Djou abandons Republican party because of Trump
Hono Star Ad ^ | March 19 , 2018 | star ad staff

Posted on 03/19/2018 3:02:49 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

Former U.S. Rep. Charles Djou says he is leaving the Republican Party.

Djou, in a column written for the online news site Civil Beat today, cited the party’s leadership under President Donald Trump as the main reason that led to his decision.

Djou wrote,“Today after much consideration, I abandon my party because I am unwilling to abandon my principles. I can no longer stand with a Republican Party that is led by a man I firmly believe is taking the party of Lincoln in a direction I fundamentally disagree with, and a party that is unwilling to stand up to him.”

The mere thought of Charles Djou causes me to feel mildly nauseous . He is a classic example of what has gone wrong with the rank & file local level GOP petitions . A singularly pathetic little weasel .

And what “principles” would they be, Djou? Ah, who cares. The Republican Party is dead to me.

Another “Republican” goes native in Hawaii, joining the Stalinist Treason Party. One of our biggest mistakes in deposing the Hawaiian Royal Family and taking it for ourselves. Cut this Communist cancer loose and keep the bases. Enough is enough.

Oh Jumpin’Jim Jeffords, patron weasel of RINOs, welcome Charles to share in your defeat and obscurity ...

... and political unemployment.

From what I can make out, Djou sounds like your basic RINO who longs to be accepted by his associates, most of whom are rabid progressives. Best to be honest then, and leave the stage. Go ahead and change parties. Make it official.
Otherwise, you’ll be like Jeff Flake, a small sinking vessel, sending up panic flares that go unnoticed.

He didn’t do it because of Trump.

He did it because powerful corrupt forces want Trump out of the way of their self enrichment at American Citizen’s expense.

Charles was told what to do, because he is that big of a dirtbag.

Wikipedia: Charles Djou announced on June 7, 2016 that he was running for the non-partisan office of Mayor of Honolulu against incumbent Mayor Kirk Caldwell...On June 15, Djou announced that retired Federal Judge and former Chair of the Democratic Party of Hawaii, Walter Heen, would be chair of Djou’s mayoral campaign, and City Council member Ann Kobayashi, also a Democrat, supported Djou for mayor...Caldwell ultimately won reelection, 52% to 48%...

There are two political parties in the US right now - the uniParty and the MAGA Party. Djou has told us which he allies himself with.
