i thought Romney and the Bush family were vocally opposed, and Kasich too.
the party system makes it very difficult to go against the majority within your party, so i understand the pressure that comes with trying to speak out. that said, with the latest events, Ryan gave everyone the opportunity to jump ship while saving face, so now there is no excuse for any Republicans caught still supporting trump.
that's for this past year. now, for the direction the party has taken these past 8 years, the blame falls on all of them for entertaining racists and such in the interest of short-term survival. i am not as familiar with whether individuals in the party spoke out against the tea party or not.
