The GOP Needs an Exorcism says 'Party of Lincoln' "Republican"
Ugh.
[Headtopics.com summary of a Dallas News editorial behind their paywall] The party I joined as a 10-year-old in 1952 needs an exorcism. That’s why I’ve joined thousands of other Republicans, including former governors, senators, congressmen, Trump administration officials and members of the Trump family to support Kamala Harris in this year’s election.

Mine is the party of Dwight Eisenhower, who led the Allies to victory in Europe, yet as president, cautioned against the "military-industrial complex." Our capital city has been invaded only twice in our country’s history: once when the British burned the White House in 1814, and once when a mob invaded and threatened to hang the vice president, while the sitting president who instigated and inspired the mob remained silent in that same White House for 187 minutes, watching it on television.These aren’t just the concerns of those informed by mainstream media. Heed the warnings from those who know him best.
The author was a two-term (R) Congressman from Dallas, from 1973-1977. In August 2020, Steelman endorsed Biden for president. He was a member of the steering committee of Republicans and Independents for Biden. Following the 2021 'storming of the United States Capitol', Steelman signed a letter supporting the impeachment of Donald Trump. Steelman endorsed Kamala Harris for president in 2024. The older he gets, the dumber he gets.

#1 You misspelled RINO. You are nothing but liberals who once disempowered by the socialist sought influence in the other party. At least classical liberals believed in the sanctity of property and contract.

#2 ...the party of Dwight Eisenhower

Thought experiment: Ike meets Kamala. Predict the results.

#6 SO he willingly leaves the republican party for the new left/socialist party... Steelman is a fool. Good luck to him.
