My hope is that a lot of younger Harris supporters haven’t been responding to polls since it just annoys them and the polling has been biased because it’s only older boomers responding.
I aint been polled
I don't even answer the phone if I don't recognize the number.
However, there are moments in history where it becomes necessary to put country over party.
So putting the country first is the exception?
Not that it’s going to surprise anybody.
"Anthony Scaramucci" - not a great name of you're looking for credibility... But hopefully the other signers and sheer numbers will carry weight.
It's rats jumping ship, and pretty telling when Trump's "brand" is deemed too toxic for even some of the biggest shit heads in his orbit. And that is how the media should be framing it, if they didn't want a fascist in charge at least.
Who let him sign?!
He did it so fast no one noticed.
We should have expected it from the man who has a whole unit of measure named after him.
They let him do the fandango.
Yeah, give him a break. He’s been waiting over 166 Scaramuccis for this.
Mama mia
I disagree, I watch The Rest is Politics podcast which he does with Katty Kay from the BBC and find him very thoughtful and sincere. He actually has great insights.
The letter was signed by Trump administration officials, including Kevin Carroll, former senior counselor to Kelly; former deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews; former assistant secretary of homeland security Elizabeth Neumann; former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci; former chief of staff at the Dept. of Homeland Security Miles Taylor; former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham; former press secretary to the vice president Alyssa Farah Griffin; and former national security adviser to vice president Pence, Olivia Troye.
