Have any of the most vocal "never trumpers" indicated how they plan to vote down-ballot?

I'm referring to people like Nicolle Wallace, Joe Scarborough, David Frum, Rick Wilson, etc.

Mitt Romney (aka Pierre Delecto) appears to be setting himself up as the alternative / emergency replacement presidential candidate for the GOP. If trump is replaced, I'm pretty sure the never trumpers will vote for Mitt or whoever the replacement candidate is.

But, regardless of which presidential candidate they vote for, how do they plan to vote down-ballot? Will they continue to vote for republicans in the down-ballot contests?

If so, that would be hypocrisy in the extreme, considering that repubs in Congress have shown that they're not willing to stand up to trump to protect our nation.

I hope the never trumpers understand that our current crisis is not just about trump but about each and every spineless republican in Congress who has empowered him. Those cowards should not be rewarded with another term--they must be removed to ensure that this never happens to our country again.

is voting all Democrats, and possibly Jennifer Rubin.

however, I think George Conway and others are probably voting (R) outside of the president.
