Which GOP endorsement would help Democrats the most?

Edit: Not just a condemnation of Maga, but an unequivocal pledge to support Harris/Walz.

Women will decide this next election big time. Voting a Democratic straight ticket is what they fear most because that is what is coming. IMO.

Too bad Nancy isn't around to say "Just say no to trump"

I'd really like him to not only endorse Harris, but also say out loud "Trump tried to have me killed".

John Kelly, James Mattis, Mark Milley, et al. (I guess squishy McMaster is still supporting Trump?)

I mean, he was part of the 3 formers who backed Joe Biden.

As the endorsements from Republicans trickle in, the former tRump Cabinet officials will also follow suit.

He stated he is behind tRump despite all the shit he pulled and being the instigator of Jan 6th.

I think W would be a big deal, but people that worked next to him and can speak to his unfitness from first hand experience would be even more impactful.

This could lead to some self evaluation of many conservatives who currently just intend on not voting for President or pretending a protest vote is somehow courageous and ok even if it results in a second Trump Presidency. The National Review actually putting the survival of this country first and endorsing Harris would help the most.
