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

---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.

He is a pro-abortion RINO who supported losers in the 2012 (Huntsman) and 2016 (Jeb then Kasich) Presidential elections. Why would he want to break his streak of supporting losers now?

Quit saying this: “Trump has exposed the GOP as corrupt...”

No. The grass roots of the GOP has led Trump into exposing the GOP elite, exposing the fact that it does not represent the real GOP, the grass roots of the party.

The GOP elite keep leaving the GOP, either as we do not reelect them, or when out of office they expose themselves as the traitors to the party that they are. We, the base of the party keep pushing the party in our direction, as when we elected Trump.

We and Trump ARE the real GOP.

What moron would compare Trump to Castro? That moron would be Joe Biden. There’s no lie or smear he won’t use. We shouldn’t underestimate his ability to do that. Biden should be flamed and often.

You're so vain
You probably think this tweet is about you
You're so vain (you're so vain)
I'll bet you think this tweet is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

Relax, Tom. Most people need to do a Google search just to remember who you were.

And look at all Trump has accomplished...

A lot of what Trump has accomplished are conservative goals that the Republican Party never wanted anything to do with.

A vote for Harris/Biden is a vote for national suicide.

He was Bush’s first DHS head.

The first United States Secretary of Homeland Security from 2003 to 2005

Hmm.

What’s laughable about these never-Trump, deep state jack-offs is not only that they have such absurd opinions, but, to a man, their egos are so wildly inflated that they think their worthless pronouncements mean anything to anyone, anywhere.

Tom Ridge is a worthless drop of nothing, flying into the face of a pro-Trump volcano who thinks HE’S going to be the one to bring our great President down - because, you know, he really knows better than us.

When you get to shake hands with John McCain someday, there*, Tom, you can both congratulate yourselves.

* Just be sure to wear an oven mitt. It’s hot down there.

All those “gentlemen republicans” were marching the Republican party right over the cliff.

The shocking thing is: THEY, Ridge, Whitman, McCain, Romney, aren’t even smart enough to know it.
