Never-Trump Republicans lining up to help Biden win in November
June 7, 2020 | Jon Dougherty

Several high-profile Republicans — all familiar names — are reportedly joining forces to oppose President Donald Trump’s reelection, which in effect means they are helping his likely Democrat opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.

On Sunday, Kristin Donnelly, a senior producer for “The Lead with Jake Tapper” on CNN, tweeted that Colin Powell, former Joint Chiefs chairman and national security adviser to President George H.W. Bush, said, “I cannot in ANY way support President Trump this year.”

As the Washington Times reported, Powell said he will be voting for Biden because he says he and the likely Democratic candidate are closer on social and political issues.

“I will be speaking for him but I don’t plan to make campaign trips,” he told CNN, according to the Times.

Powell, who also served as secretary of state under President George W. Bush, said that Trump “lies” and that people excuse him anyway.

He also said that American foreign policy is shunned nearly everywhere in the world and that needs to change.

Ok, then in essence the Never Trumpers are liberals, period. They are preferring and helping a DEM over a Republican President who has in many instances helped to move this country towards conservatism.

Based upon the content of their recent columns, both George Will and Mona Charen (long-time conservative columnists) are clearly intending to vote for Biden in November.

Why? Because another Democrat administration would better advance America's interests at home and abroad? Because Joe Biden would be a better guarantor of our freedom and security?

No: because Joe BIden is not gauche and ill-mannered and thus does not offend the delicate sensibilities of Washington sophisticates, whose central interest is not winning elections, but respecting the cultural conventions of our elite overlords.

Anyone who thinks that Biden is going to maintain the DEM "cultural conventions" of yesteryears hasn't been paying attention.  Regardless if they are considered conservative columnists; voting for Biden is a liberal vote, period.

Trumps administration has not been a good time for career bureaucrats & beltway denizens of the kind Will and Charen hang out with.

It's nice to know who your friends are.
And who they NEVER were, and never should have BEEN...

That is, what some have stated here, from Fake Deacon days  (only to be proved correct within weeks when he declared he was for Hillary)


Trump should have been dead, from taking Hydrochloroquine

Trump is racist, for shutting down travel to China

We are all gonna die from chovid-19

We are all gonna lose our money in the stock market crash

Trump will incite WWW3

Trump will incite terrorist into our  sububurbs

Our allies will turn against us.

Trump should not act with haste

Why didn't Trump Act sooner?

Ad infinitum

This is why I left the Never-Trump movement.

This is why I left the Never-Trump movement.

 

I cringed in voting for Trump; however, it was in my mind a vote against the opposition.  There is no way I couldn't vote against Hillary and the only viable alternative was Trump.  I never imagined the strength, tenacity nor leadership of Trump.  He has flaws just like everyone else, but he has accomplished a lot in his 3 1/2 years; so much so that the opposition has done just about everything in their power to bring him down.  They have been unable to do so because he isn't surrounded by their corruption; which speaks volumes.  His base is still in tact which IMHO is in part why the coronavirus was inflicted on this country; to destroy his base, to destroy the economy and to destroy Donald Trump.  Now the opposition has seized yet another opportunity with Floyd, this time the opposition has taken things a step further; they don't care if they completely destroy this country and are trying to do so by dismantling our law enforcement in this country and replace it with their own "enforcement"...as long as they bring down Donald Trump, they don't care. 

IF Biden succeeds, not only will our Republic collapse but we will see complete anarchy leading to a dictatorship -- no way at that point would Biden stay seated. 

The Never Trumpers are either too stupid to see what's going on are they are a part of the "movement" to destroy this country.

Just my opinion.

Your opinion and mine, too.

Powell didn't support McCain nor Romney.  So why are they acting like this guy is still a Republican?

Exactly. It was hilarious to see all the stupid headlines.
"It is with deep deliberation and a heavy heart, that Bush and Romney have decided that they can no longer support Trump."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!

This being portrayed as a recent 'change of heart' based on how the riots were handled. Pure nonsense. These two RINOs along with Powell were always going to support the Democrat, no matter who it is. These are One World Global Socialists. Of course they hate Trump. "America First" is like a stick in the eye to them.

They prefer "UN First". They want to make America an international territory under the control of foreign powers. They would very likely try to have the North American territory admitted as part of the EU.

These represent a very large segment of American politicians who are embarrassed by America's greatness and success.

I can empathize with someone not willing to support Trump.  However, I could never empathize with anyone choosing to support Biden.

Yes, I get that, but it still boils down to two viable candidates; Trump or Biden.  No one running 3rd party is really a viable candidate.

Their candidate don't have to be viable.  It is still a choice.  McCain wasn't viable in 2008, but lots of people still voted for him.

Even I held my nose for that SOB.  Romney too.

[jafo2010]

These maggots voted for Clinton in 2016.  Only our corrupt media would consider it news that these maggots are publicly declaring their support for Biden.  They are all part of the cabal lining their pockets with gold while pursuing global domination.

I'm not sure Powell was ever a Republican.  Just because he worked for Bush does not make him a Republican.

They are all globalist, all enemies of the USA from my perspective.  I just do not care what they have to say, and frankly, I think the people they influence is insignificant.

+1000 for using a Rush reference, from one of Rush's biggest fans...  (me)

I'll add another  apt Rush metaphor so descriptive of the left.....

Anthem of the Heart and Anthem of the Mind......
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind

I think there have been examples of Biden's gauche nature on the campaign trail.
As far as Gropey Joe's manners go, maybe ask the ladies that must be listened to, unless of course they are talking about a Democrat.
