Former GOP lawmakers on endorsing Biden: Trump is no Republican, 'lacks basic self-control'
The Hill ^ | Sept 26, 2020 | Morgan Gstalter

Posted on 09/26/2020 2:17:47 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

Two former Republican lawmakers wrote an op-ed on Friday explaining why they are supporting Democrat Joe Biden instead of President Trump in November, arguing Trump is "an ill-formed man who lacks basic self-control and shows no semblance of inner character."

Former Reps. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii) and Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.) in an opinion for Roll Call condemned Trump's "childish name-calling, crude behavior and immature narcissism."....

Djou and Edwards said the Democratic presidential candidate is "not a perfect man, but he is a man of humble decency."

Trump's lack of self control, versus Biden's increasing difficulty reading a teleprompter in staged interviews.

This should not be a difficult choice.

“Lacks basic self-control” = He has ambition lacks fear.

Former Reps. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii) and Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.)

Two names I have never heard of. I’m sure that makes it a winning endorsement for Biden. Sure to change a lot of minds.

You self righteous empty suits...there is no other man, including either/both of you... who could take what has been dished out to him in the 4 years... and he is still as strong and stands just as straight as before... self control???? he has more than you will ever hope to have..
go soak on this...he’s the man... you don’t measure up and you know it or you would not spend your time bashing the President!

“He is a populist conservative, which is much better.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been pondering for a long time how to categorize Trump. “Populist conservative” nails it.

Thanks.

How do you pretend to be a Conservative in any way when you throw in with the Democrat Party? The “R” next to their names stands for reprehensible.

Trump or Biden. Yes, Trump can tick me off, but; Biden is trash. Biden had lived of Gov. money his entire life. He has never had a job. He is a socialist puke. Trump is no lawyer, as he is a big time business type who understands
Admin Policy, Econ. plus much more.

They’re almost right - what kind of republican is it that won’t cave to the dems on every issue?
