Several prominent Lone Star State Republicans joined in a call organized by the Texas Democratic Party to ask GOP voters to put country ahead of party and vote out President Donald Trump.

"It's not just enough to sound off against the president," said Republican donor Jacob Monty, who served on Trump's Hispanic Task Force before publicly parting ways over the president's anti-immigrant rhetoric. "We need to vote for Joe Biden. The consequences are just too great if we don't."

Monty, who helped mobilize Latinx voters for Republican George W. Bush's two presidential campaigns said Trump's racially divisive politics and lack of respect for military personnel are antithetical to his beliefs. For the first time in his life, he's now voting for a Democrat on the top of the ticket.

"All of that changed when Donald Trump descended that escalator and called us rapists and murderers," Monty said, growing red-faced as a he spoke on the Zoom call co-sponsored by the Biden campaign.

1. No offense to Mr. Monty, but...

that is who Trump was all along. It's been obvious to some for decades.

Appreciate the assistance, however. Maybe relatively reasonable (note, I said "relatively" ) Republicans like this can find a way to take back the nuthouse that is the current GOP. Or, at the very least, encourage cooperation and progress.

6. +1

2. Just a second, Sir.

"All of that changed when Donald Trump descended that escalator and called us rapists and murderers," Monty said, growing red-faced as a he spoke on the Zoom call co-sponsored by the Biden campaign.

Mr. Monty: that was 2015. So you vote for Trump after hearing this? You're only now changing your mind? Better late than never, but it looks like you voted for him in 2016 after hearing the quote you now find so offensive.

4. Exactly what Republicans in Texas will say, and then most vote Trump again. No doubt.

9. Even if some break ranks and vote Democratic this time

They will flock back like sheep to vote the next R candidate in 2024 if he's only half as insane as Trump. Biden, if he runs again, will have a tougher time in Texas then, if the R's have any kind of so-called moderate running like Romney or Bush.

[BComplex]

17. I so hope that, too, OneTexan! Hagar is awesome, and we'd do well to have someone as smart as her

replacing Cornyn. The sooner the better!

8. Showing more courage than mittens...

It's a bit late, but I'll take any help to bury this orange asshole's campaign.

10. Republicans need something positive to list on their resumes!...

12. It's a shame voters have to do what the Senate should have done.

They could have gotten rid of this scumbag already.

[cstanleytech]

13. Uh huh. I smell fear that they will lose political power now that they have their dream of a stacked

court system inside the US in place.
