1. Chosing country over party

Putin's bounty hits hard

11. Yes. As it should. nt

12. Choosing career prospects over a lead balloon

This fellow is just beginning his career as a Republican apparatchik.

He looks at what benefit there may be to being a loyal Trump-humper vs a party that wrecked itself on the combination of Trump and ideologues, and does the math.

[wnylib]

18. Exactly. It's good that people

in the Republican party are deserting Trump. But they are looking out for their own hides and their own futures because Trump is so insane.

They want to be able to say in the future that they opposed him. Their policies and programs will still be terrible for the nation and the American people.

Good that it gets Trump's ass kicked out of office. But I am not impressed with the party that allowed him to get into office in the first place and waited until now to oppose him, after the damage is done.

I will never forget and never forgive, no matter what they do to try to rehabilitate their public image.

[jimlup]

28. Kinda' but

on the other hand, I argue that they are doing the only thing that can possibly save their failing party.

The lasting legacy of this period will be the damage that DJt has inflicted to the once great but now gravely compromised GOP.

[not_the_one]

29. Kudos to him for having the guts to say this.

But the GOP does not deserve to be saved.

Come November 4th I hope to be able to THANK DONALD TRUMP for completely DESTROYING the Republican Party. I also hope the fundigelicals' influence on ANY political level is ALSO completely destroyed.

[gratuitous]

2. So what are you going to DO, young Will?

Talk is notoriously cheap, and you're really short on the details of what you stand for that you think the present administration has betrayed. Because going into this administration, Trump was the darling of the entire Republican party, and has only solidified his standing among Republican elected officials. Maybe you need to re-examine your beliefs and ideals, because Trump has only been carrying out the stated policies of his Republican base.

[CountAllVotes]

5. K&R!

All talk and no action.

DUMP TRUMP!!

[dhill926]

3. then help GOT Goddamn V....

also against one of his main enablers....LG of course...

[Squinch]

4. This is good. I think this is the first flush of what I hope will become a

tsunami of Republicans abandoning Donny Bodybags. The more that do it, the more cover it gives to those who are doubling down in their support of Donny Bodybags because they don't want to admit they were wrong.

[wnylib]

19. They deserted Nixon, too, like

rats fleeing a sinking ship.

Then they bounced back in 1980 and gave us Reagan.

Never trust a Republican. Ever.

[lastlib]

26. YES!! NEVER trust a skunk to do anything but spray you with stink.

Same with a republikan.

[appalachiablue]

34. +1

[MagickMuffin]

6. What you still in support of your current Senator Lindsey Graham?

He's an ENABLER, ya know. Your party's pResident and every republicon is his enablers!


I think your best interest is to lose the party of hate!

[Siwsan]

7. My beloved father was an Eisenhower style Republican. I'm betting he would be voting for Joe Biden

Dad was a conservative guy, but he was also a rational, realistic guy. In some ways, Joe reminds me of my dad - devoted to family, and, as a proud Marine who served in President Truman's Honor Guard, Dad was whole heartedly patriotic. He would have been repulsed by someone like trump*. Oh, and my Dad was also a 'hugger'. As I tend to be, when it's appropriate.

Not so sure about my mother. She thought Dick Cheney was an 'honorable man'. I feel she would have rationalized and denied.

[exboyfil]

9. My father in law was a Taft Republican

He has been voting Democratic since 1980 that I know of (empty suit Reagan). He might have been even earlier. I just know he hated Reagan with a passion.

It took me a bit longer. I was a Republican until about 2002 (Iraq War). In my defense my parents were Republican (my mom still is). Bush Jr. lost my dad when he kept calling up National Guardsmen for his Iraq fiasco. Not sure he ever voted Democratic before he died about 13 years ago.

[frogmarch]

8. It made me think of

the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie, the one with Pee Wee Herman in it as a vampire, performing his legendary death scene.

