This will totally change my mind

Boomers

Everybody has a price and can be bought. These guys were.

Reagan and Bush lawyers were apparently communists. What weird luck. SEVERAL of Trump's own cabinet members and his own VP did not show at the convention and actively say he is a threat. What a coincidence. Almost every media source except for a small handful are all socialists and elitists. Luckily a pillow salesman has shown us the path. Amazing. Mr "TWO" Corinthians was paying off a porn star while cheating on his wife but really is God's man (I mean who else could it be?, am I right?).

Trump is the worst thing that has ever happened to the Repub party but the alternative of lettings Dems win is worse. We won either way in this election. If Trump loses, maybe his grip on party will start to weaken. If Harris loses, we dodge failed solutions.

How many White House lawyers that "advised" Reagan and the Bushes did NOT sign the letter?

Are you kidding? Some even spoke at the DNC, but you wouldn't have seen it because Fox cut away from every Republican speaker… talk about media manipulation.

Some Lawyers are hoors that will accept payment to do whatever their payor wishes them to... wouldn't surprise me at all if these guys were paid to write this letter.

I just assumed all lawyers voted Democrat.

Most probably do sadly.

It used to be simple to tell a lawyer's political leaning.

Criminal prosecutors and civil defense: Republican.

Criminal defense and civil plaintiff: Democrat.

Tons of crossover now! Majority democrats though, because so many in the NE.

Things like this are the reason the GOP keeps losing. Dems never do this. They always stick together. The best examples of all time are getting in line and behind biden, who was a terrible candidate and now getting behind kamala who's even worse.

Lawyers endorsing Harris, now that is a shocker! Dems in office more lawfare, more work.

Mouth pieces bought and paid for

There is a significant portion of the traditional GOP voter base that are Never Trumpers. 10%? 15%. How many will sit out? How many will vote for Harris?

You'd think after numerous posters on here saying anyone but Trump that it would register with Republicans they effed up in letting MAGA dictate the party's path forward.

This is a tired talking point, I will say this again like I have said 100 times, 3 states and less than 5% of this country made this decision….by the time I voted in Texas, the decision was made.

Mark Levin was a lawyer in the Reagan Administration- I would be curious to hear his take on this. I'm guessing that this handful represents a very minor percentage of the total number of lawyers that were there under Reagan or the Bushes.

The Republican Party went off the rails with the cult like MAGA movement represented by a narcissist bully in Trump. Yes, a lot of moderate republicans will vote Harris until the republicans return from the fringe. It would be the same if the democrats ran an extreme left candidate then many democrats would vote for a moderate republican.

Deep State is deep and has been for a long time. Ask JFK. Oh, wait. Ask Nixon. Ask DJT.

Then why do only 4 out 44 of Trump's own former cabinet/staff support him for President? Are they suddenly in the "Deep State" too? (which really doesn't exist anyhow)

Explain how Trump is a threat to democracy while Kamala says she will take patents and force pricing.

The first lawyer mentioned, Michael Luttig, served 1 year as an associate to White House council under Reagan. He was a judge that left his judgeship to become general council and senior vice president of Boeing. He resigned in 2019 during the 737max groundings crisis. He went to work for them for a substantial pay increase, so yes, he can be bought.

I hate what he has done to conservatism and the party. I will call out all the rationalizing from people of faith to excuse him. I think when the dust clears, we will asking forgiveness from our God for defending him but...

I will vote for him because the actual policies of the left would start us down a slippery slope of actions that would lessen our country for 100 years. I believe being honest about our candidate and the threats of the other side winning are how you get folks to the voting booth. My QB may suck but I don't stop pulling for my Aggies.

They are all still bitter about Jeb! being dismantled in 2016.

Uni party. Neo cons are pro war, pro open borders, pro globalism. Bush fits in nicely. There isnt much difference between the establishment of both parties.

It's the base of both parties that is drastically different. Traditional values vs comunists. Sadly Bush likes the globalist commies more than the nationalist traditionalist.

Those signing the letter pointed to what they called "the profound risks presented by his [Trump's] potential return to public office. Indeed, Trump's own Attorney Generaland National Security Adviser have said unequivocally that Donald Trump is unfit for office, dangerous, and detached from reality."

---

Not sure this group of progressives thought this through. Yes, Bill Barr thinks Trump is unfit, dangerous, and detached from reality. But Barr has already said he is voting for Trump because he knows the democrats(any democrat) is far worse. I realize Trumplicans don't like Barr because he's not a loyalist over being a constitutionalist, but there is a certain genius to what Barr thinks about Democrats in light of what he thinks about Trump.

Oh and Barr is one of hundreds of Reagan/Bush/Bush administration attorneys that will be voting for Trump. All for the same reasons. They know Trump is better than a democrat at this point. The Democrats are true dangers to our Republic. As are the Republicans that have chosen centralized government and globalism over Sovereign Liberty Centric American Constitutional Republicanism.

Even Reagan would have supported Trump.

His 11th Commandment and all...

They were all interns, fresh out of college and brainwashed….probably hated the guy but it was a big ticket to the big time

Both party's establishments think the Presidency is a club that only the right sort of people should be allowed to fight over.

To them, Trump is Al Czervik trying to get into Bushwood Country Club.

The Democrats ARE running an extreme left candidate, but instead of arguing about whether she is too progressive or centrist Dems walking away, they have just magically erased her extreme left record and pinky swear that if elected she won't do all of the harmful things she's been for in the past. It's all about how much joy she's bringing and the historical racial/gender breakthrough. Just ignore the fact that we just executed a run around the Democratic process (to save our Democracy). Don't worry about how nuts her politics are. And everyone is buying it!!

Ivy League attorney ranks might be the most hard left political group of vermin in the country.

You lost me at lawyers

Lawyers mostly suck

The only good lawyers are the ones you employ.

Necessary evils, mostly because the other side has them too. They're really not that bad of people but it is strange how left biased the profession is, as it must attract certain personality types or categories.

There it is again: "threat to democracy". Meanwhile the people they are endorsing wipe their ass with the Constitution daily.

Has anyone given detail on this so-called "threat to democracy"? Until they do, it's simply a sign that people have TDS.
