EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis). Yes, my friends, we now know exactly who is our enemy… And if we do not become slaves to the Uniparty after November, and if this country survives as a “democracy,” we know exactly who is our enemy: these 200 former aides of Bush, McCain, and Romney… In the meantime, watch this fantastic George Carlin monologue at the end of the story… It says it all in less than five minutes!!
===================
It’s A Bipartisan Miracle! Over 200 Bush, McCain, Romney Aides Endorse Harris
For your daily reminder that the establishment is one big club (and you ain’t in it!)…
…more than 200 former aides to George W. Bush, Sen. John McCain, and Mitt Romney have offered their full-throated support for Vice President Kamala Harris. According to The Hill, most of the group also endorsed President Biden in 2020.
In a Monday letter first reported by USA Today, the group reiterated their opposition to Trump and support of Harris.
““Of course, we have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz. That’s to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable,” reads the letter.
“At home, another four years of Donald Trump’s chaotic leadership, this time focused on advancing the dangerous goals of Project 2025, will hurt real, everyday people and weaken our sacred institutions. Abroad, democratic movements will be irreparably jeopardized as Trump and his acolyte JD Vance kowtow to dictators like Vladimir Putin while turning their backs on our allies,” the letter continues.
The group called on friends and colleagues to “vote for leaders that will strive for consensus, not chaos,” and said that “moderate Republicans and conservative independents” were what brought Biden his victory in 2020.
And then there’s this guy…

You celebrated a few days ago when RFK and Tulsi joined Trump. That’s two people. Are you still celebrating now, when 200 former republicans are with Harris?
Are you serious? You need many millions of people to counter just the name Kennedy!! Bob, we are doing serious political analysis here – this is not your Greek coffee shop…
Nick
Those two hundred people represent many more people than the millions that RFK might lure to Trump’s side. Romney alone was a governor and now a senator. Bush had over 60 million voters for him and McCain still has followers. And let’s add the remaining 197 republicans that are influential. Don’t you think that they combine to overwhelm RFK’s followers, which he was shedding at a dizzying rate and was destined for zero followers? Let alone the fact that his family has publicly denounced him in the strongest terms. He has lost any luster that the name Kennedy might still have held. His acolytes are the anti-vaxxers, the libertarians and the conspiracy theorists. The followers of the 200 are the pre-Trump republicans. When there was pride and civility in the party. Not cruelty, craziness and person worship.
Bob, I am sorry but I have no more time for you. I am probably the only one in this audience who has studied polling as part of my doctoral studies in the social sciences. And I am likely the only one with consistent political experience – I am reading two daily newspapers since age 12 and I have a Law Degree to top it all off. I KNOW that all the polls you read are FAKE. First I know how to check the sample of each poll and most declare it themselves that they poll 59% Democrats and 37% Republicans or something like that. This is why I predicted the 2016 result with certainty. But you don’t need to have my expertise to see that the p[olls are fake. You just need to have good will and open your eyes – which you do not.
Also I use other informal methods. Just yesterday a close friend who is a lawyer and has been traditionally voting for Democrats told me that if he was polled he would answer “I am not sure” because he did not trust any polling agency having a record of his name and phone number and the response that he would vote for Trump.
Bush, McCain and Romney together have less than 0.2% impact on the voters. The voters consider them their enemies.
Sorry but this is the last comment from you that I will post. You are a “low information” person and you fit perfectly TNH audience. Read Diamataris’ commentary to get informed and ask him questions – if you haven’t puked in the meantime. Oh, I forgot! TNH doesn’t allow comments from readers!!
