A group of 30 former Republican members of Congress have publicly come out Donald Trump.
It's the largest group of former Republican elected officials to officially announce their opposition to the current leader of their party.
Here's a list of signatories:
Paul, what took you so long?
THAT’S WHY THEY ARE “FORMER” . !
No there will not be such a list and that is why more often than not Democrats win elections.
I hear Rove attacking Republican nominees, especially when they defeat a candidate he has supported. I don’t ever recall Carville, et. al. attacking Democrat nominees.
If Trump loses, they honestly think that we are just going to come crawling back and support whatever establishment RINO (Ryan, Jeb, Kasich) they try to shove down our throats for the next election. Hate to break it to them, but we are done supporting RINO’s no matter what happens with Trump.
SAME.
The only ones I’ve heard of are ones who were mealy-mouthed losers and wanna be democrats when they were in office.
The single most shocking word Weber uttered during our conversation was “sociopath.” He’s not a psychologist or anything, but in discussing Trump’s staggering inability or unwillingness to ever retract or apologize for horrible personal insults he throws at people, Weber wondered aloud, about Trump: “Is he a sociopath?” (That’s a term for a person who “lacks a sense of moral responsibility or a social conscience.”)
So when can we expect Vin Weber to apologize to Donald Trump? Otherwise, if he doesn't I must conclude that “he is a sociopath” himself. I already know he is a hypocrite.
I am sure they are now all lobbyist for big business pushing globalization.
The only names I recognize are Leach McCloskey and Shays. All liberals. They also don’t mention that McCloskey switched to the Democrat Party after he ran for President in 72 on an anti war platform and was defeated by Nixon.
Bob Inglis in SC should ask Trey Gowdy what it’s like to have your a$$ kicked. Is it me or did most of these losers her there butts kicked back in ‘06
Since it looks like either Trump or Killary will be the next POTUS and the next POTUS will likely get 2-4 nominations to the SCOTUS, I guess these “Republicans” don’t mind a liberal US for the next 40 years.
On the issue of SCOTUS alone, Trump has to win in November.
I notice our nothing of a Speaker dropped off the earth.
Closet democrats maybe?
I may be wrong but I thought Gordon Humphrey was at one time an actual conservative.
The rest of the list contains ultra-libs and outright faggots (Shays, Bauman, Kolbe and probably several others) and there’s not a name among them I wish was still in Congress.
Ed Foreman was a real conservative and served briefly from two states, TX and then NM. He may be for NM’s Johnson; maybe Johnson can tip NM to Trump.
IOW, Trump just scored a new batch of reverse endorsements. What you’ve found thus far is excellent.
The names I recognize are RINOs. Don’t have time (or inclination) to research, but would assume most of them lost reelection bids. Also assume that most went from Congress to lobbying, and that is the apple cart that Trump would upend. Can’t have THAT!!!!
Steve Bartlett opposed Reagan in 1976 and much later was a mayor of Dallas, maybe the last Republican in that post.
A glittering gem of mediocrity was - and is - Jim Leach; one of Iowa's most notorious RINOs, he was long famous for "standing inside the big tent, and pissing inside the big tent."
Once again, Trump proves to have many of the right enemies.
