Republicans against Trump

Joe Walsh throws his hat in. Weld has been there. Kasich not ruling it out... The party wants none of it and claims they are steadfastly behind Trump. I don't believe that for a minute. Most are just scared to be labeled as a Republican who does not approve of how he is doing the job. That is different from some of the what he is trying to do.

We are so far behind the Chinese in so many ways now and the American people are so blind to it. And the current administration thinks it can overcome miscalculations of the past eight administrations? Not without a working relationship with the Chinese and understanding them. They are not going to be dictated to. Plenty of foreigners going to China for education and working careers, many becoming millionaires and billionaires. This is the new age. That is what used to happen here. Before we started showing the world we are not going to be welcoming the new minds and their creative technological advances... We are screwed in the new world order unless we work from the top down. (and looking around at the lazy average folks I see, we don't have the workforce here now.)

So I will put my foot in as a Republican against Trump. There. I have said it. He is not the answer. (Nor do I see anyone in the Democratic slate.) We Americans need much more intelligent leadership or we will continue to fall into the second level of world leading powers

I’m an independent, but I certainly feel Trump is a real danger to our national security and if anyone thinks he is the chosen one; they are deaf, dumb and blind.

Bob, I am a right leaning independent, brought up in a Republican house, but will vote for the person over party. And freely admit I voted against HRC and would probably do so again... but we wont get that choice. I am just hoping for a choice here.

Iran being invited to attend meetings says a lot about our relationship with our allies. That relationship is very important to world piece and Trump sh*t’s on it at every turn. Ross, I too was raised in a republican household and heard many heated debates over politics. Today marks the anniversary of the death of John McCain and as hard core a republican my dad as a decorated marine aviator, would have been absolutely livid over Trumps treatment of McCain and his disdain for our valued democratic allies.

As repulsive as his disdain of McCain and values may be, the more important issue is recognizing what our position has become within the world order. It is no longer as the leader and that wont be regained with our father's values, at least not without a little tweaking... The Chinese are going to tell us to pound sand.

Mr Trump asked why the US couldn't drop a bomb into the eye of the storm to stop it from making landfall,

sadly it did not come from the onion

He's said or tweeted a giant list of bigoted or otherwise insensitive things over the years. He'll pull at a lot of Trump's base that's for sure

I haven’t cared to track who voted for who, but I do know who supports who and I also can easily predict when and who will be throwing out their usual insults.
