The Trump campaign was completely blindsided. This betrayal is sickening.
And Donald Trump’s blood is boiling because of what a traitor just did to him.
The saga of RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) trying to clutch their pearls in the face of Donald Trump’s national success is long. As soon as Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, the “buttoned up” Republicans who were appalled that a political outsider would throw their hat in the ring were crying and wailing.
There was literally a push from powerful Republicans like Mitt Romney — the ringleader of RINOS, some would say — to have the establishment do whatever it could to thwart the Trump campaign. These schemes just weren’t enough to overcome the overwhelming grassroots support Donald Trump had to win the nomination and eventually the general election against Hillary Clinton.
While Donald Trump has enjoyed a lot more support this cycle compared to 2016, there’s still a handful of Republican betrayers who are trying to be a thorn in the side of Donald Trump, even if they are powerless and are just trying to go down swinging in anger that Donald Trump reshaped their “precious” Bush-era GOP.
Another Day, More RINO Crying About Trump on Leftist Mainstream Media
In a recent appearance on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, former Republican Congressman David Jolly shared his deep concerns about the possibility of his daughter growing up under a second Trump presidency. Jolly, who represented Florida’s 13th Congressional District, expressed his unease during a discussion with host Nicolle Wallace, highlighting the stark divisions that continue to define the political landscape.
Jolly, now a vocal critic of Donald Trump and the GOP, recounted a telling moment with his young daughter. Despite not fully understanding politics, she expressed support for Vice President Kamala Harris, casually stating, “I’m on her team,” even though she couldn’t quite explain why. Jolly reflected on how this simple, innocent declaration supposedly demonstrates a broader sentiment among Americans who feel disillusioned by Trump’s divisive rhetoric and behavior.
“This is what’s making it so difficult for Trump to regain the broad support he once had,” Jolly remarked. “A lot of people see him as divisive, they’re fatigued by his constant controversies, and they genuinely view him as a threat to democracy. But this is 2024, not 2016. The country has seen a Biden-Harris administration that’s focused on building an economy that benefits everyone, expanding access to healthcare and education, and representing America on the world stage with decency and strength.”
Jolly pointed out that these tangible efforts from the current administration have created a coalition of voters who, while not necessarily aligned with a specific ideology, are increasingly united by their aversion to Trump. “They may not be able to label the ideology, but they know it doesn’t offend them. And at the heart of it all, the real issue for them is Donald Trump,” he added.
Jolly’s journey from Republican lawmaker to staunch Trump critic is well-known. He officially left the Republican Party in 2018, citing his discomfort with the party’s unwavering support for Trump and his belief that Democrats should take control of the House of Representatives. Since then, he has consistently used his platform to voice concerns about Trump’s impact on the country.
“Back in 2017 or 2018, when our daughter was just born, I remember sitting with Brian Williams and saying I hoped Trump would be out of office before she was old enough to even know who he was. Now we’re living in that reality, trying to shield our children from the chaos and division. We’re holding onto the hope that they might grow up knowing a President Harris, not a President Trump. And that’s a sentiment shared by millions of Americans who simply don’t want Donald Trump leading this country again,” Jolly added.
The RINO Race Refuses To Go Extinct
This is a prime example of how RINOs who are completely irrelevent these days are just desperate to go down swinging at Trump in anger that they aren’t welcome in the modern conservative movement.
This election is no different. While there’s far fewer RINOs in 2024 in the Republican Party than in 2016, they still want to do what they can to get in Trump’s way and prevent him from winning another term in the White House. It’s clutching pearls like it’s 2016 all over again.
Why else would you be a “Republican For Harris” when Kamala Harris is one of the most anti-conservative politicians around. She’s literally sold herself to the radical “progressive” movement in exchange for relevancy and success on the national stage.
Oh, that’s right. That’s exactly what those establishment RINOs do too. Sell themselves to the Washington, D.C. machine just to stay in the limelight as long as they can. Shameful.
