    Be that as it may, it still says that the people who have had personal dealings with Trump won’t support him.

    It gives non-MAGA Republicans “permission” to also not vote for Trump.

      It really doesn’t, no. A few paleoconservative war criminals taking a personal dislike to him won’t sway any member of the cult away.

      Blindly following Trump as if he’s the second coming of Jesus is more important to them than any other allegiance. The moment anyone speaks out against him, they become the enemy.

      The only people who approve of there turncoat criminals are people who are already going to vote for Harris no matter what.

      The only people whose opinion could be changed by a bunch of war criminals endorsing her are those that are already on the fence about her because of her insistence on arming Israel. Adding awful people who ALSO support that Apartheid regime blindly doesn’t help with that.

      Disclaimer in case it’s necessary: while the reluctant people on the left have good reason to be wary of her, I’m 100% in favor of voting for her and then holding her accountable for her actions and lack of same, rather than let Trump become the last president of the US.

        Did you not read the comment you replied to? They explicitly said “Non-MAGA”, which would be people outside of the MAGA cult, lol

          Oops, missed the oxymoron. There’s no such thing as a non-maga Republican. Hasn’t been for years.

              We prefer “conservatives.” Government to handle social issues capitalism doesn’t account for, and while they may chafe, regulation that protects the common good. No abortion or gun nonsense. I voted red in the 90’s, and now the same candidate comes in blue.

                In Canada, our conservatives are more like “Let’s see what we can privatize. Highways, healthcare, utilities…cut funding for schools and other things, but write cheques to the population every once in a while so they’ll like us”.

              First rule of rational politics: never let demagogues self-define their position on any political axis 😉
