purity folks need to sit down and be quiet. We need all the help we can get to beat trump. The Dems have never been a purity party and those that think we are, are totally wrong.

.... Carly Fiorina has spoken up, and declared she will vote for Joe Biden. She never really was a factor in the 2016 election, but she does have name recognition among republicans, many of which she may have some influence. I did not like her 4 years ago when she was on the other side of the fence, and whatever she does in the future is something I will deal with when the time comes, but right now we need all the support we can get to make sure Joe Biden keeps rolling and gaining momentum. I do hope we see less of the petty bullshit I've seen displayed, and more acceptance of those who now understand, and recognize the mistake they made in 2016.

I also wasn't anything close to a fan of Carly Fiorina, but my opinion was based on policy, not character. By speaking out like this now, she's showing her core good character. I think she's putting country ahead of party, as we should all always be doing.

.... about most of the current and former republicans who have aligned themselves in the effort to defeat trump. Some I have even grown to admire and respect. Among those are members of the Lincoln Project who have produced some of the most brilliant and effective anti Trump ads so far.

He would spew out whatever he thinks he needs to in order to get what he wants. I honestly don't think for a second that he supports the policies of the Republican Party. He'd turn on them in a second if benefited him personally.

When I think of people like jeff sessions, who I have zero sympathy for, and the way drump beat his ass down to a little pile of stinking goo, it further proved he will turn on anyone, including his most avid supporters if he sees any benefit at all for himself.

and the city of Colorado Springs, about her "core good character".

Maybe there's an evil shell around her not quite as evil core.

I'm just thankful when any anti Orangass Republican speaks out.

That unlike that idiot Bolton, she didn't only say she wouldn't vote for trump but she will vote for Biden because it's a binary system. If they are going to write in or go third party they might as well vote for trump.

.... who should have spoken up when it would have done the most good. I to believe that voting third party or writing someone in is a chickenshit move, but, I think of it this way. At least a third party or write-in vote is a vote trump won't get.

...a second term of Trump. But he says he won't vote for Biden. There are only two people with a credible chance to win, and he won't vote for the one who isn't Trump. To the extent that he persuades anyone else to think the way he does (to find some other non-Dem to vote for), it means he'd be willing to increase the risk of a second term of Trump--he would rather see the country not survive--before he would vote for Biden.

It doesn't matter that he's saying some things we agree with. This is a case of once an ass, always an ass.

BTW, I'm certain that she remembers Donald Trump stating this about her for the record:

Honestly, though, who can blame me? That seems like a lifetime ago and every day he says something even more vile, more hateful and more... stupid. Every. Single. Day.

He is heinous.

No end to his meanness.

Because he's still doing it.

He's despicable.

glad she's finally waking up

Gotta admit, Donald did buy a well exposed escort.

She had to have her 'kidneys' enlarged, though.

She just doesn't seem to be genuine about anything. Her core is so ugly that it exudes through her pores.

It even oozes out to show on her clothing.

I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Good one!

But me either... 🙄

It's fairly rare, but truth that drumpf is a traitorous menace to America is seeping through the partisan right wing madness, in places. If they had actual humanity, it would be a flood.

OrangeAss's base won't leave him, but I think the Republican Party, as a whole, is going to lose a lot of support if they don't start standing up for decency and put country first.

But, then, I still believe in the core goodness of most people.

No more. I now sadly realize there is a large pool of outright hate and killing greed and treachery, enabled and pushed by our oligarchs and their equally hate filled, greedy & traitorous representatives - the russian repug party. Now, there are some (a few?) traditionally repug people that have retained some humanity, and those have realized the horror of drumpf and do not support him any longer. For the rest, they are anathema, deplorable is too kind. So sad the pool of Nazis, white supremacists, science deniers and big money criminals & grifters is so large here in this country.

Barr and McConnell and Gym Jordan and.............

I don't even want to think about it. I'm trying to have a good day.

I had cataract surgery yesterday & I can now see 20/16 with my left eye - what an amazing difference. Of course I'm still blind as a bat in my right eye until next Tues. But I'm sitting here, without glasses & see the screen perfectly with my right eye shut. I've worn glasses every second I was awake for over 60 years, so this is just amazing to me.

A couple of weeks ago I had an eye issue. I thought I had gotten something in it because I was doing some sanding, so I used an eye wash. Nothing changed. My son talked me into going to the ER (it was a Friday night), and then I saw an ophthalmologist the next day. I have a vitreous detachment, so I have that floater thing going on. It's mildly annoying sometimes, but I'm ever so grateful for my sight, so I'm not going to complain.

He also told me that I have a slight cataract and slight macular degeneration, so that doesn't make me happy, but I'm still thankful for what I have. I'm definitely a glass half full kind of person.

This is the most important issue that has overshadowed every issue. It began with Nixon and has continued with intensity over the last forty or more years. It has been grasped by the religious zealots who are determined to establish a theocracy and the greed of the plutocrats. It is a simple matter of manifestation of fascism that we have been warned about but continues to be neglected. If you don't believe it is real just consider what is taking place in the Department of Justice. The first causality is the death of justice.

The Bizarro World Queen Midas. Everything she touches turns to shit.

She didn't do much good for Hewlett-Packard.

Continue to be a mediocre Republican, Carly.

She stated the funny money charades at AT&T/Lucent, which was the start of its downfall and Enron-like pension plan. My dad lost 80% of his pension value.

they must convert their fellow repubs so their ballots can be added to hers. Let's see you walk the talk, now.

saying they would vote for Hillary? Well they didn’t.

Republicans. Are. Liars.
