    Mitt Romney! Carly Fiorina! John Kasich! That's pretty much it. Left wing youtubers will tell you that armageddon is coming, but the reality is that most of these people have no political influence. Anthony Scaramucci for example, nobody on the left or right is loyal enough to him that it would flip a vote. And there are just as many (if not more) democrats flipping to endorse Trump. All these republicans are accomplishing is killing whatever semblance of a legacy they had left over.

    There's quite a few you have overlooked. This Wikipedia article lists 130 Republican senior officials, including Colin Powell, Chuck Hagel, John Bolton, and Tom Ridge:

    Over 70 former senior Republican national security officials and 60 additional senior officials have also signed on to a statement declaring, "We are profoundly concerned about our nation's security and standing in the world under the leadership of Donald Trump. The President has demonstrated that he is dangerously unfit to serve another term."

    The Cry Baby Loser's personal "armageddon" commenced with his inability to accept the will of the American People in 2020, and his lying to his goons who attacked outnumbered police defending democracy on January 6, 2021 as the Loser pleasured himself while watching the disgusting spectacle on televison for hours, ignoring the desperate pleas to call them off by his staff, his family, and his media cheerleaders.

    His disgrace is accelerating as conservative mega-donors, fanatical bible humpers, and his abashed propagandists now dump the lying Loser.

    Top executives and news hosts at Fox News privately shared they did not buy into then-President Donald Trump’s allegations of 2020 election fraud, despite giving airtime to many of those same false claims, according to a court filing in Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit against the news network.

      • Tucker Carlson said as early as Nov. 16, 2020, that Trump ally Sidney Powell was "lying" about election fraud, according to the filing.

      • Sean Hannity said of Powell’s election fraud narrative that he “did not believe it for one second,” according to the filing

      • Laura Ingraham told Carlson that Powell is “a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy,”... Carlson replied that he found Powell's lies "unbelievably offensive" because their "viewers are good people and they believe it," according to the filing.

    I think those three have either resigned or are in the process of resigning from the Republican Party.

    John Kasich is a particularly loathsome individual. At the end of the 2016 primary process, when he had no chance of winning whatsoever, he insisted upon staying in the Florida primary rather than bowing out and endorsing Ted Cruz to oppose Trump. He wasn't a big enough Trump hater to give up only his own stillborn ambitions. Then he had the "crossroads" at the Democrat convention which sealed his fate with me permanently.
