So Country over Party, and over self (if that makes sense

This concept of party loyalty, often blind party loyalty, is something that I will never understand. We have it here as well but it is nowhere near as strong or as pervasive.

I heard a radio interview the other day with someone who had family in the US. The family was 'long time diehard' Republicans, didn't like Trump and didn't agree with anything he proposed, but would vote for him anyway because . . . Republican (or never Democrat, I'm never sure). It almost seems that the US could save a lot of money by just counting registered party members and having the roughly remaining one-third schlepp out to vote every four years.

The biggest question to me is how strong is the Never Trump movement.

Are most of those voters going to be willing to chance a USSC change from 4 years of Harris ? I know several who are still considering voting for Trump simply due to that fact alone.

For Republicans: Thomas is 76, and Alito is 74, Chief Justice Roberts is 69.
For Democrat: Sotomayor is 70, and Kagan is 64

Other Republicans: Kavanaugh is 59, Gorsuch is 57, Barret is 52, and the last Democrat Brown is 54.


So Thomas would be 80 and Alito 78, the loss of those 2 would bring the court to 4-5 R/D.

Many never Trumpers are asking themselves can at least Alito make it (most NT’s want Thomas gone simple as he’s been so visibly influenced by his wife and big money favors) - but ideally not gone under a Harris Presidency.

For me, who’s livelihood can go away with a change in gun laws, it’s a tough decision to make, and it isn’t with a clear conscience that I am going to vote for Harris - but it is will a much clearer conscience that if I was going to vote to DJT. So Country over Party, and over self (if that makes sense).

Interesting take on the USSC appointments. I wonder how many Republicans in the general voting public are taking that into consideration in their vote choice. Not something that is normally a big factor north of the 49th.

That isn't proven; it isn't provable. It's a story NT's tell themselves as part of rationalizing their noble self-image standing against the rest of the Republican party.

For gun owners at least it’s always on the forefront.
