Don Jr never get anywhere in politics he's a nobody who has no personality nothing like Trump. No one will even remember what position, or what he did by 2022.
Perhaps these Republicans realized their party is not their party anymore. The Republican Party has become a party of Tea Baggers, fake Christians and convenient conservatives. The Tea Party has taken over the Republican Party. I predicted it in 2013 (not on City-Data mind you) but as Igot to know from the 2013 shutdown, they are disgusting legislative terrorists. The Christians I think are fake since they forgive Trump
for all his sins over the years, yet openly hate gays. The conservatives only complained about government spending when it don't go to their pet projects, corporations and the war machine.
Yes, the shutdown that would have had the U.S. default on its debt obligations for the first time in history, destroying our credit rating, driving up our borrowing costs (interest rates), and piling on even more to the national debt. And all the while they claimed to be fiscal conservatives and budget hawks. That's when I knew the Tea Baggers were morons and phonies.

Be sure to include that Trump Republicans are also Racists. Not everyone who voted for Trump last time may have been a racist, but every damn racist who voted, voted for Mr. Twittler. And anyone who votes for him this time is a racist as well.
Part of their racist diatribe now is "All lives matter," so they can ignore that it is black lives that are on the end of their injustice.
Imagine Jesus saying "Blessed are the poor----"
and Republicans crying, "Blessed is EVERYBODY, including the rich."
That may be, they are Republicans, after all. I think you have a point.
The Republicans gave us Nixon, who secretly sabotaged peace talks to win the election in 1968, and condemned our country to three more years of war and 20,000 more needless deaths. Then he abused the powers of his office to manipulate the next election.
The Republicans gave us Reagan, who initiated the Iran-Contra scandal, illegally promoting an insurrection and caused the arms for hostages debacle with our arch enemy Iran.
The Republicans gave us George H. W. Bush, who pardoned the criminals in Reagan's administration behind the Iran-Contra scandal.
The Republicans gave us George W Bush, who initiated a war on Iraq under false pretenses, then publicly threatened North Korea, prompting that country to restart it's nuclear development program.
Once that corrupt and traitorous Trump has been flushed out, the Republican party will creep back to it's old habits, for sure. You can count on it. The Republican party is the party of dark money, and that money needs a place to go. The 'Republicans for Biden' movement is a temporary thing, they are not becoming Democrats, they just want to clean out the pestilence in the white house today and they will eventually get back to their old tricks:
If it's about tax breaks for the rich and foreign globalist corporations, any Republican could do that. We don't need Trump for that. He just happened to be the guy there at the time.
If it's all about 'the judges' after all, they would appoint the same judges. Trump takes credit for appointing conservative judges but he just picks off of a list the regular establishment Republicans hand him, the same as any other Republican president would do. Ted Cruz would do the same, so would Mitt Romney.
With Trump in office there is no upside for the Republican party, he is dragging the party's reputation through the mud, and sinking the party's prospects of regaining the house or even retaining the senate and worst of all damaging the constitutional separation of powers (which is precious to all patriotic Americans) while leaving our country open to foreign subversions. They must get rid of Trump or see their party go down the toilet for good.
By endorsing a Democrat this time (who after all, is a pretty safe choice for socially and fiscally conservative voters anyway) it is like chemotherapy for their own party. Such treatment is a tough experience to go through but the only way to save the precious life of their 166 year old reliable advocate for the rich and big business.
Jimmy Tosh, who runs a multi-million dollar hog and grain farm in Tennessee, is a lifelong Republican. He is pro-gun, supports lower taxes and agrees with most of Republican President Donald Trump’s agenda.
He is also spending his money to help defeat Trump in November’s election.
“I agree with 80% of the things he does; I just cannot stand a liar,” Tosh, 70, said of Trump.
Tosh is one of a growing number of wealthy conservative Americans who say Trump is a threat to democracy and the long-term health of the Republican Party. They are actively supporting his Democratic opponent in the Nov. 3 vote, former Vice President Joe Biden.
RVAT, which launched in May, is among a growing number of Republicanled groups dedicated to making Trump a one-term President. Since December, longtime GOP operatives and officials have formed at least five political committees designed to urge disaffected conservatives to vote for Biden. The best known of these groups, the Lincoln Project, has since forming late last year gained national attention for its slick advertisements trolling the President. Right Side PAC, led by the former chair of the Ohio Republican Party, launched in late June; a few days after that, more than 200 alumni of George W. Bush’s Administration banded together to form an organization called 43 Alumni for Biden. There’s also the Bravery Project, led by former GOP Congressman and erstwhile Trump primary challenger Joe Walsh. And plans are in the works for a group of former national-security officials from Republican administrations to endorse Biden this summer.
Now, in the final stretch of the President’s term, the Never Trumpers could finally have their revenge. Four years ago, Trump won the Electoral College by some 77,000 votes scattered across Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. If even a small slice of disillusioned Trump voters or right-leaning independents defect to Biden in November, it could be enough to kick Trump out of office. “They are the constituency that can swing this election,” says Sarah Longwell, a longtime Republican operative and founder of RVAT.
This constituency now appears more willing to vote for Biden than they were six months ago, in no small part because of Trump’s faltering response to the corona-virus, which has killed more than 140,000 Americans and ravaged the economy. Between March and June, according to a Pew Research poll, Trump’s approval rating among Republicans and Republican-leaning voters dropped seven percentage points, to 78%. A June 25 New York Times/Siena College survey found that Biden has a 35-point lead over Trump among voters in battleground states who supported a third-party candidate in 2016. “Any small percentage of voters who no longer support him could be critical in closely matched swing states,” says Republican pollster Whit Ayres.

Time to get the racists and deplorables out of the GOP and back into the underground and 4chan chatrooms where they belong
Never Trumpers are a dying breed. Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Ben Sasse, Cory Gardner, Ben Shapiro, and even Charlie Kirk (his most vocal supporter now) were all never Trumpers who support him now (and this is just a tiny fraction of former never Trumpers).
I tend to think they're all in a marriage of convenience, but not in love, with Trump. Win or lose, he's gone in 4 years.
All those Senators know that if they can still thread the needle with the folks back home, they'll still be around in 6 or 8 more years when there's somebody else pulling the reins at the front of the wagon.
If you want a long career in Washington D.C., run for the Senate. The first try is always the hardest, but it's usually smooth sailing after that.
Trump is nothing but a patch of rough weather all the Republican Senators had to face. Since the storm wasn't going to stop, they decided to go with the prevailing winds and ride it out. Don't expect any of them to be all in for Trump after he's gone; he never built anything that permanent with them.
I can't wait until he's out of the picture and I can hopefully be an R again. I'm not too hopeful now though as the party seems to be moving in this direction of isolation and conspiracy theories.
I noticed none of Martha McSally ad's for her re-election campaign mention Trump wonder why?
