Never heard of a single one of them

DITTO

[Gargantua]

He was a former Squid that ended up a Jarhead? WHAT A FAG!!!! He most likely switched to the USMC once he decided to look for a real man. I can't believe he wasn't mustered-out on a Section 8, or friendly-fragged.

[BlueCat]

So?

[Theodore R.]

Correction, I believe there was a later liberal Republican mayor of Dallas after Bartlett, but the office is officially non-partisan.

Never heard of a single one of them

Ditto. Checked the list twice.

Bob Bauman, Tom Czmpbell, , Jim Leach, Pete McCloskey, Tom Petri and Chris Shays don’t surprise me. Mickey Edwards and Gordon Humphrey do.

...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 reminds me of an encounter I had with a liberal shortly after Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-NY) was assassinated in 1968. After deploring the assassination and moaning about violence in America, he added, "they should shoot Wallace!" (Alabama governor George C. Wallace, who was running for president as an independent.)

Back in the ‘70’s and early ‘80’s, Mickey “the Mick” Edwards was a conservative, but for some reason, his staff was always having position vacancies.

Sorry I left out the /sarc tag. :)

[Robert DeLong]

Sadly, he got his wish too.

[conservativesister]

they are SCARED OF LOSING LIFETIME BENEFITS

[Maine Mariner]

No need to have included the sarc tag. It is was pretty
clear what you were saying! :)

[gunsmithkat]

The key word here is “former”. RINO’s the lot of them.

[Garvin]

Thirty Former GOP Nobodies Come Out Against Trump.

There fixed it!

[right way right]

Trumps response should be that their activities while they were serving will be investigated for probable corruption.

What are they afraid will be exposed?

[Albion Wilde]

Never heard of a one of them. Guess they were easy pickin’s for a soros payoff.

[Robert A Cook PE]

And that will be typical of ALL of them: democrat associates, democrat policies, democrat checks and paybacks.

Trump is NOW the GOP candidate. WTF are these idiots thinking - other than their own future paychecks from democrats, right?

[SPOTTEDOWL]

At least Trump is flushing the RINO’s for us.

[uscga77]

Only displaying their true colors.

We know, a bunch of RINOs dedicated to Fat Cats in Washington and poor people everywhere else.
