bush will not be voting for their party's standard bearer arizona's other republican senator jeff flake tweeted that america trump ... and our state's republican governor doug ducey renounced trumps comments but stopped short of pulling his

endorsement dennis welch 3-tv not everyone has pulled their support from trump. his wife, melania trump releasing a statement that she is offended by his words, but has accepted his apology. another woman still in his corner - former arizona governor "jan brewer." "brewer" on twitter addressing trump's controversial comments, posted this - "i am repulsed by the detestable language used by donald trump... it was wrong.. inappropriate.. and disgusting." but she went on to say... "donald did the right thing by taking ownership of his words and apologizing. i continue to support donald trump for president. it's the right thing to do for our country." and "pinal county sheriff paul

for congress... says an earlier tweet about him denouncing trump... was a mistake. in a new facebook post... "babeu" says trump's comments aren't acceptable... but he affirms he will still vote for trump. the controversial video was recorded shortly after trump married his third wife.. "melania." and in a statement.. trump's wife called his words "offensive".. saying they don't represent the man she knows. she also called for the country to forgive him.. and says its time to focus on other.. more important issues. and everyone is sounding off on this latest controversy.. including hollywood. take a look. "he's an embarrassmen t to this country. it makes me so angry that this country has gotten to this point that this fool, this bozo, has wound up where he has. he talks how he wants to punch people in the face. well, i'd like to punch him in the face." that's academy award winner

not necessarily pushing for full-day kindergarten either. 6:32 the science is there that it is thought to increase student learning down the road, but parents choice is the number one thing superintendent douglas is going to fight for. --or-- 1:07 q: how important does our superintenden t believe full day kindergarten is to a child's success? 1:15 a: it really stems from what the parents choose. each student is so unique and different. 1:41 q: but academically, the importance of full-day kindergarten versus half day. does she have an opinion? 1:47there is scientific evidence there 1:57 but at the same time, putting science aside, superintendent douglas does want to maintain that parent's choice aspect of it. the department of education doesn't keep track of which of arizona's 200-plus districts offer full-day kindergarten... and couldn't tell us how much it would cost to bring it back. holyoak acknowledges the state's own estimate ... of 27 million dollars a year from pot revenue... specifically earmarked for full-day kindergarten... is only a portion of what's needed. 7:00:12 it's not enough. no question about it. it's not enough. but it's a start. it's money that's going in the right direction. nats kinder class and come november.... voters
