Republicans Are Abandoning Trump

Those of us who were paying attention to the 2016 Republican debates that winnowed the field of GOP hopefuls will remember John Kasich, then governor of Ohio.  He’s not unlike Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney in that he really doesn’t have a progressive bone in his body, but fairness demands that liberals regard him as essentially a sane and decent human being.

Having said that, I think Kasich is being diplomatic in what he said here.  I believe the unvarnished truth is not that he has a problem with Trump’s fueling grievances, but rather that he can’t endorse a candidate who’s criminally insane.

Whatever the truth may be, here’s just one more Republican whose words served to block a second term for the former president.  Things are going downhill, and fast.
