Ten Prominent "Republicans" Not Attending RNC Convention

...may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

10 Top Republicans Sitting Out the RNC Convention

Trump-resistant and election battling Republicans including two former Presidents, two former Republican nominees, and several former 2016 presidential hopefuls are offering up excuses for why they will not attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next week, notably among them a break with a history of former Presidents attending their party’s convention...

Big surprise some of them lied and broke the oath they took on that August debate stage. Probably would have broken their inauguration oath had they made it that far.

Bush, McCain, Romney... Why must these people still be relevant?

Those "Prominent" Republicans that aren't attending, just scream "ESTABLISHMENT" to me.

They're just throwing a temper tantrum because their establishment candidate didn't get in.

Well, Boo-freaking-hoo.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

They aren't leaving the Republican Party as much as the Republican Party is leaving them. Goodbye and good ridence.
