Tom Ridge gives Trump another boost in the polls, a small one but a boost none the less.

What a moron. He should be more troubled if the rats take away more of our freedoms and give away more of our money. Oh, but he’s rich and can hide his money, I guess.

OK Tom, if I declare myself a candidate for President am I immune from any and all criminal investigations too?

Maybe her cough will clear up before the convention, but per this new “Biden rule”, you can’t investigate a Democrat running for office.

Seems to me the best way to be a criminal these days is to perpetually run for president on a Democrat ticket. You can be as corrupt as you want and no one can look into your activities.

If only Capone could have lived today...

‘Deep State Tom’
He must be worried about the huge rally the President had in Hershey last night.
BTW: Toomey did not make an appearance.....
We might need him now; BUT WHERE IS his primary challenger ???

Don’t forget; Ukraine is only one measely country. Picture all the hundred$ of Billion$ in “foreign aid” that goes out to SO MANY countrie$ around the globe. Then think about if merely 10% of that flows back to DC and into the pockets of career politicians. Now you’re getting a clue as to why the democRATS and RINOs are hellbent on railroading Trump out of town. He’s bringing that crap to a screeching halt. The Bidens and Ukraine/China scandal are merely one drop in a SWAMP of corruption.

It is even worse than that. Like a well-trained Lab, Ridge is a RINO who performs on command for the news media in return for nothing more than pats on the head and approving words.

I would not be surprised to learn that he’s on the take for some of that Ukraine money himself.

What would surprise me is to learn that anything north of about 6% of US aid to the Ukraine was actually spent by Ukrainians in Ukraine for a public benefit for the Ukrainians.

If Tom Ridge has turned against Trump, that’s it for me, I was just waiting for his opinion.

Picture all the hundred$ of Billion$ in “foreign aid” that goes out to SO MANY countrie$ around the globe.

Picture how much of that goes back into the pockets of private contractors in and around Washington DC and picture the mansions that money could build in the countryside around DC, then get a helicopter ride over the outskirts of DC and look down on all those mansions and then watch as your brain explodes from understanding what is really going on.

wiki:

Exelon Corporation
In April, 2005, Ridge’s appointment to the board of the Illinois/Pennsylvania/New Jersey electric utility was announced, with starting director compensation of $35,000 annual retainer plus a $1,500 meeting fee or per diem fee. Directors were also granted $60,000 in deferred stock units each year at that time.[36]

In 2010, it was reported that Ridge had appeared on MSNBC Hardball With Chris Matthews promoting nuclear energy as part of a “green agenda [to] ... create jobs, create exports,” without any revelation by him or the cable channel of his Exelon position. In the report, his cumulative Exelon-derived compensation was put at $530,659; and it was said that, as of March 2009, he held an estimated $248,299 in Exelon stock, according to SEC filings. Exelon was described as “the nation’s largest nuclear power company.”[37][38]

...

2016 Presidential election
In 2016, Ridge endorsed Jeb Bush and subsequently John Kasich after Bush’s withdrawal from the 2016 Republican presidential primaries. Ridge stated he would not endorse Donald Trump, following Trump becoming the presumptive nominee, or Hillary Clinton in the general election.[57]

If anyone listen to Rush yesterday, he finally stated that the Deep State is deeper then anyone can imagine (Comey, etc are foot soldiers). Believe this is making his point!

Ridge was my gubbernor, wasn't too bad nor too strong for us.

Ridge is a true, living , breathing example of a rino.

Except in today's world, being a pubbie is not what I want to align with.

I am a Trump populist, more of an old time liberal with fiscal conservative values.

When I say old time liberal, I really mean, leave my personal choices to me, freedom of speech, freedom of religion {or lack thereof}.

I won't look into your bedroom, and you stay away from mine.

My guns are my business, the way I make my living is my business, how I spend or donate my money is my business.

It seems pretty simple to me.
