James Comey, Clarence Mingo join anti-Trump Republicans to counter GOP convention

Disaffected Republicans and others who oppose President Donald Trump said Monday that more is at stake in the November election than policy differences.

“At this moment, while we can have the big policy fights on health care and things like that, that’s not what the country is looking for. It’s not what the country is hungering for. They’re hungering for leadership that brings the disparate parts of the nation together,” said Michael Steele, a former Republican National Committee chairman.

Steele was among the speakers at the Convention on Founding Principles made up of Republican dissidents, independents and others fighting Trump’s re-election, including former FBI Director James Comey and former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci.

Speakers on the streaming digital convention painted the election more as a war for America’s heart and principles than disagreements over federal law and regulation.

1. James Comey should have cared about law in 2016.

HE CAN GO FUCK HIMSELF.

[enough]

8. +1

[lagomorph777]

12. Kind of ironic. Frankenstein is embarrassed by his monster.

[Botany]

2. "including former FBI Director James Comey"

Fuck him he got us Trump with his last minute bullshit. He spread Russian produced lies
about Hillary in order to hurt her. He knew exactly what he was doing too.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Most of these people did everything in their power to guarantee that we got what we have now

and except for Michael Steele (and someone like Steve Schmidt), only "rebelled" when they were summarily discarded. Not one would vote for a Democrat and their "base" would consider them RINOs at best, and "undercover libs" in any other case.

[Hela]

4. Fuck him

I will never, ever forgive Comey for giving us Trump. He should be shunned by every person who calls themselves "Democrat."

[dreamland]

5. I give him points for trying to do the right thing

But he's still a POS that will forever be known to have weaken America by affecting our elections in 2016.

[ananda]

6. I know.

This has all been brought about by the "good" nazi Reeps
who are now repenting.

Fuck them all. Yes, I'm glad they're on our side, but they
have so much blood and shit on their hands, they still
stink.

[olegramps]

10. Are the really on our side or is it that they see the writing on the wall?

They are committed Republicans who believe that their party is going down the drain. I trust them as far as I could throw and elephant. What they want to do is mitigate the damage and get back to screwing the working class in the name of promoting businesses.

It is the same old game that so many working class fell for. They were promised that big business would take good care of the them and what did the working class get. The got their pensions cancelled, the health insurance cancelled and lastly their jobs out sourced where they could get desperate people to work for starvation wages so the executives could get bigger pay checks. The problem was compounded by the lack of any real support by the Democrats elected by the working class to actually do any thing to stop them. The Democrats also failed to attack the hypocrisy of the Republicans claim to be god fearing protectors of religious ideals while they were actively sabotaging every progressive program ranging from children in need benefits to every safety net program to aid those in need of a helping hand. If they regain control they will renew their attack on every progressive program including their attacks to destroy Social Security which they have been waging since the death of Roosevelt, and not to mention their determination to destroy the Affordable Care Act.

Republicans are the sworn enemy of the working class and are determined to enslave them in servitude.

[ananda]

14. Agree

All the way.

Still, if they help us defeat Trump, OK.

That's as far as it goes for me.

No rewards, just thanks.

[llashram]

7. I could care less

who or what Comey has joined, he is in a large way, responsible for letting a very dangerous lunatic into 1600 penn. ave. All these people who played with our lives, putting the whole world at risk, ARE now are jumping ship. TO HELL WITH COMEY!!! The trump virus can be laid at his feet along with many others now so very disappointed with mr. trump. And Comey was FBI Director. All these so-called smart people showing they are among the most easily conned and definitely not intelligent at all.

[BlueStater]

9. I guess Comey's conscience is eating away at him.

He’s the reason we even have “President Trump” in the first goddamn place.

[SEMILIB]

11. Does Comey even know what he believes in?

That slimy POS can go screw himself.

[radius777]

13. We don't need Comey around.

He has terrible judgement and no courage.

Other people like Rick Wilson, Steele etc you could say were ruthless (against us in the past), but at least effective as political operatives.

Comey is just a loser who is of no use.

[pecosbob]

15. I gotta concur with ya'll on this one

fu*k this guy.
