Many, many Republicans have abandoned the Republican party since it became the party of Trump.
Yes, and this is why trump will be a one-term president. If he wins the Republican nomination, he is likely to lose the general in a landslide. He has lost a huge voting block (women, blacks, Hispanics).

I predict he will have a primary challenger if they can find anyone brave enough.

ok whatever makes you feel better at night for the next 2 years
Keep us posted on that. As you know very well, every reporter is not entitled to a White House press pass, because of the first amendment, which is what you seem to be implying. CNN still has a pass and the White House is certainly still allowing CNN to send a reporter - just not that raging a-hole Jim Acosta.
This lawsuit is a nuisance lawsuit. It would be hard to come up with a charge that is more patently absurd than that CNN's first amendment rights are being impinged on by not allowing a certain reporter in their employ to not only attend White House press briefings, but to rage uncontrollably while in attendance and to intentionally treat the hosts of those meetings with vicious disrespect.
Can anyone imagine what the response would have been if ANY reporter had spoken to Barack Obama like that at a press conference? Not just by the White House, but by the same people who are now defending the conduct of Jim Acosta?
CNN doesn't have a pass; hard passes are reporter-specific. The case law clearly supports the Plaintiffs' position, so I suspect your claim that this is a mere "nuisance" lawsuit will almost certainly be proved untrue. The Appellate case law is clear on this point. I'm sorry for your ignorance on this topic - maybe read the Sherrill case and become informed.

The intern attempted to retrieve the mic (which was her job) AFTER Trump had already called on the next journalist. Acosta used physical force to keep the mic after he had already been dismissed.
It doesn't matter. The law doesn't make provisions for circumstance. Granted the judge probably would have handed out a very small punishment.
Backtracking their claim that Acosta struck someone else... Now they are claiming his press pass was revoked for refusing to yield the mic after asking 2 questions and that they revoked it to act as a "check" against the monopolization of the press conference by one reporter.

Bottom line: IF Jim Acosta didn't have such a huge ego and a big mouth, he would have given over the mike, shut up and sat down. He has NO class whatsoever, and should be fired at the very least for causing a scene and disrespecting the office of the President, regardless whether he likes the man or not.
