I’m happy to have their endorsements, but when they say Trump “is no Republican” they are wrong. In fact, Trump is all that Republican Party is and now stands for.

They aren’t talking to you. The are trying to reach other GOP voters.

Let’s be clear: you don’t have to be a Democrat, or support Democratic candidates in general, to be anti-Trump. This looks to be the basis for a growing split in the republican party between Trump supporters and the remainder of the traditional Republican party of everyone from Hoover to Pappy Bush.
Basically, Trump is a RINO who is simply an agent for himself with a posse of right wing followers. He’s also a supporter of the democratic form of government in name only, and is rapidly moving on from that as he looks closer to losing the election.

Weird. You’d think, were Trump not a “real Republican” that wouldn’t be necessary.

I’m really happy you two guys are supporting Joe Biden, but you are sadly and naively mistaken:
Donald Trump is the epitome of what the Republican Party has been since 1932. It is not a modern aberration; they have always been this way, and Donald Trump is the leader they have dreamed of in their masturbatory fantasies.
I wish the Lincoln Project, which I am also glad is helping to defeat Biden, would also wake up and smell the fucking covfefe.

The Lincoln Project is trying to save the brand they’ve put so much time and money into.

No doubt but if you think I’m trying to stick up for the GOP you’re wrong.
However I do not look gift endorsements in the mouth either.

My point being, pretty much, that Republicans can actually call Trump a menace, and a threat, and unfit, without going to the blatant falsehood of “not a real Republican”.
But, like the LP, they’re too loyal to the brand to leave that lie behind.

Yes I get your point and it’s a valid point for this board but not for GOP endorsements that seek other GOP voters and asks them to really look.
You and I are just as prone to reflexively support and vote for Democrats regardless of how Democratic they really are when there is no other choice too. At least I am I am a Democrat. I want that D to count no matter if it’s an anti-choice D if that’s all there is because I don’t like voting for Repugs because I don’t like them. Well there are voters don’t like voting for Ds and will reflexively vote for a Repuglican even when they don’t like them or think they are true Repugs. Do I really have to explain something this simple over two endorsements?
Jeez, I’m sorry I’m ever positive about anything sometimes.

I think the governor of my state of Massachusetts is a virtual certainty on that front. Don’t know that he’s explicitly said so, but given the rest of what he’s said, I can’t imagine he’ll be pulling that particular lever.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”

There ain’t no use in me working all the time
I’ve got a woman who works herself blind
works up to her britches up to her neck
writes me letters and sends me checks
She’s a humdinger! Folk singer.

Stabbin’ my picture with a bowie knife

Exactly. A Republican is precisely what he is. They built that, and they’re riding it like Slim Pickens on a missile.
