- Meet Scott from Nashville, a lifelong Republican who made a difficult decision to vote Democratic in the upcoming presidential election. After 44 years of allegiance to the GOP and voting for Trump in 2016, Scott explains why he feels unable to support Trump in 2024.
Republican Voters Against Trump is elevating the voices of former Trump supporters who won’t be voting for him this November. Watch their stories at rvat.org/

Thank you scott, No one wants a criminal for president. He's an embarassment to our Nation
Thank you for your vote against the evil, narcissistic con man.
Thank you, Scott. Your contribution to getting Trump out of the GOP will pay off down the road for all Americans. We need a strong two party system. Vote blue in 2024. 💙
That 2nd party wil not be the GOP anymore or this year. DJT kicked out the Mitt Romney types last month. I am an independent now. We need a proven taxpayer party and election reform.
@@cynthiashaw45 This may be true if the GOP can't find a platform with some decent values once Trump is gone.
@@jeffplimpton9171 you might be swayed into voting GOP again. I have seen the greed and hate and punching down on women and other races too much to ever trust GOP again. They are the same party that fought tooth and nail to block contraception. They will do it again.
Scott, thank you for speaking up, thank you for challenging yourself, and thank you for mustering the courage to do something you've never done before for the good of the country. Thank you for putting country first. I wish you every happiness. 🇺🇸
Like most politicians Biden has no idea at all what the average American family experiences in their everyday life (mortgage payments, paying high college costs, the high price of gasoline, the high price of groceries, paying taxes, paying for illegals, etc. Biden is a monumental failure and cannot be trusted.
THANK YOU SCOTT🇺🇲☝️
Thank you, Scott, for recognizing Trump’s instability. I am thankful you will be voting for Biden.
Joe Biden talks about the threat to our democracy, he is that threat. He is a threat because of his dishonesty, corruption and his willingness to take constitutional freedoms away from us. He is a threat because he’s opened up our borders so that people from non-democratic countries can come into ours and subvert our constitution and laws in order to take it over
Country over party!
🇺🇸 💙 🇺🇸 2024 and thank you!
January 6 was an absolute disgrace. Thank you, Scott.
Another ant-Trump coalition. As reported in the NY Times on March 12, 2024, the RVAT group is dedicated to opposing former President Donald J. Trump and planning to spend $50 million to stop him through a series of homemade testimonial videos of voters who backed him in past elections but say they can no longer support him in 2024. Imagine spending $50+ million to create hate.
REPUBLICANS ARE STILL NOT GIVING UP TRUMP THEY TOLD INSURRECTION WAS DEMOCRATS FAULT
Thank you Scott. You are clear-eyed and correct about J6. You are a true patriot.
You took the words right outa my mouth. Thank you for speaking out against Trump!
If people started thinking for themselves the country would be a better place. Scott is one of the better actors on the RVAT site, but he is still spewing the established media talking points.
@@WM0915 If everyone thought for themselves, maga wouldn't exist and America would be a safer place. You have no proof that any of these people are actors and until you can produce the proof, we will continue to believe you are lying.
@@jeffgoddard4100 I handed you the "proof" before. You can look it up, an anti-Trump group backed by billionaires Reid Hoffman, Seth Klarman and John Pritzker launched a $50+ million ad campaign featuring disaffected Trump voters. The RVAT which is funded by the Republican Accountability PAC is creating videos of former Trump voters explaining why they will not vote for him again. So, do you believe these people are doing this for free. I highly doubt it. Someone is coaching them and helping with piecing the clip together. The information is out there and this group is not hiding anything. No one is lying, you just fail to believe the facts.
@@WM0915 I'm convinced this video is one of many that prove Republicans are not only thinking for themselves but speaking for themselves also. Hearing it gives me hope that there are fewer crazy people in America than the media leads us to believe.
Thank you Scott, for voting country over party! You are a true patriot!
I completely understand Scott. I love my family, friends and country too much to ever hand it all over to Trump.
Thanks Scott for realizing the truth about Trump and not being fooled by the disinformation system.
Do not worry my friend I’m a life long hard Republican that love our country, But this criminal Trump forced me to vote this year for Biden just saved our Democracy and Constitution
So you will vote for a genocidal monster responsible for the deaths of more than 16,000 children.
I don’t see how hard it would be - I’m a democrat & If T was democrat I would DEFINITELY vote for a republican …. He’s raised enough hell already … I wouldn’yht hesitate - n
We have to stop voting along party lines, I mean the " lines" are becoming blurred and bought. We really need to vote for the best person for the country, state and county. No more party automatic loyalty, they just say what they think we want to hear and then do what they want anyway. Try to vote for the most direct honesty you can. Let's change the system to serve US, the people.
