Donald Trump supporters are lashing out at Fox News after the conservative outlet said Saturday that "Over 200 former Bush, McCain, Romney staffers endorse Harris." Fox News reported on Tuesday on an open letter calling on "'moderate Republicans and conservative independents' to vote for Vice Pr...

      It’s amazing what a marginal shift in the polls will do to career savvy bureaucrats. These people were clammed up tight a month ago, when Biden was lagging Trump by double digits. But now Harris takes a small lead and whispers “Republican in my administration” and the floodgates absolutely burst.

      I wouldn’t trust any of these mercenaries as far as I could throw them, but I’m absolutely here for the spectacle.

        I hope the floodgates really do burst. If she could win by 10% in the popular vote, and take all the “battle states” and a couple supposed red states to boot it will do to things. Put the nail in the coffin, and all their Extremists will try to say it was all stolen and get themselves all in trouble and hopefully forever out of the way of progress

          That won’t happen. If you look at the spread after the battle grounds, you’re talking about a 5-10 point gap even after her current optimistic post-DNC bump.

          Republicans will enjoy a rump caucus indefinitely, unless Democrats seriously overhaul how they operate in the redder states.

      “Make Assholes Great Again”

      Takes off red cap and stares intently at the four letters. Turns to their friend, “Are we the baddies assholes?”

    The thing is, these guys are saying “people who supported Bush and MaCain aren’t real Republicans… we hate them!” are still trying to get those hated Republicans to vote for Trump aren’t they?

    Or is this all going to end with only a few thousand MAGAs yelling about how nobody else deserves to live in the USA?

      These guys really are deluded into thinking that they are entitled to their “version” of America, and that everyone else (read: most of the country) needs to get out. It’d be amusing if the looming threat of civil war wasn’t so palpable.

        Well, if they keep this up, it won’t be much of a civil war… and not just because they don’t know how to be civil.

        Civil war re-enactment happening here as always, heard people saying just last night they always cheer for the confederates.

        At least when you watch a sports team you don’t know the end result completely beforehand. Thinly veiled one might say

      If they weren’t pandering for votes from people they hated they wouldn’t be pandering for votes at all!

    Honestly, donOLD is not going to live forever. Why do these asshats support him so fervently? I wonder just how much landfill they are creating with all that dumb shit they buy that is rabidly anti-Obama, anti-Biden and pro-felon? And most especially someone that buys one of those stupid cards?

    It’s weird that people would get so butt hurt at a news outlet. Says a lot about who’s the sheeple and how much news outlets are involved and prioritised in their lives

    200 sounds like a big number, but out of how many? Is this 1%, 10%? Numbers like this without their context are kind of meaningless.

      View it as a barometer in context. 200 GOP staffers have openly endorsed Harris. For apples to apples comparison, how many DNC staffers have openly endorsed Trump? I did some googling and found zero.

    I don’t think conservatives endorsing the “left” candidate is the good news you think it is.
