Anti-Trump Republicans Will Back Democrats In Swing Districts For 2022 Midterms (they always did anyway)
Ibtimes.com ^ | 10/14/21 | Ben Scheffer

A group of anti-Trump Republicans has announced they will endorse a group of centrist Democrats living in swing districts in the 2022 midterm elections.

The Renew America Movement (RAM) was founded by moderate Republicans after the insurrection that took place at the Capitol building on Jan. 6 after numerous false claims of election fraud made by former President Trump.

The group is headed by former Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, R- NJ, and former Gov. Bill Weld, R- Mass, who both agree supporting moderate Democrats is vital to protecting democracy.

“There is an urgent effort by Republicans and former Republicans to stem the tide of anti-democratic and lie-based Republican leaders in congress before it’s too late,” RAM said in an announcement.

"With the mounting threats to our democracy and Constitution, we need people who work proactively to lead their party and the country away from the political extremes," Joel Searby, the group's national political director, told Reuters.

RAM will be endorsing 11 Democrats, 9 Republicans, and 1 Independent in the upcoming election. Among the candidates receiving endorsements are Sen. Mark Kelly, D- Ariz., Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D- Va., Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D- Mich., Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R- Alaska., Sen Liz Cheney, R- Wyo., and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R- Ill.

Very few are fooled by this. These are "republicans" that hate conservatism, always have, find it uncomfortable and icky.

Their numbers are dwindling so they have to support those who are left.

Their numbers would be higher if 50 of them hadn't retired in 2018 to help out the Democrats.

But that's how it goes.

Oh, too bad.

A “moderate” Democrat in the House is one who “thinks” for two days before voting in full for Pelosi’s agenda. Remember, there was ONE in the House who opposed her wide-ranging overturn of the Hyde Amendment and on virtually every other piece of socialist legislation.

The Lincoln Project was a ZERO in 2020. These scumbags are all bluster with no bite. Like barking little chihuahuas behind a fenced in area.

An oxymoron, like "patriotic traitor."

endorsements are Sen. Mark Kelly, D- Ariz.

________________________

Kelly branded himself a a centrist, spend millions advertising himself as being for all Arizonians.
Then voted 99% with Schumer!
Turned out being total partisan, not a bit centrist.
Fool me once!

In Virginia it has been the custom for years dating back to Oliver North for Republican establishment elites to defeat any conservative candidates and support the democrat opponent. Examples include North, Cuccinelli, Stewart, Brat, several attorney general and congressional candidates.

A few months ago, I answered a call from the RNC. After the motor mouth stopped to take a breath, I asked her which Republican party she was talking about? She then asked what I meant? I asked if this was the Bush, Cheney, Paul Ryan Republican party ? After a few seconds she said “ Oh no” , I said “ Bullshit” and hung up. I haven’t heard from them since. HAHA
