You don't have the capability or intelligence to think for yourself. You are conditioned and must press the lever and vote for a Republican, even one as evil and as anti-American as this man. This is why you are a cult member.

What I see there is that 24 of his past cabinet members support his 2024 candidacy while 3 oppose and 15 have no publicly available stance.

But when you go beyond actual cabinet secretaries and into folks below them who were still a part of the administration it’s in the hundreds of folks who worked under Trump in some way. A presidential administration takes A LOT of people. And then when you look at National security officials in general across administrations it crosses 700 of that category alone. You have taken literally the rosiest picture possible. A vast majority of those folks have donated their working lives to public service and their professions.

You are actually here with a straight face telling us that a clearly severely mentally ill man’s gut is a more reliable source of information, truth and correct decisions than people who have spent their entire lives gathering knowledge and experience in subjects Trump has never bothered to understand. He doesn’t read things and gain any knowledge. He’s literally the same as one of those man on the street bits except half the country thinks the man on the street who can’t even figure out how basic things work needs to be put into the Oval Office ASAP.

If the opportunity arose Trump would easily go do open heart surgery on someone because it’s easy… these stupid doctors don’t know anything… they take 3 hours but I’ll have the guy in and out of there in 5 minutes tops. You don’t put someone like that in charge of walking your dog let alone running the country.

How many Bush appointees are supporting Trump? We know the last Republican president's VP is supporting Harris.

How many former Democratic officials are supporting Trump?

She’s not really a Democrat anymore. It’s not like she’s supporting Democrats except Harris.. that’s the kind of thing at play here on the GOP side.

Any answer to that must start with “how much time ya got?”… we have 32 days until the election and I bet reading constantly all of those days we couldn’t get through the entire volume of material.

Fair point - I meant executive branch, but I didn't say that.

Jack Smith's 165 page brief isn't enough?

Oh wait, that's full of real evidence. That can't be it.

That isn’t germane to many of those 700 people. They are national security people many of whom did not witness anything because they are long gone from other administrations.

Sure there are shy Trump voters. I live in an area full of them. The difference now is that most of them really can't stand Trump. But most also can't bring themselves to vote for Harris, who has done nothing to court these people. Voting for Trump for them is a vote against extreme liberalism.

So if he follows through on the threats to go on a revenge tour and order the arrest of people he doesn’t like using his new found immunity what will they say then? Picking Walz was one outreach and there are multiple groups including one run by the Harris campaign reaching out to these people. To say there is no outreach to disaffected republicans is bullshit.
