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Over in the House, Speaker Paul Ryan has largely withdrawn his support from Trump, saying he’ll no longer campaign for him and will not defend him (although he still endorses him).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?

Here again is the list of turncoat Republicans who are working for the Clinton Campaign—



On Wednesday Rush Limbaugh UNLOADED on the these turncoat Republicans who are propping up Hillary Clinton for president!



Via the Rush Limbaugh website:

RUSH: Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, move on. If congressional endorsements meant anything, Jeb Bush would be the nominee. Move on. It doesn’t matter. The people that are running away from you are the people that want to sign up for amnesty and join the Democrats anyway. Move on. These people couldn’t get the people they wanted for the nomination. Just swat them away, Mr. Trump…
…I have to tell you something. I want to repeat this question to all of you Republicans. I know I just told Trump to forget ’em. But I need to repeat a question, modify it a little bit. We have a number of congressional Republicans and Senate Republicans — well, hell, Republicans of every stripe, elected, nonelected, who are publicly and happily, apparently, distancing themselves from Trump and saying Trump is simply unacceptable.

By virtue of this, they are guaranteeing Hillary Clinton gets elected. Well, they’re not guaranteeing that, but they are certainly telegraphing that they’re perfectly fine with Hillary Clinton being elected. They’re perfectly fine with it. They are doing everything but joining the Democrat Party. At the same time, they’re telling them to vote for them to stop Hillary Clinton. They’re saying, “We cannot lose our House majority, and we cannot lose our Senate majority,” while they abandon their nominee, while they abandon Trump.

So they abandon Trump for some semblance of virtue they want us to believe, and then, as they campaign for reelection and as their <acronym title="Google Page Ranking">PR</acronym> people, consultants campaign for them, they tell us that we must vote for them after they abandon the nominee, we must vote for them to stop Hillary.

Why is it important? It must not be important to stop Hillary; you’re doing the very thing that’s practically guaranteeing her winning. Why is it important to elect you to stop Hillary if it’s not important to you to stop Hillary from even getting there? We don’t want to stop Hillary in the White House. We would like to prevent her from getting there.
