Uncomfort with these never trumpers popping up

[zipplewrath]

Basically I don't trust them. Basically you've got a bunch of republicans voting for Biden even if they don't support most of his positions. If they are victorious, then what will they do? Will they be welcomed back into the GOP? Will they become the re-incarnation of the DLC? Will they spend the next 2 years convincing several senators that they owe their seats to them and demand a "seat at the table" so to speak? I really wonder what their long term strategy and goals are.

1. Maybe they want to form a third party in the middle. Canada has had that

and the middle party usually wins, though any party in canada is to the left of most American parties. I don't trust them either.

2. First put out the fire

Then worry about what to do with the burned out husk of a building. That's basically where we are.

If the Never-Trumpers have a firehose, we need to welcome it.

3. Do this:

Take 'em in and take their votes.

Be SURE to take the majority of both the House AND the Senate, along with the White House.

When they say ANYTHING, tell them to sit down and shut up!

5. Hopefully their goal is to

help defeat Trump.
Then try to reclaim what is left of their own party.
We will owe them nothing for trying to save what is left of the country.
It is what decent citizens do.

16. I've been hoping for that since Clinton

Reagan ran out the "Rockefeller republicans" from the party and they came over to the democratic party by and large. That pulled the party to the right. But more importantly it allowed the massive shift to the right of the GOP. It ultimately became the party of the insane RWNJ. I've always wanted them to go back to the GOP and reinstall some sanity so we could have real debates in this country instead of having to talk about Pizzagate. I'm just worried that they'll have a hard time re-establishing themselves in a party that to a great degree as seeing them as traitors to the cause.

19. Corporations are the reason our country

has moved to the right.
They own everything and want even more.
Our freedom and comfort come last.

7. Who really cares? Yes, they re Republicans in revolt against what has become revolting. But...

are they at heart decent people we happen to have some disagreements with?

Of course they will go back to their Republican caves, but the simple fact that they didn't drink the Kool-Aid means they are most likely useful and productive members of society that we can disagree with without the insanity.

8. Eye on the Prize

take notes, take names ... learn a few things in the process

it's not the Dem's $$ paying for those ads, so let them do what damage they can
when the time comes, if they're aimed at us, we can be forewarned and forearmed

we're not weak ..

9. We need them. No purists tests worthwhile here.

10. Their intentions are to clean out the republican party of Trumpsters

They know that the party as it is now, is toxic and they are still conservative republicans but they are willing to take down the party to rebuild it. We all know they will revert back but for now I will happily accept their help.

11. Most of them are not 'popping up'.

They've been violently opposed to Trump from day one - they were the only ones within the Republican party who saw how truly dangerous he was.

Oddly enough, Lindsey Graham used to be one - but he's the type you should be uncomfortable with, not the true 'Never Trumpers' - they've risked their entire careers to do what they're doing and should be applauded for the courage and effort.

At least I applaud them.

12. It's an uneasy pact

13. How many of these threads are we going to have? And what is your point? You want them to stop?

[obnoxiousdrunk]

14. This is thread# 2.

[Squinch]

20. Lots more than that.

[zipplewrath]

17. I want to know what to expect

I don't want to get caught off guard.

[Takket]

15. seriously?

we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. as of right now drumpf is the greatest internal threat the country has ever known. that's the only thing anyone should be worried about right now........ using any resource we have to defeat him.

[BannonsLiver]

18. Who cares.

They’re useful right now. In the present. Certainly more so than those bleating about their efforts.
