[Lnc-business] Anti-Trump Republican Congress members

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I received this suggestion from a Region member:

==I would like to make a suggestion to the LP national committee, if it
hasn’t already been considered, of a concerted lobbying effort to have
anti-Trump Republican members of Congress endorse Gary Johnson.   I suspect
as the Republican convention comes to a close they may be more receptive.
Given that we could point out Gary (and Bill) are former R-governors and
potentially take as many or more votes from Hillary than Donald, there
could be a pretty compelling case.  I really like the prospect of throwing
the election into the House of Representatives, which is possibly worth
mentioning, but admit that’s a longshot.



I have the relative good fortune of being represented by Senator Jeff Flake
of Arizona, who has stood up to the Donald;  I have sent him a message
suggesting that he endorse Johnson instead, as well as our Representative
Martha McSally, who so far has not endorsed Trump.  Perhaps it would have
an effect if many of his constituents, as well as those of other balking
Congresspeople, would do so.



Hopefully this is something the national party will think is worth
pushing.==
