‘Character counts’ — Carly Fiorina, GOP presidential candidate in 2016, explains why she’ll vote for Biden https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/24/ex-...-carly-fiorina-on-her-vote-for-joe-biden.html
Character counts for Catholic voters https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/character-counts-catholic-voters Macomb County in Michigan is the third most populous county in Michigan where approximately 30% of voters identify themselves as Catholic. In 2012, President Barack Obama carried Michigan and won Macomb County by around 16,000 votes. In 2016, Trump won Macomb County by approximately 48,000 votes — a swing of about 64,000 votes in a state that Trump won by about 11,000 votes than Hillary Clinton. In Pennsylvania, a state that Obama carried in 2012 by more than 300,000 votes, Trump won by 44,292 votes. Obama won 12 of the 20 most Catholic counties, but four years later Clinton only carried six, and her totals in the Catholic counties she lost were well below Obama's. If Clinton had done just 5% better among white Catholics in those two states, she would be president today. The survey, titled "Presidential Candidate Vice and Virtue Poll: Swing State Evangelical and Catholic Perceptions of Donald J. Trump and Joseph R. Biden," was conducted in six swing states among both Catholics and evangelicals. The questions were all centered around character issues not policy issues. The poll measured how evangelicals and Catholics rate the presidential candidates on the seven cardinal virtues (kindness, generosity, humility, chastity, modesty, diligence and patience) and the seven deadly sins (lust, sloth, greed, wrath, gluttony, envy and pride). The results imply a shift among white Catholics in their support of Trump. The poll shows that, in those six states, around 20% of Catholics who voted for Trump do not plan to vote for him in 2020. By contrast, 6% of 2016 Clinton Catholics voters do not plan to vote for Biden, for a swing of 14%. Perhaps even more interesting is that among Catholics who did not vote or voted for a third-party candidate in 2016, 49% intend to vote for Biden, and only 19% for Trump. The primary take-away from the survey is the perception that Trump lacks basic Christian kindness. This appears to be the one of the strongest motivators for Catholics thinking about not voting for Trump in 2020. These results suggest that some disaffected Trump voters may be willing to forgive Trump's perceived sins, but not his perceived lack of basic Christian virtue.
Republican with Two advanced degrees in Constitutional Law and he is not willing to vote for Donald Trump.
I'm glad more & more republicans are coming to this conclusion. However, they are about 12-18 months too late. They needed to cut Trump off at the knees & nominate someone else for President.
Well i kind of wish they would have stood up and said something before the senate vote on impeachment. Maybe if the Senate had heard enough they would have tried to save their jobs. This election wouldn't even be in play right now.
Also if they would have impeached him there is no way Pence could get away with filling a Supreme court seat without ever being elected president.
It's now or never for ex Trump aids... https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/26/its-now-or-never-for-ex-trump-aides-weighing-speaking-out.html “Enough is enough,” said Neumann, the former assistant secretary of counterterrorism and threat prevention. “People need to understand how dangerous a moment we are in.” “It’s now or never,” said Miles Taylor, former chief of staff at DHS, who has been working to recruit others to join the effort. In interviews, Taylor has accused Trump of routinely asking aides to break the law, using his former agency for explicitly political purposes, and wanting to maim and shoot migrants trying to cross the southern border. “Those who witnessed the president’s unfitness for office up close have a moral obligation to share their assessment with the electorate,” said Taylor, who launched the group REPAIR — The Republican Political Alliance for Integrity and Reform — to bring together concerned former officials. “While these voters disliked Trump intensely, they didn’t trust the media, they didn’t trust Democrats, they didn’t trust the leaks,” she said. “Who’s a credible messenger? It was people like them.” “There will be a cottage industry when Trump is out of office of people who say, ‘Oh, I fought from the inside, I fought the good fight, I kept so many bad things from happening.’” he said. “It doesn’t matter. There’s only one moment in time where it matters. And that’s now.”
