Good to see there are still a few that haven't sold their souls.

Glad to see we still have some patriots in the Republican party. But should it really be that tough to put country over party? More than 700 national security leaders have said that only Harris has the temperament and values needed to serve as commander-in-chief. They also said Trump posed a threat to both national security and America's democratic system. 

 

And why would anyone vote for an ex-president judged to have been the worst in history at the job?

Well put below from your linked source:

 

"In a statement first published by Fox News, the GOP trio said the 2024 election “presents a stark choice that is not easy for any of us” because the Republican Party exemplified by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, longtime Kansas senator Bob Dole, and “generations of Kansas leaders” no longer exists within the Trump-era version of the GOP. [emphasis added]

 

“But, it requires Republicans speaking out and putting country over party when those values are at stake,” they said, adding, “No candidate is perfect, and we do not pretend that we subscribe to all the policy positions taken either by the national parties or any individual candidates.”

It's amazing to me how little influence "reasonable" Republicans have on the party as a whole. Probably 90% of Republicans are flat Earth ears these days, metaphorically speaking.

It just means that the Democratic Party has become the war party.  I remember it when it was the anti-war party.  Not anymore.  All this also shows is that the Republican and Democrat parties ARE the US Uni-party.  Same party, same ideals.  All the public show of so-called "differences" is just 🐂💩 buffalo excrement and kabuki theater.

More like they put their pockets over party and country to support Harris.

By reasonable you mean leftist, correct?

Probably 90% of Democrats are on the verge of mental breakdowns because they believe the conspiracy theory that the actual "reincarnation of Hitler" is going to throw them into concentration camps in 2025 if he becomes the US president.  Therefore "he must be stopped my all means possible" because "you can't let Hitler come to power."
Well, it may become a self-fulfilling prophesy in that case maybe.  🤔

how will their pockets benefit?

Former Senator Kassebaum is 92 year old. She is financially well off and does not need any more wealth. On the contrary she has been giving it away. Her roots as a principled Republican are in her DNA.  Her father was Alfie Landon the Republican Governor of Kansas from 1933 to 1937 and the 1936 Republican nominee for president. She is the widow of former Tennessee  Republican  senator, Reagan & Bush  loyalist and diplomat Howard Baker. Her voting record was conservative on defense and fiscal issues, but progressive on  social issues. She was also known for her bipartisan efforts.

Now tell us again, why she is profiting and how she is profiting from  staying true to her  princples?

That is probably one of the lamest replies I have ever read. Congrats!

She was a Senator.

It's pretty sad when a so called 'poltiical party' is so full of lemmings and cult worshippers that it's considered a big deal when a handful of them don't tow the party line.
