Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said on Monday that he’s assembling a team of former Cabinet members to speak out against President Trump in an effort to find a Republican challenger to the president in 2020.

“I'm in the process of putting together a team of people that feel the exact same way that I do. This is not a ‘Never Trump’ situation, this is not just screeching rhetoric. This is, 'OK, the guy's unstable, everyone inside knows it, everyone outside knows it, let’s see if we can find a viable alternative,'” Scaramucci said Monday on CNN’s “New Day.”

“Moreover, I’ve got to get some of these former Cabinet officials in unity to speak up about it.”

Scaramucci would not reveal names of former officials that he said feel that Trump is unstable. But he said he expects more to come out publicly in upcoming months.

1. I'm not putting much trust in this . . .

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. No, but I relish the thought of anyone jabbing at Trump.

anything to make him have the big one.

2. A Trump Italian slur in 5, 4, 3...

Because if Italian-American Republicans (of which there are so many, sadly) think Cheeto doesn't have choice words for them - mama mia!

3. Last chance to salvage something positive from their destroyed reputations.

I hope it helps.

5. If this annoys Twitler...

I say, Bless you Anthony.

Because my guess is this will have Dear Leaders knickers in a twist!

[Leghorn21]

7. Yep!! Anything to upset the crybaby-in-chief tickles the hell out of me, Kat!!

Sure would be great if he could pull this off, but it seems he most likely lacks the gravitas to assemble, oh, Mattis, McMaster, Coates and such like...(it would be righteous, though!)

6. Scaramucci is kind of a buffoon, but if he can pull this off, more power to him.

8. Absolutely zero interest in trolls having their "come to Jesus" moment

This has absolutely zero to do with “finding a republican challenger” to unseat the CFFWSG and everything to do with trying to rehab what he perceives as a tarnished reputation. All of these enablers sold their souls knowing that with enough exposure what they’d done would be pushed into the background. Most of the public have a very short memory.

Not with me. Not ever. Not any one of these evil users.

9. Mooch on the loose!

There's already Bill Weld running against Trump and Mark Sanford is considering a primary challenge, too.

[Ford_Prefect]

10. So the Orange One is a bad but his policies are worth defending? Is that the real message Mooch?

[tanyev]

11. Good luck with that, Mooch, but it would have been far more useful

if your team had spoken out WHILE they were Cabinet members.

[Eugene]

12. These people belong behind bars, not anywhere near positions of power or trust.

Sorry, Mooch. Putting kids in cages didn't disgust you enough to quit. In fact, you stuck with him until he turned on you.

I'll be happy if the ex-Trumpers turn state's evidence, but they are still accomplices.

13. He's pushing his book

Making the rounds..

[FreeLookMode]

14. What's his angle? Future run for office?

?

[Dave Starsky]

15. They all wish they had a much smarter, less lunatic guy to lead them.

They are currently stuck with stupid Hitler.

[struggle4progress]

16. "I'm trying to put together a coalition of anti-environment, anti-government, anti-tax, pro-gun

ideologues who don't sound like Donald!"

[Bayard]

17. Former cabinet members....

Supposed to be ethical, or just retaliatory?
