I suspect MAGA is going to primary him to get him out of office. Ya can't have an opposing opinion in a dictatorship.

..."I plan on voting for Harris," he said.

Cowles said he has been concerned about blowback and potential threats about coming forward with his views on the presidential election, but said he is joining several other Republicans in backing Vice President Harris over former president Donald Trump..

"I really think this is one of the most important things I've done," said Cowles. "Hopefully, people will accept that and listen to me, those that have trusted me and believed in me will think about that, and if they're undecided, that we have to make a change here."

He added, "Trump has to be defeated, and we have to protect the Constitution. And the country will go on, even with some liberal things that Harris might do, or might not do ... You have to have the foundation of the Constitution, to protect democracy. If you don't have that, we will disappear." ...

With as much of this sort of thing as keeps happening, I have a really hard time believing that this election is as close as the media is claiming it is.

We know polls are worthless now, very few people answer random numbers calling any more.

I'm not sure it'll be the blowout landslide we really need, but I don't see how Harris couldn't win.

I just found out this morning that a Republican friend of mine (I'm actually much better friends with his Harris voting wife) decided to vote third party instead of Trump. Considering that he'd been pushing MAGA pretty hard for the last 4 years, I consider this a victory. After some of Trumps most recent comments at events, my friend decided that Trump was just too morally bankrupt to have the vote.
