Josh Barro to the GOP "F- this I'm out.... [View all]

"And no, it wasn’t Trump who led him there, at least not directly. It was the GOP’s craven, spineless reaction to Trump that drove him over the edge. In particular he calls out Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Paul Ryan for “taking an action that risks the destruction of the American republic to advance their personal interests.”

I can only conclude from the available evidence that they love their careers more than they love America. And they are why I quit the Republican Party this week."
