"It's time for Republicans to admit the obvious, and to start saying the quiet part out loud, which is, that our party's nominee is not qualified for office. We need to vote for the adult in the room, and that is Kamala Harris" John Giles, Mesa AZ Mayor

Don't believe that these Republicans have any values or convictions, they're only saying things like this to better position themselves in the party if and when the party rejects Trump. They would be perfectly happy to follow Trump if he was performing better, because they fundamentally agree with Trump. The core tenet of conservatism is "more money for us, fuck you", there are no deeper or more meaningful principles behind conservatism.

The tik tok logo jingle at that moment really feels ironic, there.

I agree. I got the clip from instagram.

Never was. Took them long enough.

I’ll give him a little credit for still being in office rather than retired but, yeah. 8 years ago would have been better
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
It took them eight years to admit this shit, amazing.
Clockworkdancerobot
I'm sure they eventually said the same when Nixon finally resigned, but... pretty sure they will go right back to it after. see: Mitch Mcconnel's long history.
BoomerTheYounger
Why TF dont they all do the truly heroic and honorable thing and just change parties to Democrat! Their words mean nothing…I have not believed a word that comes out of and republican’s or religious person’s mouth in many many years. We need ACTIONS to prove you are not full of scheming, lying, conspiracy crap!

So US has republicans who do want to see a country in four years...

They really don't, don't fall for their bullshit.

Ngl, some of these imgur comments are scaring me... when you see ppl trying to do good and imgur community will still denounce them, insult them, and make blanket statements about an entire group that encompasses millions of ppl, you literally sound like the very ppl you're insulting. I'm not conservative in any category, but I understand we're going to have to fix this together. Imgurs mindset just makes things worse.
Lethous
I agree, even hearing rallies and speeches they have Biden and Harris go bully politics like Trump with Donald dump or this just weird thing from walz.
Stop it, stop. The reason the middle doesn't like Trump is because he is a bully. Don't alienate the people you need by being a bully too. Talk issues, Trump can't and won't do it. People will hear the through the noise.
SometimesISayDumbShit
This is not going to sit well
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
honestly, voting for Harris is the only chance Republivcans have at getting their party back
shishkabobs
I find it refreshing to come on Imgur and see how many normal level headed people there are, in support of Kamala. Unfortunately there is a huge part of me that just can't see that racist infested country voting for a women of colour as president. I hope I'm wrong.

Why do you value what George W. Bush has to say?
MustHailSagan
I don’t I’m a democrat through and through the context of this article is republicans for Harris if W said I’m voting Harris that would be mean a lot to many potential Republican voters seeing he’s the last living former republican pres who is not trump
InfocalypseRising
I mean, that's smart for him. I'd stay the fuck out of the public eye too if I'd started a war and gotten a ton of people killed on a full-blown lie and gotten away with it.

The W stands for War Criminal.

"We have realised she's going to win anyway and are trying to look less bad"
GrosseChung
Don’t say that, I really hope you know why none of us should be saying that.
JustUsLeagueUnlimited
I'm all for encouraging them. Anyone willing to admit the Titanic is sinking while it fills with water has some sense. Meanwhile Musk is in the engine room shoveling trumps bullshit hoping that'll save him.
scorpionnwoman
I like this analogy
Pirsquar
100% a "we never liked him anyway, be sure to remember that we're the nice ones once you're in office."

Trump/Vance has to be the worst ticket ever.
ItsACrazyWorld
Too little too fucking late. Every republican who didnt denounce trump the first time is guilty in helping to spread his bullshit. All I see when watching this is rats trying to flee a sinking ship. Each of them prob supported Trump when he ran the first time. Now they are trying to act like they are responsible adults. These people make me sick.
YesButMaybe
Yeah, big picture it might be too little too late. But it might be helpful for this election.
Kodan00
Curious to know at what point it became time? After access hollywood? him selling pardons? trump associating with epstein? january 6th? snickering up to dictators because their people live in fear or them while he is being mocked? jared getting billions from the saudis? trump storing classified documents in front of his toilet? trump getting convicted of sexual assault? his 34 felony counts?
FoxxoniusAugustus
The last straw was them figuring out that we might hold them accountable for their support of his actions.
digitalagriculture
When it started looking like he might not win.

8yrs too late to get much respect from me. I give it a moderate meh.

now that Trump is tanking ...
Bam906
Holy cow actually sounds like real Republicans, I didn't know we had those anymore
digitalagriculture
Real Republicans have always been garbage people, don't fall for their bullshit. They're only doing this to better position themselves if and when the party abandons Trump.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
It really doesn’t. It sounds like people that know they are toast if Trump is back in office. “It’s Never-Trumpers” rebranded. We saw how that went for them. I’d say at the very least, at least they aren’t kissing the ring and taking the knee, but their ideology hasn’t changed, they just see a Harris win coming and want to play a longer game.

I saw video of this guy the other day. Seems like a decent dude.
digitalagriculture
If he was decent, he wouldn't be a Republican.
JohnSmithterms
DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM
rabbihimself
I don’t live anywhere near Arizona, and I’m voting straight blue. Don’t fret.
JohnSmithterms
Good. Its clear that they cannot be trusted when they all voted the way they were told to vote when it came down to it last time.
dudehiemer
No fucking Republican is qualified for any office in the USA anymore. They literally tried to overthrow the US government and have supported stripping rights away from citizens while demonizing the very group of people who have created the USA, you know immigrants.

CrepuscularCryomancer
Fr. I used to vote both sides of the isle, but it will be a VERY long time before I can even think about trusting anyone with an "R" by their name again. (for the record: I thought of myself as a centrist for a while, but it turns out this was only true by European standards, by current American standards I'm apparently a radical leftist. This information in itself was enough to start *actually* radicalizing me)
HowlingRollercoaster2
I used to have a Republican for Kerry pin and tried hard to get him elected instead of Bush getting a second term. Im a gun loving, business owning, home owning rural person in a 15 year straight marriage. But i also consider myself non-binary, bi, atheist/ agnostic, and I believe solid social safety nets lead to lower crime and better mental health and overall happiness outcomes for everyone. All that said, im not remotely a republican anymore. I wont vote R again anytime soon.
M4UsedRollout
The Republican Party has voted for money over people my entire life. The brand is dead. I’m never voting for them again. Burn the party down and start over, this time with the Democrats being the right wing party.
unsneakyLurker
It's been increasingly voting for hatred over money for the past decade. Republicans are willing to suffer and lose money as long as they get to hurt the people they hate.
Masqueradr
Or just get fucking more parties into your parliament… for fucks sake…
M4UsedRollout
Our system is first-past-the-post and winner-takes-all. Any such system is going to trend towards two powerful parties and the rest are irrelevant.
We need to change the system before we get more than two functional parties.
