All the Republicans say things like this... until they inevitably fall in line behind him. None of them have any backbone.

Chris Christie was one of the first Republicans to back Trump in 2016, once he started pulling ahead of the pack in the primaries. That being said, he's being harder on Trump than most of the other candidates in the current field. It boggles my mind that Pence is still being tepid in his criticism, but he's the poster child for "no backbone", so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
