*** A handful of GOP speakers spoke Tuesday night at the convention, including former Trump voters, Republican political operatives and a former Trump White House aid, Stephanie Grisham. Other anti-Trump Republican voices are scheduled to speak later this week in former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who served on the House Jan. 6 panel, and former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who has already endorsed Harris.
*** Grisham lambasted Trump’s character and said he mocks his supporters in private. Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers,” she said. “He has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth.”
Republican strategist Ana Navarro, a vocal Trump critic, also spoke Tuesday night where she compared Trump to the communist dictators of her home country of Nicaragua. Trump and other Republicans have claimed Harris’ policies would put America on a path toward communism and socialism.
“I know communism. I fled communism from Nicaragua when I was 8 years old. I don't take it lightly, and let me tell you what communist dictators do, and it's never just for one day,” she said, referencing Trump’s past authoritarian rhetoric.
The Republican mayor of Mesa, Arizona, said the GOP had devolved into the cult of Donald Trump that he no longer feels welcome in as a self-described “lifelong Republican.” ***

I don’t know how a professed “lifelong Republican” could vote for the commie, pinko, bed wetter Harris.
These “republicans” don’t have to just get on the DNC stage...
In the primary for US Senate in MA, there are 2 Anti-Trumpers.
Thankfully, there is a third, MAGA candidate (and even a fourth, didn’t get enough to be on the ballot, running a write-in campaign).
These people are very valuable to the left. They are cosseted and lionized by their Trump deranged comrades in arms. They may yet come to the realization that they have moved beyond the pale and caused harm to America by enabling the left.
Because there are ONLY two parties now:
1. The MAGA Patriot Party
2. The uni deep-state party.
So let me get this straight, there is only one issue on the Democrat plank: We hate Trump.
Ana Navarro was only 8 years of age when her family came to the US from Nicaragua in 1980.
She has no real knowledge of communism in Nicaragua or anywhere else, obviously.
Just shows his principles are not about ideology or rationality, he will support someone completely opposed to everything he claims to have believed in, just to spite Trump.
These people are about hatred of Trump, not about what is best for the nation.
I’m surprised Romney and one of the Bushes aren’t speaking.
Yep.
An examination of the most Dem aligned polling indicates the following —
Trump has support of about 90% of Republicans.
Harris has support of about 90% of Democrats.
This has been the ratio in every election of recent memory. There are no changes here.
There is no substantial Never Trump faction. In fact, it’s even more remarkable in that the ratio holds despite this showcasing on a nearly daily basis of Never Trump Republicans in the media.
It has no effect.
Stephanie Grisham? A traitor and a sour puss. I’m surprised not to see Omarosa there, yet another ungrateful turncoat.
Lenin called them useful idiots; they are losers who parlay their utter disregard for any principles to make a few bucks and keep their ugly faces in the limelight. Anything for money.
Let’s get one thing STRAIGHT.
Those anti-Trump Republicans are nothing burgers.
The biggest anti-Trump Republicans were Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan who proclaimed the border wall was dead on arrival as soon as Trump took office and Little Beauregard Sessions who stabbed Trump in the back less than three months in office.
I’m not going to waste in energy hating on the likes of Adam Kinzinger.
I saw it, short and weak.
Mostly that. I think we’ll find they live in the DC area.
There’s plenty of anti Harris democrats too, but they’ll still vote democrat.
Some have pointed out that they’ll go RFKjr but if the RFKjr Trump merger happens that might not be the case. However I was listening to RFKjr Veep Nicole Shanahan concerning this merger and she voiced her strong opposition with Democrat positions and policy... it was very articulate and it was very interesting listening to her perspective.
I don’t think that DJT will be opposed to a merger. Might even be a vote multiplier.
RFKjr seeks to start a 3rd party, and knows that the dems will successfully kill off America. DJT understands this as well.
Either the progressive, Marxian DNC globalist beast is slain or America vanishes.
Not a single Trump critic can name a single policy that Trump is wrong about.
It’s all generic boogie-man hysteria.
Meanwhile, we have endless tangible proof of the totalitarian, authoritarian nature of the left.
The so-called “lifelong” Republicans that are coming out against Trump are lifelong sellouts and traitors who had no problem posing as allies of conservatism when they always only ever acted to sabotage it.
The enemy within.
They should all hang.
Trump should get the former workers of Harris as VP to get on stage and talk about how nasty and rude she was to them.
LOL, my mother went to her grave cursing Jeff Sessions.
I too am surprised Romney isn’t up on the stage at the Dem convention bashing Trump.
No Lizard Cheney?
