For Jerushah Duford, granddaughter to the late Billy Graham, it's the damage she says President Trump has done to America and the Evangelical church. Texas Republican Jennifer Waisath Harris, who worked for a former U.S. Ambassador and two Texas Secretaries of State, points to what she calls racist rhetoric from the president. Beth Fukumoto, a Hawaii Republican House Leader from 2014 to 2017, decries the Republican Party’s descent into what she calls “Trumpism.” And Jane Calderwood, chief of staff for former three-term Sen. Olympia Snowe, said it's the Republican Party's inability to work across the aisle.

These four women, from different states and backgrounds, have one thing in common: they’re either current or former members of the Republican Party who want Donald Trump voted out of the White House come Election Day. Now, they’ve banded together with over a dozen other women from around the country to form an offshoot of The Lincoln Project called Lincoln Women. It launches today, just days before the Republican Party is set to nominate Trump for a second presidential term.

"We know that women will play a critical role in defeating Donald Trump in this election," said Jennifer Horn, cofounder of The Lincoln Project and former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party.

1. Good!

This should be interesting!

2. These have ceased to be gimmicks and are now organically grown movements

America is readying to throw everything and the kitchen sink at Trump to boot him to the sewer where he belongs.

Moreover, this is patriotism. American home-grown patriotism.

3. My gut feeling is they may be more effective at persuading women to vote Joe/Kamala

than the Lincoln Project because they bring a women's perspective to the national stage.

4. Is there a Republican version of the Lincoln Project

an anti-Biden PAC with prominent former Democrats?

5. Republicans at all levels are complicit From the senators to the state legislatures to the

regular constituent. He was impeached and could have been removed! nine months later to say your against him???? amusing.... but for the most part i am ingnoring them. Counting the days and will vote.

6. Is that a yes or a no? nt

7. If there is, we haven't heard of it. But i doubt there is one, as there aren't many Dems who have

jumped ship.
