3. Republicans for Joe - is this really a thing?

I've been predicting all along that many Repukes would be quietly abandoning Chump before November. Maybe they wouldn't bring themselves to pull the lever for Biden (I hope some will though). However I believe massive numbers will refuse to vote for Chump , they'll just stay home and that's the thing we need.

What burned us badly in 2016 were all the last-minute decision-makers who did the "eeny meeny miney moe" and went for Chump at the last minute. Those people won't do that this time. Most of them have already realized the huge mistake it was. They never drank the Kool-aid (so to speak) and they can see what a disaster we're in now.

But I never anticipated that a real group would actually gather steam under the name of "Republicans for Joe." I'm still a little skeptical about this, maybe it's just a couple of guys fooling around on Twitter. Does anybody know how big this group really is?

5. It's definitely a thing.

Not sure how many members they have, but they have money, and they’re spending it to insure that Trump is defeated in November. They’d rather have Biden.

And they’re not alone. There are several “Republicans for Biden” PACs out there, including The Lincoln Project.

8. Don't forget

that some of those "on the fence" doing the "enny-meeny" thing were pushed off of the fence by FBI Director Comey's letter to Congress.

10. Apparently so. Makes sense if you think about it....

There are Republicans who deeply believe in democracy and rule of law as concepts that supersede individuals and ideology. Though they may at times play a bit faster and loser with it in our eyes, they don't want to just chuck it all and devolve to some klepto-fascist replica of the Russian Federation. Once this is over, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled ideological fights, within the box of liberal democracy.

When told he had the vote of all thinking Americans: "That's not enough; I'm going to need a majority"

11. LOL. If you can read we will vote for you.

Sad that this is a bar for being POTUS. By the way JFK had trouble reading due to dyslexia. It did not keep him from doing his job because he accepted help to get his job done. He was one of my favorite presidents. I used him as a role model for my students who had trouble reading. I also had tools in the classroom to help them adapt their learning styles. tRump is just to lazy and narcissitic to accept help, and he is unable to adapt. Worst president ever.

13. If they are intelligent we do not have to win them over, they are already there.
