Ok, I was fine with the Republicans denouncing Trump.

My hair didn't burst into flame, my head didn't spin around in circles while I projectile vomited and I see it as a path to winning the fragile swing states.

We need the swing states which went for Trump. It was painless for me and I guarantee you it hurt a lot of Republican/Independent voters who made the mistake of voting for Trump. Republicans saying Biden is a good and decent person isn't the Democrats selling out. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Susan Molinari on Donald Trump, "so disappointing." That was hilarious.

Fingers crossed some Repubs watching at home and those who see clips later are swayed.
