Tom Ridge: 'I Can't Vote for Donald Trump'
Newsmax ^ | December 11,2015 | Todd Beamon

Posted on 12/12/2015 9:08:39 AM PST by Hojczyk

Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge said Friday that he would not support Donald Trump as Republican presidential nominee — and that "a real possibility" existed that he might not vote at all in next year's election if that is the case.

"I think he is an embarrassment to the party," Ridge, who became the nation's first secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush in 2003, told Neil Cavuto on Fox News. "If he is the man who has the votes, then that's the way it will be."

But when asked whether he would support the billionaire developer, Ridge said: "No. I can't vote for Donald Trump."

For Democrat Hillary Clinton?

"No," he replied. "I couldn't do that either. I know I can't support Donald for a variety of reasons."

"What does Tom Ridge do?" Cavuto asked. "Don't vote at all?"

"A real possibility," the former governor said. "It would be tough for me … , but I don't think Donald Trump will get the nod."

Trump hit back sharply on Twitter:

Donald J. Trump Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Follow Tom Ridge should be focused on trying to bring the party together rather than ripping it apart w/ your faulty thought process. I will win! 1:37 PM - 11 Dec 2015

Donald J. Trump Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Follow Tom Ridge is a failed 'Bushy' & PA Governor. Him & his friend @KarlRove shouldn't be allowed to do their bias commentary- nobody listens! 1:49 PM - 11 Dec 2015

Bushies, like Ridge, think that if Trump loses we’ll all coming running back to them.

Ain’t gonna happen, they are all finished, we’ve moved on.

Ridge was an early Never Trumper. Guess he’s back for more in 2020.

The arrogance from the GOPe is breathtaking. You would think Session’s losing badly would give them pause and re calibrate their strategy but apparently not.

Sarcasm is a manifestation of cynicism in my case.

Once again, Trump is positively differentiated by the enemies arrayed against him.

Why do these dopes have to offer up who they will or will not vote for? I was taught that one’s vote was personal and had no need to be shared. They are scared.

Nobody cares what this artifact says. He and around 60 million other mental cases won’t be voting for Trump.

ignore Trump's personality...it has served him well in his life and in his presidency...

he's not sweet and charming but he's effective....THAT is what you tell people....Trump is a leader...

and why would all the insanely rich elites be against him unless Trump was raining on their billion dollar parades..

Don't then. But don't think that your Communists buddies will cut you any slack when time comes to put you up against the wall. As they learned in Stalin'd day, they don't care how many times you scream, "You are making a terrible mistake. I am one of you!". They just sat,"ready, Load, Aim, Fire!".

You are a traitor to America, but you already knew that, didn't you?

What does Tom have to say, about voting for POTUS Trump, five years later?

How is he enjoying the destruction of our cities?

You would be what we would call a failure. Don’t care if it rolls off your back. I hold you personality responsible for any and all Democrats that get voted in and the damage they do.

I get you don’t care. You are a failure as a human being if you don’t fight against the enemy in all ways shapes and forms.

21-20 is still a victory.. you want it to be 52-0.
