After all this treacherous, obstructionist bullshit by the GOP, if they are STILL Republicans then they are beyond help or any respect. Republicans...fuck them all.

(149,523 posts)There are good Republicans, and these are some of them.
They may be the only good ones.
These men have intelligence, integrity and courage on their side. Don't lump them with the dishonest ones in the administration.
That would be a mistake.

(7,768 posts)Scarborough, Nicole Wallace, Steve Schmidt among others who had enough and left the GOP. Maybe when this debacle is over and these three are sick of being attacked and vilified they will have a change of heart.

...their voting record would be atrocious if they were members of Congress. They probably don't give a damn about racism, sexism or income inequality. Or about people lacking health care coverage. Or about treating asylum-seekers humanely. So, they aren't people I'd want to hang out with.
But they oppose law-breaking (and probably civil disobedience), and they oppose being attacked by foreign adversaries. Therefore, they represent our best hope of getting rid of Trump.

(15,265 posts)it was mostly because Rs usually voted to keep increasing defense spending or rarely checked whatever DoD requested. Their party registration reflected a financial self-interest. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a similar reason many law enforcement are registered Rs. But people in law enforcement generally have a more conservative mind-set, imho, too.
