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:
The last time I saw Denny, he looked so frail at his sentencing hearing that I thought he was going to keel over on the spot.
Good work but those aren’t their names.
They no longer get to have names. Henceforth each of them will only be referred to as “wizened muff cabbage” or “Whores for Hillary”.
In the name of Donald Trump, Nominee of Republican Party for President of the United States of America, I Impy, Pimp Hand of Chicago, denounce them and attaint them, I strip them of all rank and privilege, of all property, real and personal, of all status as Republicans and members of the human race, and sentence them to go screw themselves and rot in the 9th circle of hell with the other traitors.
His only "accomplishment" in life was Shays-Meehan, which implemented McCain-Feingold (another execrable reach across the aisle). McCain-Feingold / Shays-Meehan was unconstitutional and was largely overturned by Citizens United v FEC, much to Zero's disappointment.
He washed out of Congress in 1992 over the House banking scandal, in which he was implicated for writing 125 bad checks worth nearly $48,000.
He turned into a lobbyist, for whom $48 large is no doubt chump change. For instance, in 2006, Freddie Mac paid him $360,297 (not quite the Hillary pay scale, but nice work if you can get it) to head off meaningful mortgage regulation.
Last October, he favored Paul Ryan for House Speaker.
He's still at the lobbying business, and, no doubt, he fears a Trump win would dent his income.
He is scum.
That is the case for every last one of these never Trump types. It's all about their access to cash. Quick and easy cash at that.
Power prose. Yes.
