Three GOP establishment politicians, all collaborators with the people who sponsor and defend Antifa, are opposing the reelection of President Donald Trump. Two are desperately jealous of his achievements and the intensity of his popularity with the American people. One is looking for a spot in a possible Biden regime. But with Friday’s very good jobs news, if that trend holds, the likelihood of that regime coming to power may prove an illusion.

Former President George W. Bush and Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) are, according to The New York Times, not expected to support the reelection of the president. From Bush’s comment on Trump’s inaugural speech as he sat amongst DC elite feet away from the president, “That’s some weird sh**,” to Romney’s vote to convict on impeachment, this development has been expected for some time. It is good they have unmasked themselves as to their real primary loyalty to the DC establishment and against the people of the United States.

Referencing “people familiar with their thinking,” the paper reported that Bush won’t back Trump’s reelection, and former Trump 2016 rival Jeb Bush isn’t sure how he will vote. Meanwhile, Romney will definitely not vote for Trump, and is considering once again writing in on his ballot his wife Ann, or not voting for president at all. One hopes the voters of Utah will repay the favor.

Bush’s Secretary of State Colin Powell, also a member of the sclerotic DC old guard, said on Sunday that he too will not support President Trump in the fall. “I certainly cannot, in any way, support President Trump this year,” Powell conveniently announced on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We have a Constitution and we have to follow that Constitution and the president has drifted away from it.” Powell did not elaborate in any way on how the president has not followed the Constitution or how he has “drifted away from it.” He also neglected to mention anything regarding the adherence to the Constitution of those he now cravenly makes common cause with.

Powell dug in and sucked up: “I’m very close to Joe Biden in a social matter [sic] and in a political [sic] matter. I’ve worked with him for 35, 40 years. And he is now the candidate and I will be voting for him… Well, I haven’t been asked [to campaign for Biden] and I don’t think I will be. Campaigning is not my strong suit. I’ll be speaking for him, but I don’t plan to make campaign trips.” Like Romney, Bush may stay home, Powell will probably come around to campaigning for Biden if asked. How else will he earn the chits he needs to pick up an ambassadorship or cabinet slot from Biden?

But again, the only way that is possible is if the economy again stalls, a fate all three of these men implicitly hope will happen. Though Bush himself may not hit the stump for Biden, all three are good shots for issuing statements and appearing in campaign videos on Biden’s behalf.

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has also said she is “struggling” on whether to vote for Trump. These outliers, looking after their own nests, are not indicative of a majority of GOP voters, as current polling gives the president an election appeal to fellow Republicans of over 90%. The Trump campaign responded to the issue of GOP backsliders: “President Trump has the support of a record number of Republicans across the country. He leads a united party and will win in November.”
