Republican Trump critics plan to hold alternative convention during RNC
By Tal Axelrod - 05/15/20 03:57 PM EDT

Republican critics of President Trump plan to hold their own convention to run counter-programming to the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. this summer.

The Convention on Founding Principles, which The Republicans for a New President campaign is spearheading, will also take place in Charlotte from Aug. 24-27 and feature “speakers, thinkers and leaders from across the country,” the group said. Delegates at the event will also ratify organizing principles, vote for preferred candidates and “plan future actions.”

“For three and a half years, the nation and the Republican Party have suffered under the failed leadership, corrupt dealings, and incessant lies of Donald J. Trump. Rather than maintain their principles, other Republican leaders sold their integrity for personal benefit and became his enablers,” the group said. “[P]rincipled and former Republicans must now unite in offering a vision for better leadership and a brighter future for America.”

I'm betting that a large portion of these people are Democrats pretending to be Republicans.
And the whole thing is likely funded by George Soros and the DNC, through ostensibly Republican channels.

I don't think I'd enjoy hanging out with those folks either but for the first time in about 20 years I'll be voting for one of the two major parties candidate instead of one of the third party candidates who I considered most conservative.

Whoever the Dims are running is getting my vote I'll be definitely casting an affirmative vote against Trump...and will vote for the most conservative candidate down ticket.... :shrug:
