      Yea, I’ll believe it when I see the vote tallies on Wednesday Nov 7

      To save *what?*

      The people supposedly attempting to save the GOP are everything wrong with it. They don’t like trump because he isn’t a religious nutter who wants to ban abortion, he wants the party to move on from that issue & they have made it their identity (for grifting purposes). The democrats don’t want the republicans to move on from it because the democrats know that opposing abortion is a losing issue, and are interested in *winning* not fundraising.

      Never forget they were the ones who lead to Trump and MAGA. The rats may be jumping ship now that he’s become a sinking burden and taking refuge on the S.S. Democrat, but make no mistake they’re going to be rebuilding their own boat once the orange emperor kicks the bucket. They’ll just make sure to patch up the holes they forgot to this round (by getting a smarter figurehead that doesn’t say the quiet parts out loud) and get right back to ripping away rights and cutting taxes for the rich/corporations, just like they’ve always done for decades.

      The only way that they truly #DumpTrump is to do what they should have done in 2020: publicly condemn him, distance themselves from Trump and stop supporting him in any way. Until this break is made, until the voters see that even his own party won’t support him, Trump will continue to threat democracy and the people he’s swearing to represent.

      It will be tough for R’s to do, but we must put all of this behind us. I doubt a single R who supports him would do that, but as we’ve seen in this election so far, anything can happen.

      GOP has made its bed. In my opinion, anyone who saw 2016-2020 and *still* supports Trump is forever unclean.

      I can never support any politician who backed Trump in 2020 or 2024. That’s my litmus test.

      Have at it establishment-GOP. You need to clean house if you ever want to have a party again.

      Best case scenario is dems became the moderate/corporate party (which they already are), and a viable left wing party emerges. Let’s shift the Overton window back to the left.

    13. Tron_Passant on

      The GOP is already dead. They let Trump subsume and suffocate it. They aren’t getting it back.

      The most likely path forward is a party split into some Old Guard Republicanism and the new wave MAGA party. Neither will be able to control a federal branch on their own, but they can probably claim enough seats to stifle Democrats and exert influence at the state level.

      After a few cycles of that, we might see the left do something similar with a growing progressive wing. Something to watch over the next 20 years.

      The GOP should be left to rot from the inside out. They all put in with Trump and were happy to jump on the band wagon. Rats on a sinking ship don’t deserve applause

    15. neuroid99 on

      Wow, if they team up with the Lincoln Project guys, the anti-Trump Republicans could number in the dozens!

    16. Equivalent-Excuse-80 on

      You know what would save the GOP? Adopting more popular policy

    17. hooch on

      Already lost one Presidential election. And another one looking grim for them. Not to mention the midterm blue waves.

      I’d say I’m surprised they didn’t figure this out earlier, but these people aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.

    18. LuccaJolyne on

      The only way any party can be truly saved is to change the system such that unacceptable behavior is truly forbidden. The GOP has been rotten for far longer than Trump has been a contender.

    19. whatlineisitanyway on

      The only Republican that could make any difference at all won’t endorse Harris unfortunately. Bush needs to step up and tell the American people Trump is unfit for office.

    20. highinthemountains on

      The only way the current MAGAt republican party will 💀is for a landslide blue vote from top to bottom of the ballot. Register and check your registration at vote.gov & vote on Roevember 5th!

    21. darfMargus on

      Trump is the embodiment of what the GOP has been fomenting for 70+ years.

      They wanna go back to dogwhistles instead of open racism, sexism, bigotry. Don’t let them.

      The ugly stain of fascism on the GOP can never be removed.

    22. Vann_Accessible on

      Please purge Ted Cruz as well.

      We really need a majority in the Senate to make meaningful change.

    24. melikecheese333 on

      Imagine having your head so far up your ass you want to vote for Trump again. Wild.

    25. woodyarmadillo11 on

      These people are just trying to abandon ship at the last minute. They know Trump is not going to win and their only chance of a future political career is to abandon the MAGA movement. This choice has been obvious for years. Flipping now does not make you a good person.

      Still, I’m happy to have them. The more we can get the better.

    26. LittleSeneca on

      I’m a John McCain small government style conservative. I no longer call myself a republican because of Trump. I am voting for Kamala Harris. The republican party of Lincoln is dead and buried. Has been for a long time too.

    27. hamsterfolly on

      But it was too late, for the MAGA was already in the room with the Republicans. The Republican Party needs to go

    28. Anyweyr on

      They can’t save it. Their voters WANT Trump. They’ve been brainwashed for years to only respond to Trump specifically, it doesn’t fully translate to supporting the “Republican” platform. The party can break up maybe, and the sane sociopaths reconstitute into a new conservative party, but I think Trump and his family now have a death-grip on the GOP. You’re not going back.

    30. vacuous_comment on

      It is not the only way. You have had plenty of chances before now to take action and Lindsay Graham knew in 2016 where this would lead.

    31. Drop_Disculpa on

      I don’t really see a viable way for the GOP to disavow MAGA, and “move on”. They will always have extremists that can win elections, look at people like MTG, and Boebert- there are MAGA districts, and whole regions of the country that will vote that way. The primary system lets them eliminate any moderate candidates, a new leader will emerge for MAGA, perhaps not as popular as Trump, but when he dies his shoes will be filled. The new leader will do exactly the same things as Trump to control the party.

    32. lastburn138 on

      Honestly, any Republican that isn’t full MAGA needs to wake up and get with the rest of us to save their party and the country.

    34. Global_Permission749 on

      To be clear, this isn’t because they disagree with Trump or the MAGA movement. It’s because they think he’s lost his mojo and is too open about their plans to end democracy in the US.

    35. JALLways on

      Can’t be saved. You know what they say about reputations. Takes a lifetime to build one, only 5 minutes to destroy one. No one will be able to trust the Republucan party for a long, long time after all the shit they’ve pulled.
