Some of these are familiar names of anti-Trumpers, but there's some surprises on the list too. We haven't seen anything like this level of defections from a major party since at least the nomination of Barry Goldwater in 1964. Dozens of former GOP lawmakers announce opposition to Trump | TheHill
Quote:
A group of 30 former GOP lawmakers signed a blistering open letter to Republicans on Thursday, warning that Donald Trump lacks the “intelligence” and temperament to be president and urging the party to reject the Republican presidential nominee at the polls on Nov. 8.
Quote:
"It is in that spirit that, as Donald Trump’s unfitness for public office has become ever more apparent, we urge our fellow Republicans not to vote for this man whose disgraceful candidacy is indefensible. This is no longer about our party; it’s now about America. We may differ on how we will cast our ballots in November but none of us will vote for Donald Trump.”

If you can cite an election where a party's nominee has sustained this level of defections among his own party and yet was able to win, tell me about it. I'm all ears.

This election is establishment vs non-establishment.
Doesn't get more clearer than that no matter what party decides to be against the non-establishment candidate and its supporters.
At the finish line (election day) we'll see who wins.

The defection is from establishment politicians, not Trump voters.
The more the establishment rejects Trump, the more support he receives.
Remember that Trump set a new Republican record for the most votes in the primaries, and that was with 16 other candidates, splitting the votes.

With so many intelligent Republicans bolting from the GOP standard bearer, all that is left to support Trump are the deplorables. Country First!
Intelligent? LMAO...They are FORMERS for a reason. That means that weren't intelligent enough to stay in office and do the right thing, they were sellouts to Globalism and they got tossed. Far from intelligent.
