In reply to the discussion: Steve Schmidt: "Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party." [View all]duforsure
(11,885 posts)41. Republican Senators now need to
Break away from whats left of this party that supports such horrific policies against humanity, and switch to the Democrats side to retake control of the Senate now, and away from McConnell , who's become a tool of trump's. Vote against their immigration bills, and make trump stop his policy. All of Congress should tell trump no legislation will be introduced until he reverses his policy, no exceptions. If they give him anything they should be voted out of office. The American people should vote out of office all republicans or the country will lose its Democracy for good. Congress should have a zero policy against trump , and stop this inhumane and cruel policy designed to intentionally hurt and damage children forever.

It's been a journey for Steve, and perhaps his courage will make it easier for others.

I've known a few who have left the GOP. They turned it to active, vocal, raging liberals.
