Because he was comfortable with his small lies but not comfortable with Trump’s big lies?

So basically the same reason why most members of Trump’s own cabinet, his own vice president, several national security advisors, director of national intelligence, secretary of defense, secretary of the Army, White House chief of staff, secretary of homeland security – plus 700+ other high level military and government officials – all came out against him as well.
The same reason why even such hardcore conservatives as Dick Effin’ Cheney came out against Trump: the man is clearly deemed a serious national security risk.
Yeah, if I could stop seeing Republican endorsements headlines without the word “former”, that would be great.

I’ve been saying it for a long time, but the GOP left a lot of traditionally conservative types behind when it went full Nazi. There was a time when respectful and respectable differences of opinion were possible without all of the existential brinkmanship.

Almost always “former”…..

Don’t need much of a reason, just look at the fucking state of Trump.

MAGA will get the nearest pole and run him out on it…

“Donald Trump cannot be allowed back in the White House, and the only way to prevent that from happening is to support Kamala Harris.”
That sums it up nicely.

Because the dog caught the car here. These people never thought they actually would get this far and that the radical elements could be controlled so they could use them to keep making money on outrage.

Should note that Sykes lost his talk radio gig because he came out against Donald Trump in 2016. He then helped found The Bulwark, which has become the major anti-Trump conservative publication:
Donald Trump is mentally ill, plain and simple. The warning signs are everywhere. What’s even more alarming is the number of his followers who embrace his madness.
When JD Vance openly admitted to lying about Haitians eating pets to promote the MAGA agenda, he effectively said, we will abandon truth and logic because lies, chaos, and destruction are more effective tools to get what we want. The more insane Trump acts, the more willing his followers are to embrace his madness.

This is very nice but also fuck Charlie Sykes for what he helped do to Wisconsin

Is this news? He used to host the Bulwark until he retired recently and handed it off to Tim Miller, who worked with Jeb! (please clap)
This is the guy who always called Trump a “clown with a flamethrower”. They might be a clown, but they can still do damage.

How is this race even close with so many Democrats activated and so many traditional Republicans defecting from Trump and endorsing Harris?

Like an arsonist that sets the fire and then wants to be a hero for helping to put it out.

So this is NOT a new stance for him.
