Ohio Republicans turn on Trump: 'We will not make the same mistake this November'

Regretful supporters of President Donald Trump invited other Ohio conservatives to join them in voting him out of office.

A group of Republicans in the state have formed their own version of the Lincoln Project, a conservative anti-Trump group, called Operation Grant, named after Ohio native, Civil War general and former president, according to co-founder Phil Heimlich in a new Cincinnati Enquirer column.

“In 2016, many of us who wanted change in the White House took a chance on Donald Trump,” Heimlich wrote. “We thought he’d lead as a conservative Republican: instead, he has imperiled our republic.”

“We are alarmed by the anti-democratic tactics and flagrant abuse of power committed daily by Donald Trump,” he added. “His actions are an affront to our Constitution and the Republican Party. In the words of our 18th president, Ohio’s Ulysses S. Grant, ‘My failures have been errors in judgment, not intent.'”
