A new report by Lifezette finds that the #NeverTrump defecting Republicans supported amnesty.

Here again is the list of defecting Republicans helping the Clinton Campaign.



Lifezette reported:

In a 2013 email published a few days ago by WikiLeaks, Hillary Clinton expressed views wildly at odds with those of the American citizenry: “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.” Most of Donald Trump’s Republican defectors are poised to help her achieve her open-borders dream.

As Republican elites continue to defy Republican voters on the crucial issue of immigration, it’s not surprising that the Senate’s open-borders crowd is refusing to back the man who—largely because of his hawkish immigration position — was chosen by Republican voters to be their party’s nominee. While only 30 percent of Senate Republicans voted for the open-borders “Gang of Eight” legislation (30 percent too many), the percentage was far higher among Trump defectors. Among senators who were in office in 2013, 55 percent (6 of 11) of those who now say that they cannot support Trump voted to support the “Gang of Eight” legislation.

Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) says she “cannot support” and “will not vote for” Trump. Susan Collins (R., Maine) says she “could not support” Trump. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.) says Trump “needs to withdraw from the race.” Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) says Trump “should drop out.” John McCain (R., Ariz.) says he “will not vote for” Trump (but will instead “write in the name of some good” Republican, who in McCain’s imagination is running for president). And Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) says she “cannot and will not support” Trump, who has “has forfeited the right to be our party’s nominee.” All six voted for the Gang of Eight bill.

Over in the House, Speaker Paul Ryan has largely withdrawn his support from Trump, saying he’ll no longer campaign for him and will not defend him (although he still endorses him). Now that Marco Rubio has been (partially) chastened, Ryan is perhaps the most prominent and forceful Republican backer of open-borders immigration law.

They oppose Trump because of self-interest, donors and drug money.

Helps us know who is bought and paid for by special interests.

Exactly, Jean. And just think about this, too. These are members of Congress, who decide on issues of war, education, health care, debt, regulations, economy and taxes. These are members of Congress that hold our country so far in a vice, squeezing every job, space and penny out of our pockets and country. Such important matters as these can not end well when Republicans can't even protect our own candidate for President. When members of Congress are so juvenile and self-centered, so bought and owned by donors and other special interests, how can they possibly decide in our interest the many issues they impact? They can't, they don't have the character, the honor, the priorities, common sense or intelligence to decide these matters in ways that benefit the United States and the American People.

Yes, they have most certainly exposed themselves. We should call them The Flashers!

Why am I not surprised?