With due respect; to fixate on bogus DT trials and voting for corrupt, senikle narcissistic JB after the intentional serious damage he + Admin. continue to inflict on this Country after 3.5 yrs those types are delusional(aka refuse to see reality), indoctrinated by the desperate, jealous pettiness of the Left, who collectively are the true Insurrectionists and both are clear and present danger to the US
Great words Scott!!! Let’s vote BLUE!!!👏🇺🇸🧢
bigly lies=bigly problems! vote blue 💙😊
I admire your ability to put our country above your party. Seriously, thank you.
I crossed that bridge in 2016 Scott. I have followed him for 50 years, read all his books, and listened to his campaign garbage. I know his reputation and how he has destroyed small businesses and just stepped over the bleeding bodies. He does NOT care about YOU or anyone else. Look at where so many of the people that were around him in 2015-16 are now. I had voted for John McCain, even as Sarah Palin gave me pause in a huge way, and in 2016 voted for Hilary. SHE certainly was NOT a favorite, personality wise, but I'm not trying to spend holidays with her, we needed someone capable of running the country and not trying to undercut everything this country as stood for. Think of Joe in that way. You WILL be able to "fight another day".
Joe Biden is a good man, and you can go on line and see the bills he has managed to pass that are helping everyone AND that his Repuglicant detractors are RUNNING on even as they voted NO on every one. I am on Medicare and SS and I have spent over 3 thousand dollars on medication this year and my average for the year is around 7 grand. Next year MY cost will be limited to 2,000.00. Thank you Joe Biden. There is NO perfect POTUS EVER, but Donald Trump puts a whole new meaning to that. He is vile, he is dangerous.
The people who still avidly defend Trump nowadays have chosen their side and have no character as people.
Thank you for your post, well said.
I wanted to mention that until the 2k cap kicks in next year and if you haven't already explored your options, you may want to look into discount options that may help. GoodRX, Cost plus drug company and the drug maker sites may have discounts/ rebates. They have helped my family with auto immune diseases with cutting costs. I hope you find this helpful. 💙
Thank you for your refreshing words of wisdom! Apparently many tRump supporters never did any homework or they would know that he has been a crook his entire life, and because of his daddy, there were no rules….
God bless you. Jan 6th is what did it for me.
Never Forget.
Scott you are making the right decision for you & your country ,you won’t be disappointed,
Thank you Scott. It's encouraging to know that there are still adults in the room. Thank you for choosing country over party.
Thank you. Jan 6th was truly disgusting, the people deserve to see Trump held accountable
January 6th was nothing compared to what the Left would do if they could get away with it.
Thank you for your honesty abour your decision and for putting country/Constitution first instead of a person with a vindictive agenda.
Thank you Scott. T rump isn't stable. I agree with you.
Scott, you're choosing your country over a man who would destroy it. Thank you 🇺🇲💙
Here in the Netherlands 80.2 % of the population applauds your choice. Thank you for voting for the president who supports your allies.
I'm sorry your country is brainwashed.
Trump was really good for America.
I miss having a sense of hope for our future.
@@BabyGirlDontEvenPlay he inherited a great economy and then tanked it by mishandling the pandemic.
@@BabyGirlDontEvenPlayhe added 25 % to the total national debt accumulated since George Washington. Only to give tax cuts to the obscenely rich. Your children's children won't be happy.
@@lbrounen not really, there was so much pressure from his opponents so unless you're saying he should have kept the country open during Covid, you can thank our Democrat party for what happened globally.
@@BabyGirlDontEvenPlayYou’re clearly misinformed. If you look at legitimate research, you will learn the truth about who has added the most to our country’s debt. You will learn who spends less and saves more for tax payers. It’s not republicans. The real truth is out there and you’re either willfully ignorant, lazy, or a maga liar.
Thank you, Scott. You may not agree with any or all of President Biden's policies, but at least you know you'll get a decent man who truly cares about America, and unlike Trump, is not in it only for himself. We've had three and a half years of sanity and normalcy in the White House, unlike the previous tenant's daily chaos and ridicule. We appreciate you.
Instead of "sanity" and "normalcy," "dementia" and "incontinence"
Like most politicians Biden has no idea at all what the average American family experiences in their everyday life (mortgage payments, paying high college costs, the high price of gasoline, the high price of groceries, paying taxes, paying for illegals, etc. Biden is a monumental failure and cannot be trusted.
