Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Wednesday that Donald Trump is an "embarrassment" to the Republican Party and the country.
At a Manchester, New Hampshire campaign event for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Ridge dismissed Trump as a serious presidential contender.
"I think Donald Trump is about celebrities, he's about publicity, he's not about bringing a serious mindset toward trying to address the wide range of security challenges in this country," he said.
Ridge, who supports Bush for president, said he would never vote for Trump.

“When your friends got the nomination, we had to vote for them to save the country from those mean, nasty Democrats. My, how the tables have turned.”
You aren’t kidding. I had to keep a special bag handy entering the voting booth for fear of having a digestive ‘accident’.
Should've hit up his good friend Bob Dole for some free Viagra.
Fortunately for Trump, at least 90% of the people in the country have no idea who Tom Ridge is.
I am. Trump is getting people to see that Islam is not a religion of peace, lies which GW Bush and Ridge told us. We are at war with Islam, not terrorism.
You NAILED it:
“The republican party abandoned conservatives a long time ago. It’s just this round they aren’t able to hide it.”
Well said.
It’s brutal - I’ve finally realized they’re all libtards with different friends that donate - that’s all.
Tom Ridge is one of the biggest embarassments to the GOP and to this country.
That dope was the face of Homeland Security—the jihadis laughed their rear ends off at him.
What a squish.
Another GW Bush brainfart.
The people will desert the gop-e elite and then where will they go? Chaffee and Spector demonstrated who these people really support.
Ridge was a poor leader in PA.
He was nominated because it was “his turn.”
He gave us Wolfe.
Ridge has it backward. They are being exposed for the embarrassing teat sucking cockroaches they are.
Trump was an embarrassment on O’Reily last night. Couldn’t give a straight answer. It was pathetic.
No Tom...you’re an embarrassment to this country. You and the rest of your ilk who claim islam is a ‘religion of peace’. The American people have finally figured out that you’re full of sh*t and we’re not buying your crap anymore.
Not just you...America.
Aw, gee. Mr. Ridge... pro-abortion, pro-homo marriage, “Islam is a religion of peace” Mr. Ridge. You find Trump an embarrassment?
Well, choke on it, damn you. Choke on it to death!
I read earlier they had drug Dole out to trash Trump and now Ridge. They should be told thanks for trashing your fellow warrior, now vote for the Democrat like you want to do.
Tom Ridge sucks. He’s for Jeb who sucks equally bad.
I am truly becoming more and more concerned by how many Republican politicians I thought were Conservative but are, in fact, unAmerican....
They are more pro-themselves and their job than pro-America.
When Trump becomes POTUS, a lot of the GOPe employees and their network of funds will be Fired!
The rest of us are pro-America and our concern is our way of life and safety. Most of our jobs are not political appointments and favors.
“I think Donald Trump is about celebrities, he’s about publicity, he’s not about bringing a serious mindset toward trying to address the wide range of security challenges in this country”
Trump has offered the most serious, severe options for the “wide range of security challenges” the country faces. The idea that he’s not “serious” is laughable.
Yes. It boggles the mind. Don’t they know they mock and deride Trump’s supporters as well?
Fools, all.
