I know it's not always right to generalize

[brokephibroke]

But can anyone name a repub who is not a total piece of shit?

Mitt and Evan McMullin seem about the best there is.

[Freedomofspeech]

1. Nope...

Not one that I can think of.

[RhodeIslandOne]

2. Mitt is a giant phony

If Trump farted in his direction he'd be there to bathe in it.

[Brainfodder]

3. Venture Capitalist Mitt Romney? Uh, NO WAY!

The worst of the worst perhaps even?

[Aristus]

4. Yeah, but they're all dead.

n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

15. That was going to be my answer.

[crickets]

19. "Living?" was my first thought as well. nt

[hlthe2b]

5. There is a morsel of integrity (varying) among nearly all the Never Trumpers...

Do I forget or forgive them their past enabling and in some cases, dirty trick campaigns to get less obnoxious (than Trump) R's elected? Hell no.

That said, they are not speaking out without personal cost. I salute them for that... the Rick Wilsons, the Steve Schmidts, the Nicole Wallaces, and yes, with significant lingering skepticism, the George Conways of the world.

There is a spectrum and no I don't forget where their core beliefs/principals come into direct conflict with our own.

6. The is a repub gov of Maryland I believe

He has to be normal..

[safeinOhio]

7. Some former ones. Mostly found on MSBN.

[Brother Mythos]

8. I'm thinking ... I'm thinking ...

Sorry, but I'm going to need more time to think about this before I answer the question.

[brokephibroke]

9. Fair enough

There are not too many...

[Brother Mythos]

20. I've got nothin.' So, what's your next question?

I just can't seem to differentiate between "total piece of shit," and "plain, ordinary piece of shit."

10. Charlie Baker - governor of MA.

A decent guy, even tho he's nominally a Republican.

[brokephibroke]

11. Thanks, I knew there were a couple good ones back east.

[abqtommy]

12. If Mitt is one of "the best (reTHUGS) there is" then it's no wonder that the party is going down in

flames. He's a total scumbag and I ain't referring to Devin Nunes' cow...

[Rider3]

13. I'm from Boston

Bill Weld wasn't a bad governor.

[JHB]

14. Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Thomas Dewey...

...Millicent Fenwick, Jacob Javitz...

I'm sure you can detect the obvious theme here.


I'll include Romney... George, that is, not his Trump-enabling son.

16. We have to look at with the underpinnings of Conservatism/Republicanism are.

I am sure you can find Republicans who are half-way decent or who are at least, not complete monsters. The problem is, what do they support? What is the end goal of Republican thought. What do they want to achieve as their stated goals and as what we know of them historically and in today's context.

We know that they have thrown in their support for a person who is completely corrupt and who has shown no loyalty to the actual country of the United States while putting out an image of America that is anathema to its stated values.

Republicans seem to thrive in authority, and conformity. They talk about freedom but they prefer order and would likely choose order rather than freedom so long as the order follows their ideals. They like to say that liberals are "imposing" or more likely "shoving our beliefs down their throats". The funny thing is that liberals tend to advocate for the expression of certain ideas and and conservative for others. Each side wants to have their ideas respected, however liberal ideas tend to be more inclusive while conservative ideas more exclusive.

A liberal would likely say that you can be Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, etc... just don't try to impose particular practices on me or on society. A conservative would complain that having to respect the different aspects of those other religions was a threat to their freedom to express themselves.

That is a fundamental difference. Now, a particular Republican may be more or less open to the idea of tolerance but they support a platform that promotes the dominance of one religious view over all others.

There are likely a lot of Republicans who are decent people, but their ideology leads to what we have right now with Trump.

[llmart]

17. Mitt?

You mean the Mitt who put his dog on top of the family car? The Mitt who bullied schoolmates at his upper crust prep school?

[brokephibroke]

18. God bless poor Seamus

I won’t defend that, but lately he has been the only vaguely reasonable voice the gop has.

[brokephibroke]

21. I knew Mitt would stand against trump

[madinmaryland]

22. Lowell Weicker?

[brokephibroke]

23. Good call....

[dustyscamp]

24. Joe Walsh and George Conway seem like okay people

[elleng]

26. George Conway: I believe the president, and in the president.

'I believe the president, and in the president.

I believe the Senate is right to acquit the president. I believe a fair trial is one with no witnesses, and that the trial was therefore fair. I believe the House was unfair because it found evidence against him. I believe that if the president does something that he believes will get himself reelected, that’s in the public interest and can’t be the kind of thing that results in impeachment.

I believe former national security adviser John Bolton has no relevant testimony because he didn’t leave the White House on good terms.'
