I have mad respect for the Republicans who have joined us in trying to stop Trump.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I would have joined them in trying to stop George Wallace if he garnered our party's nomination.

[Mme. Defarge]

1. With so many apparently gutless wonders

one has to wonder what the Trumpsters have on them. And if the defectors are doing so at their own risk.

2. I voted republican

when Lester Maddox ran for Gov of GA. Sane people cross party lines when insane people are running on their party's ticket.

9. My Grandmother from Arkansas

said the ONLY Time in her life she voted for a Republican was when Winthrop Rockefeller (Republican) ran against Orville Faubus (Democrat/Segregationist). This is what people SHOULD do.

On another note, Democrats are always, always more able to auto-criticize. It doesn't matter the buffoonery, the dishonesty, the hypocrisy, most Republicans will vote party line. It's like preparing somebody Shit Pie a la mode, and they'll lick their lips, stuff their gullets, and then try to make YOU eat it too.

3. Many of them oppose him because they don't think he is conservative enough

Important to remember that.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. Limited government =/= fascism

[oberliner]

5. I'm talking about the ones who think he is a closet liberal

Which is what Ted Cruz used to say.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. He is/is not a closet sociopath.

[oberliner]

7. My only point is that some of those right-wingers may not be worthy of our respect

It is great that they are not supporting Trump, but their reasons for doing so are often dubious, if not detestable.

[Coolest Ranger]

8. Right

I will never respect anyone who values their race over the good of everyone else

[grossproffit]

10. Many oppose him because of his white nationalist dog whistle. No Hitler on their watch.

[oberliner]

11. That is true

Will those people vote for HRC though?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Trump really is a bad guy.

He is literally the first major party political candidate in history to show open contempt for democratic norms and the rule of law.

[oberliner]

13. Yes, but the hatred of HRC on that side is pretty intense

Can they bring themselves to vote for her or will they go third party or sit it out?

[AmericanActivist]

15. I respect them too.
