Cliff Notes: Republicans  confiding to this legendary Republican they are secretely voting for Harris.

By Kevin Manahan | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Former Tarrant County Judge Glenn Whitley — a life-long member of the Republican Party who served from 2007 to 2022 — has been one of Texas’ most prominent Republicans.

And as the November elections approach, he sounded a warning: He is voting for Vice President Kamala Harris over former president Donald Trump, and while he’s announcing his break with the party publicly, he believes many Republicans will vote for Harris in secret.

“There are a lot, I think,” Whitley said. “They’re afraid to come out, because when they do, they get ridiculed and they get bullied and they get belittled. And so a lot of people who have been staunch Republicans and still are staunch Republicans, are afraid to stand up and be confrontational with some of the leaders that we have right now.

“It’s going to be close, but I truly believe that that a lot of Republicans are going to go into that booth and say, ‘I can’t support the insurrection.’ ... I have talked with a number of people who I believe will do that, and they may not openly come out and say, ‘I’m voting for Harris,’ or they may just not vote.”

When it comes to Trump, there are a lot of reasons for Republicans to reject him, but also good reasons to vote for Harris, Whitley said. While Trump holds a four-point lead in the latest Texas polls, Harris is leading in most battleground states, but many polls are within the margin of error.

“Trump has constantly belittled and, you know, bullied people,” Whitley said. “He’s disrespected our military and our vets, he was convicted of paying hush money to a porn star. And then the thing that broke the camel’s back for me was the insurrection on Jan. 6.

“And so that’s the reason I wouldn’t vote for Trump, but the reason that I will support and vote for Harris is the fact that I do believe she wants to lift people up.”

If you want Cuba or Venezuela, go right ahead.

Look right at the fallout from Hurricane Helene to see exactly what America will look like.
The Republic is lost.

I remember when Limbaugh said the Clintons were sympathatic to the communist (always brought up Clintons trip to Russia) and a Bill Clinton presidency would usher in a depression, terrible economy etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

90's was one of our greatest decades, balanced budget, major welfare reform.

Yeah Newt helped and was a major player but the fear porn never happened.

Just as Trump said not once, not twice but THREE  times the stock market would have a huge crash under biden..yet record stock growth,
