WASHINGTON — Since Donald J. Trump began dominating American politics more than two years ago, Democrats concerned about his policies and behavior have taken solace in a group of influential Republicans who have consistently assailed the president as anathema to the values of their party, and the country more broadly.♥♥♥


In the past year, however, influential liberal donors and operatives have gone from cheering these so-called "Never Trump Republicans" to quietly working with — and even funding — them.♥♥♥♥


Through invitation-only emails and private, off-the-record meetings, they have formed a loose network of cross-partisan alliances aimed at helping neutralize President Trump, and preventing others from capitalizing on weaknesses in the political system that they say he has exploited.
Concerned by Trump, Some Republicans Quietly Align With Democrats


The ONLY 'HONORABLE' Republicans!

Glad to see some Republicans are putting our Country first over party.

Sorry but back channel GOP and Dem alignments doesn't cut it. We need GOP Senators to come out publicly and challenge trump daily on the nonsense he spouts. Reports indicate many of them whisper their contempt for trump, yet remain silent on the record. They continue to put Party over Country.

Trump used the republican party to get the nomination. He is not a politician beholden to the special interests. He is putting the country first and trying to clean up the mess left by previous administrations.

I would prefer a more polished approach - but he is getting stuff done. First president in my lifetime that is actually doing what he says he would do. If not for the roadblocks put up by career politicians -- much more would get done.

Smaller govt is needed. We have to bring jobs back to the US now because once we lose having the worlds reserve currency - we will no longer be able to call the shots globally and will actually have to support ourselves.

That is why we need to continue to be in the vanguard to warn the public of the dangers of Trumpism and its attack on truth, justice and the American Way.

Trump has managed to intimidate his Republican congress. The Congress are mostly cowards with their complicit behavior with Trump. Ryan is MIA. For a speaker of the house he is the worst. He is just keeping a seat warm at this point. Some of these jokers aren’t running for reelection. I am curious as to what they have to lose by speaking up at this point?
