Always “retired” or “former”, showing you what spine they really have.

Republicans only find their spine when they have nothing to risk.

Or nothing to gain. Many of the GOP vote with the party specifically to keep their job and those donations bribes coming in

Tbf the ex-governor of Maryland, but running for Senate rn has pretty much endorsed Harris too iirc. But yeah it's all exes.

It's self selecting. You speak out against trump/Maga and a further right candidate primaries you and may win. Or you get so sick of associating with trump/Maga you quit because you know the primary with put you out.

I don't understand why Democrats keep doing stuff like that. Nobody's going to change their mind because some never Trumper says so. I guess this is a slight improvement over having the guy that poisoned Flint 4 years ago (who coincidentally never got charged because the investigation got messed up).

So does every republican get their balls returned to them upon retirement? It's like they sign an NDA to be associated with the party.

Gang Of Poltroons

There were anti Trump republicans, some even voted to impeach him, but they've all been purged or are in the process of being purged. Because now the Republican party isn't about an ideology as much as it is a messianic cult around Trump.