Thank you Scott for putting your country first. You are a true patriot. You have my respect and gratitude. Hopefully there will be enough concerned citizens to get us through this crisis.
Same situation. Kudos to you for speaking out. More people need to.
Thank you Scott. It takes a strong individual to question themselves and even a stronger person to stand up for country over party. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much 🙏🙏.
Thank you, Scott 💙 We support you! Vote Blue for the sake and survival of our country! Country over party!
Thank you Sir & Trymp brought this all on himself by being power hungry for a dictator
Thank you Sir Republicans Voters against Trump is my new healing
Thank you sir for helping protect our country and democracy 💙🇺🇸💯💪

Well, better late than never.
Thank Scott for your words and country over party! 💙💙🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸
PRO - AMERICA'S ❤️🔥 🇺🇸 . PRO - DEMOCRACY ❤️🔥 🇺🇸 . VOTE BLUE ❤️🔥 🫂 🌎.
Or ANY of it to him. NEVER!
Thank you speaking out! You are doing the right thing for our country.
Thank you for putting country over party. 🙏
Thank you, Scott.
Thank you, Scott!! 🇺🇸
I am proud of your awareness. Please share it with all you know
Bravo, Sir! Things don't always evolve in a way we like. It is courageous to allow yourself to change for the better of your country. I sincerely hope that one day there will be a Republican party worthy of the name.
You are a true patriot 👏👏
I thank you for caring that much about America. God bless you.
Thank you Scott for coming out
Amen brothers! 🙏 Thank you for opening your eyes and heart
Put politics aside and vote for democracy.
Oh God bless you, sir
Sometimes you have to vote your conscience....and I am not partisan...I am from South Africa...I have no horse in this race...but as an outsider it is sad to see what is happening to your country and really....and I am serious...people here see Trump and his supporters as a total joke and total idiots...when they say the world is laughing at the USA right now, they are right, but they are not laughing at Biden, they are laughing at Trump and his MAGA. You need to keep this man out! Good luck!
As a Progressive who has voted Democrat most of my life, I have found that watching these videos has been an unconventional but profoundly helpful form of therapy, in several ways:
1. Regardless of any polling we're seeing NOW and given everything going on with Trump's legal concerns, Republican or Conservative voters, may well be the difference to re-electing Biden, and that warms my heart.
2. Before I retired, I used to know and work with men similar to Scott here and a host of others here who've made these 'jumping off the MAGA clown car' videos, remind me of good decent INTELLIGENT conservative people , I've encountered...and THE one thing I could always attribute to most conservatives I knew, was something called 'common sense
The ability to look at a mistake, acknowledge a mistake...correct that error and move on.
What remains of MAGA, is a resolute group of malcontents who believe in their own infallibility, because they have bestowed the divine right of kings, on their Leader.
And neither is true..THEY are not infallible and even Ray Charles could see, Trump is not divine.
The great(IMHO) film director Werner Herzog declared shortly after Trump was elected, that 'America was awakening to the horrific truth, that 1/3 of its citizens could kill another 1/3, while another 1/3 watches.'
I hope with every ounce of my being, that ths 1/3rd here ...these good and decent American Conservatives, won't just set and watch. That they'll recognize the humanity in their fellow citizens who happen to look different, or think differently; Join ranks with us and reign in this mad, treasonous 1/3rd, that wants to burn our nation down
Very well said. Thanks for taking the time to give such great encouragement and a good novel breakdown of current American.
Country over Party! 💪🇺🇲🦾
Thank you, Scott, for believing in the truth!
Thank you sir for putting country over party.
I understand Scott. I would much rather have a country than to ever vote for trump.
Thank you for sharing this 🇺🇸⚖️🇺🇸
Thank you for your honesty, Scott. It's country over party at this point. Go with your gut and ignore the trolls.🙂
You still ignoring the truth. All one has to do is actually open their eyes and objectively look around to see what a smoldering disaster of a train wreck the Biden administration has been.
Thank you for choosing democracy ❤
Can’t thank you enough for speaking up Scott! I am hopeful that others will listen to your important message.
Vote for democracy💙💙💙
Never ever would I vote for Dump.
Save democracy
THANKS SCOTT!!!
Thank you Scott
You'll be okay, Scott. Vote for Biden. He'll do his best for everyone, even those who feel forced to vote for him. And he'll work for those who didn't vote for him as well. Not like Citizen Trump who openly shats on Haley voters and anyone who doesn't "follow" him. The Republicans will have a couple years to dump Trump...if they really don't want him to represent the party, that is.
