We Just Can’t Back Donald Trump -- More prominent Republican jump ship

[Yssup Rider]

"Toxic" is a good descriptor for Drumpf. He poisons everything he touches.

Just ask the vendors he stiffed. Or the countless people he bullies.

Imagine what he'll do to the Congress.

These prominent Republicans can.

We Just Can’t Back Donald Trump, 30 Former GOP Lawmakers Say In Letter
The guy is too toxic for many ex-public officials.


For months now, Hillary Clinton’s campaign has tried to cleave more moderate Republicans away from their party by playing up how uniquely horrendous Donald Trump is as a GOP standard-bearer.

At the Democratic National Convention, Clinton had former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, once a Republican himself, deliver a high-profile speech. Before and after, she touted the endorsements she’d received from top GOP national security officials and former cabinet members. Her campaign even publicly flirted with trying to get the support of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, despite how despised he remains for much of the Democratic Party base.

On Thursday, Clinton’s endeavors got a boost ― though, apparently, through no effort of her own. Thirty Republicans who served in Congress signed a letter saying they couldn’t vote for Trump in the general election.

“In nominating Donald Trump, the Republican Party has asked the people of the United States to entrust their future to a man who insults women, mocks the handicapped, urges that dissent be met with violence, seeks to impose religious tests for entry into the United States, and applies a de facto ethnicity test to judges,” the letter reads. “He offends our allies and praises dictators. His public statements are peppered with lies. He belittles our heroes and insults the parents of men who have died serving our country. Every day brings a fresh revelation that highlights the unacceptable danger in electing him to lead our nation.”

Among the letter’s signatories are former Reps. Bob Bauman (R-Md.), Steve Bartlett (R-Texas), Tom Coleman (R-Mo.), Bill Clinger (R-Pa.), Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.), Tom Petri (R-Wis.), Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.), Bob Inglis (R-S.C.), Vin Weber (R-Minn.), and Dick Zimmer (R-N.J.), and former Sen. Gordon Humphrey (R-N.H.).

Every day brings a fresh revelation that highlights the unacceptable danger in electing [Trump] to lead our nation.

The signatories made “no mention of Hillary Clinton,” noted CNN, which first reported their letter. So while some of them may vote for the Democratic nominee, others may vote for former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, a Libertarian.

But the power of the former lawmakers’ statement does not lie in the votes they will cast. It lies in the symbolic weight of their decision to reject their party’s nominee. Some of these former lawmakers were self-avowed moderates, and others had already said they weren’t supporting Trump. But many are traditional Republicans whose abandonment of the GOP nominee is noteworthy.

And it won’t be a surprise to see the Clinton campaign play this up in the days ahead.

Here’s a complete list of the letter’s signatories:

Steve Bartlett (R-Texas)

Bob Bauman (R-Md.)

Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.)

Jack Buechner (R-Mo.)

Tom Campbell (R-Calif.)

Bill Clinger (R-Pa.)

Tom Coleman (R-Mo.)

Geoff Davis (R-Ky.)

Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.)

Harris Fawell (R-Ill.)

Ed Foreman (R-Texas) (R-N.M.)

Amo Houghton, Jr. (R-N.Y.)

Gordon Humphrey (R-N.H.)

Bob Inglis (R-S.C.)

Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.)

Steve Kuykendall (R-Calif.)

Jim Leach (R-Iowa)

Pete McCloskey (R-Calif.)

Connie Morella (R-Md.)

Mike Parker (R-Miss.)

Tom Petri (R-Wis.)

John Porter (R-Ill.)

Claudine Schneider (R-R.I.)

John “Joe” Schwarz (R-Mich.)

Chris Shays (R-Conn.)

Peter Smith (R-Vt.)

Edward Weber (R-Ohio)

Vin Weber (R-Minn.)

G. William Whitehurst (R-Va.)

Dick Zimmer (R-N.J.)

Most of those people are thinking about themselves, and not making America great again.

That is one reason America is no longer great - bitter divisions among all Americans, primarily precipitated by the divisiveness of group preferences pioneered by the Democrats for their own benefit.

[tonyvicksa]

Ditto DSK. Yes, they are thinking about themselves. They are handing the next generation a liberal supreme court. A court whose values will be in direct conflict of what these people say they stand for. Pathetic pussies!

Mr Yssup Rider that list will get longer now that America knows that Trump likes to grope married women and grab them by their pussy- his campaign is finished- women are the key voters in every election.

[Yssup Rider]

While I certainly am not one to moralize over marital infidelity (ahem) ... I know that this thing has probably fucking blown up Drumpf's attack on Hillary enabling Bill's philandering.

He's got nothing left. Denuded, like the barnyard boys from Pissburg.

What we're learning is that anything the RWW's try and accuse Hillary of Drumpf's done bigger. So maybe the election will come down to policy and experience? Maybe?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!

[goodman0422]

Honestly, Yssup, when was the last time you did something because prominent Republicans supported it?

America would be better off if fewer people blindly followed their party.
