So the former Republican Governors of Ohio and Pennsylvania and the GOP former Lt. Governor ...

... of Indiana and the widow of John McCain have all come out for Biden?

Gov. Ridge even used the "d-word" deplorable. Remember when Hillary used that word and
all the faux outrage?

"It’s deplorable, yet utterly consistent with past reprehensible behavior."

Republicans for Biden*. Even in Oklahoma people have had it with Trump.

Two former GOP congressmen, Charles Djou of Hawaii and Mickey Edwards of Oklahoma, announced their support for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in a Roll Call opinion article.

Djou and Edwards are part of "Republicans and Independents for Biden," a group of nearly 100 former GOP lawmakers who are supporting the former vice president.

The pair blasted President Donald Trump as "an ill-formed man who lacks basic self-control and shows no semblance of inner character."

Representative Francis Rooney of Florida: Mr. Rooney has said he was considering supporting Mr. Biden partly because Mr. Trump was “driving us all crazy” and because the president’s handling of the coronavirus led to a death toll that “didn’t have to happen.” Mr. Rooney’s hesitation about Mr. Biden was his worry that left-wing Democrats might pull the former vice president away from the moderate political mainstream. But he does think Mr. Biden can win.

“A lot of people that voted for President Trump did so because they did not like Hillary Clinton,” Mr. Rooney said. “I don’t see that happening with Joe Biden — how can you not like Joe Biden?”
