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.”

Several Illinois Governors have been sent to jail. I bet he is just as corrupt and this proves it if he is for biden.

Voted for Hillary, also. Supported McCain in primary in 2008, Romney in 2012. Anti-life. You can tell how liberal he is in that Wikipedia mentions nothing about his positions or “controversies.”

Not exactly a surprise:

When Donald Trump won the Republican nomination in 2016, Edgar publicly announced that he would not be voting for the candidate.[16]

These idiots listen to the mainstream media too much and do not look into things on their own. This shows you how effective the disinformation campaign run by the dems is. If you get your “news” from the tv, you are not getting news.

Trump is succeeding in getting rid of the establishment Republicans. They are outing themselves.

After the establishment weasels remove themselves from the GOP, what will remain is a pro-America party ready to lead this nation out of the politically correct, self-destructive wilderness we've been lost in for the last 50-60 years.

This just shows how far back the rot in Illinois goes, and I know that it goes even further back. I doubt there has been a conservative governor in this state in my lifetime, and I am old. Downstate Illinois always has to pay for Chicago’s disastrous policies and voting ‘irregularities’.

Trump exposed all of these frauds.

We had multiple Christmas Cards and many other forms of correspondence from the Bush family. We chucked them all in the trash long ago. GW especially proved that although he was sincere at the time; he is an idiot and a cog in the "deep state".

We still have letters and cards from President Reagan including some thanking us for specific deeds on White House stationary that we have framed.. We still treasure them.

This self-ID of criminal Republicans is refreshing. They are co-opted to the point that the DNC is activating them in the hopes they still have some sway.

If you’re coming out for a half-decade political criminal like Biden, you’re not doing it willingly. Especially if you’re a washed-up RINO.

This oaf is your typical criminal politician who now has some level of dementia. Can you name one positive-for-society thing this bum achieved when he was in office?