Ty😊
Thank you Scott 👏
anyone reading this, ask yourself what percentage of people
you know would you make a better president donald trump, if it's less than ninety percent i feel very sorry for you.
He got made at the VP for not breaking the law which he finds easy to do.
Brave!!!
Thank You. I for one am thankful to you for helping turn this messed up country around. It won't be perfect but it will be better without Trump as our leader of our world.
Thank you
Well said
Thank you Scott. Our family is also generations of conservative Republicans mostly in TN and VA. Those of us (mostly vets and their families) that realize the JRBiden is more conservative and honorable than DJT will vote for JRBiden in 2024 and some voted for Biden 2020!. Those of us that are unable to vote for anything other than R are decreasing in number and are not voting fro DJT or any extreme/ultra MAGA candidates.
Thank you.
It shouldn’t be difficult to choose what is good and right for the country and the moral that you so taught about.
Democrats welcome you with open arms. We are really quite nice. Democrats want to do good things for all Americans, not just those who agree with us. You won’t agree with everything but, hopefully, you will find some things you like and maybe even stay after trump is gone. He scares me to death. Thanks for coming along. 🌸✌️
Voting Democrat in 2020 after being Republican since 1989 was the EASIEST decision I've EVER made! Country over party! Vote 💙
Scott, ANYONE should be voting for the person, not the party. Listen to what they say, and their policies, not some label. I'm not advocating a "cult of personality", rather an informed electorate. Voting for a label isn't fulfilling your civic responsibility, looking at the candidates and making your decision based on their platform, ideas and character is what out forefathers intended. Hundreds of thousands of Americans over the past 250 years died to protect our freedoms and Constitution, it shouldn't be to great a burden to honor those sacrifices by VOTING, and being an informed voter.
I’m a registered democrat however I’ve always voted across the board based on the qualifications of the candidate, but I will vote court over party any day of the week to defend our constitution. Trump is a valid threat to this country.
You have the choice to vote. Always....hopefully you will vote for the good guy
WHO IS WE, BOY??
Thank you from this Dem!
Thank you Scott that you made the wise decision and tell everyone to vote for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and for BLUE this November 5 of 2024! 🔘🔵🌐💙🟦💺🧢🗨️🫂👥👤🥤🌀💧🔘🎶👣🗣️👍🇺🇸❕
it's called love of country first. You Scott are an example of that not some deranged cult follower.
Daffy vs Donald is where this presidency of 2024 turned out to be.
You got the names mixed up. We can't have that from Old Bidey.
I thought he was ted cruz for a minute.
REBUILD THE REPUBLICAN PARTY REPUBLICANS AGAINST TRUMP VOTE IN NOVEMBER KEEP THE MOVEMENT GOING
I have voted democrat most my life and I always and more on the fence because there’s values to both parties but I have found the Democratic presidents normally try to take care of the needs of the people which resonates with me because I grew up poor. I had a mom working three jobs just to put food on the table so the government aid was helpful. But the one thing that Biden has that Trump has absolutely none of his values for his fellow human being. I can’t vote for a rapist I can’t vote for someone that really continues to denigrate women I am a veteran so believe me the resurrection was heartbreaking. In my lifetime I would’ve never thought that our capital of the United States of America would be attacked by so-called Americans so-called patriots. The Maga Republicans need to really wake up and they’re just not really represented what America is about they are following a dictator and as a veteran and my son’s a veteran I will never vote for a dictator. Too many people have died to protect our freedoms our democracy and to keep us as a republic under one nation under God - wake up America this is the most critical year ever in your lifetime to vote Democratic.
Amen, Scott. I’ll be voting for Biden even though Im a lifelong Republican. Trump has soiled the Republican Party to the point it’s no longer recognizable. He’s cancerous.
Just keep on representing your views Scott and yes it may be hard though it's just one vote and it will move the direction of the country where you'd rather it be versus voting for Donald Trump so, keep making your opinion known. That's what's most important in a democracy.
Trump is not a conservative. I’m not real sure he’s even human.
Whos we , you? The rest of us feel much differently, you will find out in November.
It is usually very hard for white men to support other causes and people. Maybe he’ll learn more, that would be so nice. The hardest thing he’s ever had to do is vote for a different old, white man. 😢
Seee … as an unaffiliated… I just don’t get this team one color hardball … vote the hell who has a history of getting things done and with good solid debate for a fair enough conclusion.. our country changes constantly… and globally we need skills to deal with that as well .. VOTE talent and ability.. not this damn hard line shit on either side ..
