“I believe anyone that puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be president of the United States again,” Mike Pence (Trump’s former VP)
“The Republican Party is no longer conservative. It has switched its allegiance from the principles that gave it purpose to a man whose only purpose is himself and (who) suffocated the soul of the Republican Party.” Adam Kinzinger (former U.S. Representative)
“Legal immigration from people across the world is woven into the fabric of American exceptionalism, and comments from the former president ( “poisoning the blood”) couldn’t be further from the truth. This is more hateful, harmful rhetoric that is poisoning our country.” Lisa Murkowski (current U.S. Senator)
“America deserves a president as good and steadfast as our nation, a president of character, driven by a noble purpose, one who honors the sacrifices of our troops, not a man consumed by spite, revenge and self-pity,” Liz Cheney (former U.S. Representative)
“It just blows me away. These men and women that are laying in the ground there (Arlington) have no choice” about being in a political ad… it’s not about you there. It’s about these people who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the name of their country,” Jimmy McCain (son of the late Sen. John McCain)
“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. Broad, 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. A second term is simply untenable.” Open Letter (Over 200 staffers of previous Republican presidential nominees)

I am a democrat - small d and big D - and I agree with any Republican, that any candidate that puts their goals and objectives above the laws and principles of the Constitution and founding documents of this nation is not "fit" or worthy of holding office in its government at any level! And certainly, not the office of president. This government was by design one that would allow each of the three branches to serve as a check and balance on the other... this princple guide appears to have been broken; by less principled individuals elected, or appointed or both! We expect the best people to serve - with honesty and honor. A great country cannot stay great with less!
A history lesson may be seen looking back as recent as the twentieth century, when Italy, Germany, and yes, the USSR, were able to have "strongmen" rule: Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin. They were cults of "one-man" above-the-law" rule. History as shown us how well that turned out! Do we see efforts to make that happen here? God forbid!
