Ex-Sen. Gordon Humphrey (R-NH)

...Republicans in Congress — with few praiseworthy exceptions — increasingly kowtow to a president who is utterly without principle or decency, a demagogue who trades in the basest human emotions, whose chaotic persona and bizarre conduct strongly suggest a dangerously unhealthy mind.

...[I] promote[d] [Conor] Lamb as a means to begin the containment of Trump’s poisonous presidency.

As a former Republican who is still a Reagan conservative, I believe we need more Conor Lambs as an antidote to Trump's poison. This is no time to obsess over party labels. Electing candidates of either party who will stand up to Trump is the first step in restoring a normal, decent, civilized America.

The second step is to dump Trump in 2020. Many hope the president will be removed before then. But even if special counsel Robert Mueller survives the daily attacks by Trump and his staff and produces incontrovertible evidence of an impeachable offense, it’s doubtful enough Republicans would do their constitutional duty and support impeachment and conviction. Too many have drunk too much Trump-Aid.
...
Barring impeachment or determination under the 25th Amendment that he is mentally impaired to the extent he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office, Trump has a lock on the nomination.
