Well said. And it's totally beyond me how anyone could vote for a convicted felon, let alone that he's allowed to run Rhiannon12866 Aug 12 #2

Save the party, vote for Harris. We must remove the Trump cancer. (my paraphrase).

One thing we many find is that once a lifelong republican takes the leap, they may just discover the water is fine over here. Their stereotypes of Democrats are often pretty warped, particularly if they've spent any time watching FOX news. Open the door a bit and reality can finally seep in.

I say let the remains of the party die. Replace it with something that’s in the mainstream.

I will never vote for any Republican again unless they’ve disavowed Trump. It’s a pretty small list and pretty much consists of Cheney, Righleman, Kinzinger and maybe a few others. Oh, and I have to agree with their policies too, which narrows it down even further.

Those people who watch Fox etc will never get the message the other Republican people are sending out, only the fox lies.
