Anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project has gotten nearly 100 Republican and independent politicos on board its Republicans and Independents for Biden initiative, including former governors Rick Snyder of Michigan and Bill Weld of Massachusetts.

Snyder announced his endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday and called President Trump a “bully.” . . .

Snyder wrote in a Detroit Free Press op-ed on Thursday. “While I am endorsing Joe Biden for president, I am still a Republican who also will be publicly supporting Republican candidates at the local, state and federal level.” . . .

“Joe Biden has been a failure in the Washington Swamp for a half century, so no one should be surprised when Swamp creatures gather to protect one of their own,” Trump 2020 communications director Tim Murtaugh said in a statement. “President Trump has unprecedented support — over 95 percent — among real Republican voters and is also making strong inroads in Biden’s core Democrat constituencies, like Black Americans, Latinos, and union members.”

Weld, a one-time primary challenger to Trump who ended his campaign in March, is also listed as a member of the steering committee for Republican and Independents for Biden.

The committee is headed by former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, who spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August.

“To all my Republicans and Independent friends out there who feel as I do but who have sat on the sidelines thus far, I encourage you to join us,” Whitman wrote in an op-ed on Thursday.

Other members of Republican and Indedependents for Biden include former Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters, who served under President George W. Bush, former Pennsylvania Rep. Charlie Dent and current South Carolina state lawmaker Gary Clay.

Let’s be real honest. A person doesn’t have to look too far to spot a RINO. They are obvious… without conviction and willing to sell out because of their void of true moral conviction and lack of personal integrity. We know many have sold out for temporary gain – money and notoriety.
Help us Lord to continue to recognize dishonesty when it is speaking or active. Help us with courage to speak boldly in confronting those who have sold out and are willing to spread lies. In Jesus name… amen

Lord, I pray in agreement with millions of other men and women to stand in the gap for rentable for the sins of America, I pray Your hand be on all people who stand for President Donald Trump and lead them to vote for him in November. It’s saddening to see people committed to stand for things of people who believe in killing unborn babies and sexual perversity. They become part of the crime as if they have committed it personally, Lord I pray for You to forgive them and all who they are involved with, I pray in Jesus Name, Amen
Pray in unity with me to abolish these sins of America, God bless you all.

Lord, the battle is fierce as the Establishment seeks to protect itself! Please use your mighty Spirit to bring down all those in power who would hurt this country. Please send your mighty Spirit to flow through the land and to open the eyes of the casual, non-involved voter so that they can see through the lies and deceptions of the enemy.

Turncoats, like that guy from Ohio. I can’t think of his name. I don’t think the gates of hell can prevail against the Donald! In 2016 SOMEONE did interfere in the elections and it wasn’t the Russians! Prayer: “Dear Heavenly Father, how hurtful this is to our President, enemies coming out of the woodwork! In your Word it tells us to love our enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you. Matthew 5:44 I pray for Rick Snyder, former governor of Michigan. I pray for Bill Weld of Massachusetts. They think they are doing the right thing by coming against our President. Father forgive them for treating someone in authority over them so badly. Father forgive them for being jealous of the success of our President. Father forgive them for their sin of being disloyal. Our President has been stabbed in the back so many times. I pray that the prayers of IFA believers will help the Donald to bear up against yet another disappointment. Father, could you prepare America for what will happen if you are gracious enough to grant President Trump another victory on November 3rd? The Swamp creatures are full of hate. You are the only One who can change hearts. Only you can teach us how to come against principalities and powers that are in these high places. We claim your protection like in Psalm 91. Perfect your Church as we implement II Chronicles 7:14. Oh God our help in ages past our hope for years to come. You are our shelter from the stormy blast and our eternal home! Thank you Jesus for your presence in America. Would you continue to hover over the White House and our nation as we go through this difficult time. In Jesus name. Amen.”
