I am not a big David Jolly fan, but he was on with Chris Hayes and he was spot on when calling out..

the GOPers for their falling for Trump loyalty! Thank Mr. Jolly for saying that Trump is a racist and those who follow him, are racists too!

He was shaken up and looked like he was watching the country careen off a cliff.
Which, of course, it is.

I thought for a bit that he was on the verge of tears.

He was genuinely outraged.

I think he feels a very personal kind of shame over what has happened to the Republican Party.

As a former GOP Lobbyist before taking over vacated Florida Representative Seat, appointed by former FL Governor, Skeletor Rick Scott, I see David Jolly in same group as Paul Ryan. Now that they no longer have any political aspirations, they suddenly have a voice, and in the case of David Jolly, a SPINE, much unlike Paul Ryan.

I need to see more Republicans like him, and I need them to work harder, with us, to end this.

Far too many never trumpers spend all their air time criticizing Speaker Pelosi, or telling Democrats to work harder to rid us of a problem they created.

I loved how he told the truth of how fatdonnie is turning the government into a giant swamp.

And I’m glad Jolly finally woke up.

I’m always reassured when I hear how horrified ex-Republicans with a conscience feel. There must be a few of them out there and I hope they vote.

I like the way he speaks - pretty directly in a quiet tone.
He despises trump - from the get go.
Today he even had Chavez agreeing with a nod that he cannot trust any of the R politicians anymore.

He lost his seat to Charlie Crist.

Jolly wasn’t for Trump and they made him pay.

That tells you that the Republican Party is the party of Trump.
