It's become a trend: Prominent Republicans in several states are going against their party and lending support to Democratic gubernatorial candidates. (via MaddowBlog)

Former Republican U.S. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum announced Monday she would endorse Gov. Laura Kelly in the Kansas governor’s race. While Kassebaum endorsed Kelly in 2018, it was expected that one of the pre-eminent figures in Kansas politics would not back her or her opponent, Attorney General Derek Schmidt, in 2022.

If this political dynamic seems at all familiar, it’s not your imagination. The Metro Times in Michigan rana few weeks ago on the Wolverine State’s Democratic incumbent governor also benefiting from some GOP backing. Several more Republican leaders announced Tuesday that they will go against their political party and support Attorney General Josh Shapiro in the November gubernatorial election. Seven former GOP officials — including former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff and former Allegheny County state Rep. Jim Kelly — said they’ll support Mr. Shapiro, the state’s Democratic nominee, in the 2022 election.

Awesome!!

This time around we need help where we can get it.

First para needs amending: '...but Schmidt actually worked in Schmidt’s administration'

'It’s difficult to predict how many votes will be swayed by endorsements like these.' None. We all know which sides we're on.

Well I hope this turns a few MAGA heads.

🙄 When is an issue a non-issue? When parties do the same dirty tricks on each other and scream the rules ain't fair.

They are not real Republicans or they would not back a Democrat

Kinda like when Democrats back Republicans in their primaries that they think they'll able to beat in the general elections!

MSNBC + democrats =

Not Republicans, rinos

Anyone voting for a Democrat is voting for more crime, more inflation, more deaths from fentanyl, more invasion from illegal immigrants many of whom are violent criminals, and moving ever closer to dictatorial policies that always come with socialists and communists

What hypocrites!

Who’s skirt is the smoke going up as we approach Election Day? MSNBC? Pull out more stops… you’re quite entertaining with who you stroke.

There’s a lot of us that will turn out in numbers.

You’re on the wrong side of history

And it goes the other way too. So what!

Look at you trying to flip how the Democrats Paid into the Republicans primary and got them elected, Now the polls have tightened, and those Republicans have a very good chance of beating the Democrat. Americans beyond your cult followers are smarter then that

They’re doing it because they want to save democracy from the fascist wing of the Republicans

Who needs permission!?

Yeah and when is BulwarkOnline SykesCharlie gonna go the same?

It’s like telling fans of one football team that it’s ok to also cheer for the other team. But there are only two teams.

Propaganda from an unreliable source sums up MSNBC.

Far too little, far too late

Giving permission?

sure.. 😂

Might have opened their eyes but I doubt it

For what? To further more the social, moral, spiritual degradation and breakdown of our society and nation propagated by the demoralizing destabilizing dem left libs?

One party represents and stands for what is right and good while the other stands for and represents left, deceit, falsehood and evil

Probably their brains are messed up from smoking too much bad stuff

The trend needs to increase. They should have been trying to take back that party five years ago. Guess they were waiting for McCarthy and his gang. Glad they are stepping up now.

Yup AND THEY WILL ALLLLLL BE VOTED OUT!!!! They can join the SOCIALIST MARXIST DEMOCRAT PARTY!

🙄

I guess they have a conscience.

No it isn't

Every tweet from MSNBC is posted for the purpose furthering the interests of the leftist democrat party. So veracity is not a concern at MSNBC.

Why would they do that it doesn’t make sense

Because, regardless of MSM reporting, the majority of the Republican party is not MAGAts. They know they're dangerous.

Do we have to mention the GOP candidates the DNC funded?

RINO's

Vote 💙☑️

MaddowBlog We need to get the Rino's out along with you guys.

MaddowBlog The only chance for the GOP to survive is to stand up to the Cult of Trump.

MaddowBlog 👍👍👍👍

MaddowBlog Turmoil in the Republican party thanks to Trump, his lasting gift for the upcoming decade. He's stained the reputation of Republicans and created internal decent as the divisions widen. MAGA is chaos and won't end until it is no longer the dominate force forcing decisions.

MaddowBlog Then why are they still 'Prominent Republicans'?

MaddowBlog It was foretold that this would happen during the .....

MaddowBlog They arent Republicans except in name
