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.

“Simple minded solutions to complex problems”. In other words you simple minded people out there cannot deal with today’s problems. It takes someone with “my” superior intelligence to solve things. What a slap in the face to the average Joe voter. Ridge and his ilk can go pound sand.

“Bush’s bitch.”

Perfect. That’s the way Ridge should be known for ever after.

Ridge's biggest accomplishment was the color coded terror warning.

Total loser.

These are the same pukes that gave us McStain and Mittens for candidates, and said for the good of the GOP, we must vote for them. But when they don’t have their candidates, they act like whining children.

Trump does two significant things as President:

1. Sign bills passed by Congress
2. Appoint Supreme Court justices

Any idiot can affix a signature.

Trump has and will do a better job than Biden when it comes to Supreme Court appointments.

The new name for the new party should be The Trump Party.

Anyone who ever called themselves Republican and votes for a left-leaning Democrat can no longer be called R. They’ve jumped the shark, never again having credibility in anything they do or say. Bye bye, Loser Ridge.

Look at one of his commercials, Biden can’t even wear a mask properly.

Don’t think they get it political lackeys like Ridge are why Trump won come to think of it like the mailmans son in Ohio I honestly don’t think Ridge could beat Trump in Pennsylvania if they ran head to head

Another complete fraud exposed by Trump. He is the reason we have democrat governors in PA. Useless almost just like Corbett was.

Donald Trump...was an embarrassment to the Republican Party and our country.

Hey Tom, that's a great reason to allow the Marxists to take over our country and establish their version of the Thousand Year Reich.

Why do these people think we care who they are going to vote for?

I think people who vote for Biden don’t care who they are voting for as long as it’s not Trump.

Agreed. It would make a difference if they said they would write in another candidate, or vote for a third party candidate, but to say they are going to vote for the dem candidate reeks of hypocrisy.

Hi.

Among the many accomplishments of president Trump, unmasking rinos is at the top.
