Richard Wright: “I am a former lifelong Republican (became independent after Trump’s nomination), a Burkean conservative reader of National Review and Commentary, and Ross, along with David Brooks, are two of my current ideological guideposts. I have already mailed in my [Florida] ballot in which I did exactly as Ross proposed: Dem for the House, Rep for the Senate, and a write in of Jeb Bush for Gov . since Gillum is too far to the left and Desantis is too much a Trump sycophant.”

Eric Morgan: “I am a lifelong Republican, having voted with the party in every presidential election since the first Reagan term. I was never a [Bill] Clinton fan and in the current #metoo world we live in his legacy has not aged well in my opinion. So it was with a clothespin upon nose and a very heavy heart that I pulled the lever for Hillary in 2016.

“So, I count myself among the Never Trumpers who has taken the previously inconceivable action of voting for not only a Democrat but one of the most deeply flawed candidates in my lifetime. Here is the good news — I live in Utah and will vote for Mitt Romney who has shown the courage to speak out against the most flawed President since Nixon. I hope he doesn’t let us down.”

Lynn Schmidt: “I am a Never Trump former Republican. I live in Missouri where we have Senator McCaskill running against Josh Hawley. Josh is a Trump lackey. I will be voting for and even have donated money to several Democratic campaigns. As a mother of a child with a disability, I got off the Trump bandwagon when he made fun of the reporter with a disability. I was a delegate to the 2012 RNC but would not even attend our state convention if that meant supporting Trump. I am no longer a Republican if the G.O.P . is the Party of Trump. I am disappointed every day by our president. There are currently no checks and balances. That is what I am voting for, checks and balances.”

For more on this topic, you can read some of the conservatives who have grown disillusioned with the Republican Party, including: Jay Caruso of The Dallas Morning News, writing a piece in The Atlantic called “I’m Not Leaving the Republican Party;” The Washington Post’s George Will urging Republicans to vote against their party; Mona Charen, about an on-stage encounter early this year; Max Boot, on quitting the G.O.P.; and Jonathan Chait on the importance of Boot’s attack on the party.
