"I just find it, frankly, depressing, that I'm living in a time, when the Republican Party, in a rout, prefers Donald Trump, to Liz Cheney, or even Mike Pence, for that matter."

"I think Trump has so perverted and polluted the Republican Party that it may be beyond salvation."

"They're dying because of failed leadership, and they're being misled."

"What the Republican Party is revealing itself is a party that once again, and we've seen this over the last five years, puts politics ahead of the country."
