John Cornyn is one of my senators in Texas. Let's not forget he & McConnell could have ended this in 2020 and choose not to. What I would say to Senator Cornyn is if you cannot stand up against Trump & MAGA then just retire!

Why did they allow a known Democrat like trumps to even run? Money?

An outstanding from the heart, brutally honest, very eloquent analysis of how support of Donald Trump has impacted today’s Republican Party from an in insider’s perspective.

Thank you, Stuart. It's such an important question: how did we get here? As a lifelong Democrat, I didn't know the back story of the Republican Party, as you tell it in your book, "It's All a Life" (which I'm reading now). It must be very distressing to watch your former friends perjure themselves and look ridiculous to gain favor with their leader. I appreciate your candor and humility - we can't heal what we don't see. I'm a big fan of the Lincoln Project. We are in this fight together to defeat the anti-democracy forces, no matter our party affiliations.

Companion Canines won't even let G. Maxwell participate in their Service Dog Training due to her conviction for child sex trafficking and risk to their DOGS.

Thank you! Honesty is a cleansing thing and I so appreciate yours. I've been a Lincoln Square supporter for almost a year and I'm honored to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

The problem is really that people have very short memories not helped by pundits ignoring history. The GOP has for decades been involved in dirty tricks, cover-ups, illegal back channel fund raising [made legal by Reagan's Citizens United] with one vision, one objective - winning at any cost.

I have supported the Lincoln Project since it's inception. It is people like you who help me stay in the fight.

Thank you, Stuart. I wish others steeped in the Republican party (in your case several years ago) could be as honest as you are about how we got here.
