I was a Republican governor of Pa. I’m voting for Joe Biden. (Tom Ridge)
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 09/27/2020 | Tom Ridge - Op Ed

Posted on 09/27/2020 5:35:02 AM PDT by Kid Shelleen

---SNIP--- I actually consider it a point of personal pride that I’m recognized for being among the first Republicans to reject Donald Trump. It was way back in December 2015. I told NBC’s Chuck Todd that day that I could never support Trump. I said then that he was an embarrassment to the Republican Party and our country. I said he belittles, demeans, and ridicules people who disagree with him, and that I’ve never thought that loud, obnoxious, and simpleminded solutions to complex problems are the kind of qualities we want in a president. I believe that earned me my first of several Trump tweets of indignation.

Poor Tom! President Trump hurts his feelings! F*** you Tom Ridge! You would rather have a nation destroying C\chief executive like obozo or Biden or Clinton? Fortunately no one gives a damn what TomRidge says. In fact, ninety-five percent of voters don’t even know who Tom Ridge is.

He was a Bush League Republicans who thought the job of Homeland Security was to keep the borders open and the laws unenforced.

Exactly - Biden has insulted and even cussed out voters to their face multiple times - once even suggested they go outside and fight.

This is the only Trump tweet I could find that even mentions Tom Ridge, from two months ago.

Guess Tom can't handle the truth :)

Bush League Republicans still control most of the apparatus of the party.

They are not on our side, they have spent 30 years importing a permanent Democrat majority.
Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio are still working on the amnesty to deliver that permanent majority to the Democrats.

“I said he belittles, demeans, and ridicules people who disagree with him, and that I’ve never thought that loud, obnoxious, and simpleminded solutions to complex problems are the kind of qualities we want in a president.”

Simpleminded solutions? Those are the best kind. If a person can come up with basic ways to take care of complex problems, he works for me as soon as I can get him employed. And the thinking that it takes complex answers to complex problems is creating more complex problems. And this is why Todd fails.

If you have a trade imbalance, balance it. If you have people illegally crossing the borders, build a wall. If you have illegals in the country, put them back. If people are unemployed, figure out how to create jobs, if you have one race that is having problems in employment, get them jobs.... The list is endless of things that need simplistic, not complex answers.

Here is a list of them:

The old kiss theory...keep it simple stupid. And when they are not kept simplistic, they remain a problem, many times worse. You tell me which works: Trumps way or the liberals way? Read the list and that answer is plain.
