Republicans For The Rule of Law?

This "organization" has put up a new video, VERY new since it has clips of Sondland's testimony on it. I wonder who the "Republicans" behind this operation are. It urges R's to come to their senses on Trump. What do you think? Maybe some hope? Maybe one 400 lb. guy in a basement?

One thing I noticed was on Lindsey Graham's quote. His first name is misspelled. Someone just took his quote and posted it with his photo.

I'd say, "Good for them!" It's about time they realized their party is in deep doo-doo.

I took those quotes as ones they found useful. Lindsey certainly hasn’t aligned himself with them.

It's a group he founded (last year?) to put out ads to push against Trump firing Mueller, and it's continued putting out ads like that.

It's under the umbrella of another Kristol group, Defending Democracy Together, whose leadership is chock full of what you'd expect from "a 501c4 advocacy organization created by lifelong conservatives and Republicans — many of whom have served in Republican administrations and write for conservative publications".

Namely, people who have spent their careers building a foaming, pliable base that would give them the electoral numbers they need to push their radical conservative agenda, and they're pissed that their hellbeast preferred letting Trump ride it instead of them.

I don't trust R's in any form.They are certainly reaping the "benefits" of their treachery of the last 30+ years.

To convince most thinking people that the current Republican Party hasn’t had corruption woven into the warp and woof of its very fabric.

I don’t believe that the Republican Party can be freed from this level of corruption even if certain Fundies’ pipe dreams came true (if perhaps too early for their liking) and God’s holy angels descended from Heaven early next year and carried Donnie away to one place and Father Pence away to someplace else. Let the GOP go the way of the Whig Party.