A high school student is interviewed after vampires storm their prom:

[interview after vampire attack]: "They had fangs. They were biting people. They had this look in their eyes — totally cold. Animal. I think they were Young Republicans."

[ms liberty]

27. Buffy the Vampire Slayer always did have witty dialogue. n/t

[captain queeg]

33. Steve Miller and Jarad look like vampires. I wish someone would stake them.

[StarfishSaver]

10. Great. But he says he still supports Lindsey Graham

But baby steps, I guess are better than standing still or going backwards.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. Sounds very thoughtful and intelligent.

So why is he a College Republican? Whatever fantasy philosophy he believes - something like financially prudent and small government trope, that track history of Republicans over the past 40+ years hasn't existed/

And he ought to look at the club members he is involved with in school. Bet a whole lot are like Trump nutcases that will carry on the Trump-Republican legacy.

He'll figure it out soon.

[calimary]

14. Hmmm... College Republicans...

That's where kkkarl rove got his start.

EVERYTHING that comes out of their mouths needs a second opinion. That's where the GOP's future dirty-tricksters get their training wheels. It's the breeding ground of choice. The Nursery of Non-Truths.

"College Republicans." Trust them only as far as you can throw your house.

[Dem2theMax]

15. Will, what about the racist part?

You didn't mention the fact that Trump is a racist.
Don't you have a problem with that?

[Skittles]

31. I am guessing the answer to that is a big fat NO

I can guarantee you Will and his repuke buddies have no problem with brown kids in cages

[Dem2theMax]

32. And I would guess that you are 100% correct.

Sadly.

[jayschool2013]

16. Say. The. Words.

Say it, Will: "I encourage all young Republicans to vote for Joe Biden; to vote for Jamie Harrison to replace the shameful Lindsey Graham, who has for too long kowtowed to Trump; to vote for decency in government."

Say the words, young man. You can do it.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Wonder when he'll be impeached as president of College Republicans?

[Brainfodder]

20. So I'll call that the 3 of hearts, the house cards is doing down?

Should have an easy time making a 52 + 2 joker deck of Republicans?

Jokers = Moscow Mitch & Death Count Donnie himself?

[SiliconValley_Dem]

21. I guess Russian bounties on US soldiers isn't behind us

[jaxexpat]

22. What is this boy's excuse for ever being a republican....

in the first place. Betting the explanation is all bullshit.
It's too late for this "bravely running away" from the avalanche of evidence anyway.

[matt819]

23. That's fine

I'd like to ask this guy what were the values that prompted him to support Republicans when he was a teenager. He's what, maybe 20-ish. We're talking 6 years ago. Obama was president. The republican president before him was Bush 43. What values did this kid support? Failure to react to reports that a major terrorist attack was likely? Subsquent lies that resulted in multiple wars, one of which is still ongoing? Did he support the collateral damage of more than a million Iraqi civilians? Did he support the economic policies that resulted in the Great Recession of 2008 that a Democratic president had to fix? Was he even a little put off by the likely fact that there were no people of color at his republican students meetings?

Also, at what point did he say enough is enough about trump?

I get it. This is a good development. But he still couldn't find a way to say that he was voting for Joe Biden. I would like to know why. Too many people of color? Not enough stuff for white people to go around?

[Ilsa]

24. Lindsey Graham needs to see this. nt

[CaptainTruth]

25. It's truly sad that things had to get this bad before they spoke out.

[Cha]

30. Wow.. More hands on Deck! Rt! Bet steve miller did NOT see this coming..

[JDC]

35. Glad to see these videos, but let's be clear: This is conservatism

There is no high road for that platform. It is a bottom feeder. Trying to reclaim moral fortitude at this late stage falls flat in my mind.

[rickyhall]

36. Good Republicans? Who knew?

[BobTheSubgenius]

37. The Aryan is strong in this one.

I know it's more than superficial, and I'm commenting on looks instead of substance, but it just hit me in the face as soon as I clicked the video open.
