CHICAGO, Ill. (WTVO) — Former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar said he’ll be voting for Democrat Joe Biden during an interview this week, breaking ranks with President Donald Trump.

Edgar, former U.S. Rep. Ray LaHood, and ex-Illinois Republican Party chair Pat Brady said they would be voting for Biden the week of the Republican National Convention.

“He’s been more of a disappointment than I thought he’d be,” Edgar said in an interview with WBEZ. “I think he bungled the pandemic thing. He undercuts our allies. I don’t understand his relationship with [Russian President Vladmir] Putin. The list goes on and on.

“But I think the biggest thing is his character. He’s a bully. He doesn’t tell the truth. Just all kinds of things.”

Just another swampy reprobate exposing himself.

The globalist RINO’s are coming out of the woodwork. No more deception, they are clearly identifying themselves with George Soros.

“””” I don’t understand his relationship with [Russian President Vladmir] Putin.””””

That might be because he doesn’t have a relationship with Putin. Just a hunch.

They are all GOP 1.0. We’ve moved on from them.

“The globalist RINO’s are coming out of the woodwork.”

Absolutely. These are the pinheaded unethical incompetents who have soiled government for decades.

You can’t “break ranks” unless you were once in the ranks. I think Edgar was dead set against Trump from the very beginning.

Well, the price of silver is up, so 30 pieces will probably bring a lot, depending on the size of the pieces.

He was in jail too?
Never even heard of this guy before.
Why do all these RINO clowns that most Republicans never heard of before, think anyone cares who they endorse?

“undercuts our allies”

How? By telling them to stop grifting off us like they’ve been doing for decades?

If he and his ilk really think that, it’s no wonder we’re in this mess.

The media cares (and hope it helps Biden), which is the only reason you’re hearing about it.

Idiots like these guys pretending to be conservatives have permeated the Republican party for years.

"I think he bungled the pandemic thing" "I don’t understand his relationship with...Putin." "The list goes on and on." "Just all kinds of things."

Notice this man's penchant for very imprecise language, a sign of sloppy thinking. He can't make a case for his position and won't betray the real reason for his bias.
