‘I Didn’t See A Way Back’: Long-term Repubican Explains Why He Left The Party | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Took you long enough Richard. How brave! smh
I left the GOP this year because of all the spineless QTrumplican cowards and I voted Dems up and down the ticket and I will continue to do so in the future until ALL of the QTrumplicans are gone from the party no matter how long it takes!!! This is a war for the GOP and I’m sorry to say the way to win it is to VOTE all the Dems in until the GOP gets it together and rids themselves of the spineless QTrumplicans cowards!!!
It’s so incredibly obvious that Trump is guilty, but millions of us are just watching the alternative reality party claim otherwise. Luckily, the republican party is falling apart. Turns out, the truth matters to many old school republicans too.
A robust Republican discussion needs to admit that there is something wrong with the erosion of the American middle class.
joe. the deficit talk only comes out when it helps the people, never when it’s for the rich.
Tim Cook in the service of the evil clown, the Bates Motel mother of Norman Bates, Nancy Pelosi, yes the evil clown majesty of it all, the family dynasty.
By the standards of international definition of left and right, the Democratic Party is center right. America does not have even a true center. So to describe Republicanism as center right is misleading. Moderate Republicans are substantially right wing to begin with. Americans are too ignorant of the world to understand that.
Haass I changed affiliation when Oliver North lied to Congress about giving missiles to Iran as a bribe to let the American hostages go. Where were you?
haley gambles safe side of 2024 race, allowing seditionists to do, then fade, tooled out.
danger, insincere frauds of south carolina; graham, mulvaney, gowdy, deceptive greedy evangelic-using-frauds.
BLOATED. Nearly half a million US Citizens dead because of government inaction. Is there another issue that is more important that we should spend tax dollars on? Are you saving for a rainy day? It’s pouring rain! The current COVID relief bill spends OUR money. OUR tax dollars. On US.
The GOP is fractured, divided among themselves. This is their civil war.
republicanism eroded america, starting with an economic fraud, ‘trickle down economic evaporation. tricks, see result using it 5 yrs ago; sickeningly, idiots killed kansas.
REPUBLICANS BANKRUPTED KANSAS WITH TRICKLE DOWN FRAUD.
Hey, where is your reporting on Melissa DeRosa admitting Cuomo HIDE the actual nursing home death numbers from the feds? Where is THAT reporting you hacks?
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear that the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned. The stunning admission of a coverup was made by secretary to the governor Melissa DeRosa during a video conference call with state Democratic leaders in which she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting. https://nypost.com/2021/02/11/cuomo-aide-admits-they-hid-nursing-home-data-from-feds/
Conservatism was always just a ruse to get average religious people with good intentions to follow a greedy gluttonous party for the rich.
REPUBLICANISM IS: i.e., then and now, CORE POWER IS OLD-FAMILY ROYALISTS, wannabe oligarchs like cruz, djt, tools. 60’s open party rhetoric was ‘we ARE old-family old-money english,’ our republican party o’ peasantry slavs, using ‘labor’ to reinstate them. our colonial monarchy, 1603 to 1776 => POPULIST DECEPTION of AMERICA’S ‘COMMON MAN.’
There is a Center Right in the country . It’s called the Democratic Party !
There are many leaving the party. The independent moment is growing and the majority of them are ex-republicans. Thank Trump and the far right loonies for that.
What happened to all of the millions of principled conservatives? Where are they now?
Absolutely right. It’s not the party it was!
Go to a third party. We are can handle it as a nation. Options will heal the divide.
What’s next the bad old days come back when we watch republicans with the KKK marching in front of the white house.
This means nothing. I mean you can still vote republican. This seems like another republican trying to do damage control. There will be more to come. They already have started to pretend they care about the debt about. Let’s see what else they suddenly care about again.
Nikki Haley is an opportunist and a cynical one at that. Where was her condemnation of the atrocious policies and behaviour before January 6th?
Geez, Democrats are “Center-Right” by international standards. Republicans have slowly ratcheted policies that would bring despotism, and have in some ways succeeded.
American politicians need an international perspective to even reach the center. Discussing Socialism would help to strengthen our Democracy, but the corporate-fueled propaganda machines have rendered this taboo.
