Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Marc Racicot said this week that he would that he will not vote for President Trump in November.
“I regret that I will cause consternation perhaps in some corners, but even as a Republican, I will not be supporting Donald Trump for president, and I will not be voting for him,” Racicot, who is also a former Republican governor of Montana, said during a Tuesday interview on Yellowstone Public Radio. “That means I will be voting for Joe Biden for president.”
Racicot did not provide details about why he was choosing to endorse the Democratic presidential nominee, according to the Missoulian newspaper.
“I’m not going to march lockstep with him every step of the way or with the administration. I’ll have disagreements, I’m certain,” Racicot said of Biden. “But the content of a man’s character or a woman’s character to serve in that capacity is more important than any other issue that I have to consider as a matter of conscience.”
The former governor, who previously served as the chairman of former President George W. Bush’s reelection campaign, said the presidency this year has threatened the American way of life. …

I’ve often thought about whom he called his “base” during the 2000 Al Smith dinner. Almost all of whom he described as the “haves and have-mores” are no conservatives, by far.
We’ve had so many execrable GOP “leaders” over the years. Trump has really done an incredible job flushing out those who were Demonrat Derp Staters. Racicot among them.
I did not even know who Marc Racist was.
One of President Trump’s greatest achievements has been to get these dishonest people to show how bad they really are.
Screw that...
I’m going to say it - Reagan biggest mistake is choosing George H. Walker Bush as his Vice President. It is still haunting us to this day! Every Bush bureaucrat to every Bush Rhino governor seemed to be traitors. They can’t even see what the democrats are doing to this country. All they see is Orange Man bad.
It’s always a red flag.
Never heard of him - my vote counts the same as his.
It’s true.
Does T stand for “Turdburglar”?
So true....
“Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you.”
Racicot? Who was he? Some RNC guy? Flush him down.

Marc He's-a-rat.
Shrub-bot. Kept waiting on him to take out Sen. Max Baucus and he kept refusing to run. Was RNC Chairman for less than 2 years during the 2002 midterms. Ordinarily you’d give credit to the chair for gains, but it was the infamous Paul Wellstone Funerally that so offended the nation and helped the GOP take back the Senate.
Indeed, Baucus was up that year and Racicot’s refusal to run saw the GOP put up a State Senator named Mike Taylor. His former business had been running a barber shop and the Demonrats had the nerve to run a homophobic-baiting campaign against him, “Gay Hairdressers for Mike Taylor”. If the GOP had tried that against a Democrat candidate, you’d have seen howls of outrage and the usual charges of homophobia. Not a peep of a complaint was heard.
Racicot then ran Shrub’s reelection campaign in 2004. It’s curious how he dismissed Kerry as “out of the mainstream”, and of course, Plugs is no more mainstream today (and indeed, 16 years on, even more radical). It was a subpar campaign that had Shrub win by just one state (Ohio) when he should’ve won by a landslide in more capable hands.
Other than for 2004, I hadn’t heard squat from Racicot in the 16 years since. Obviously, he prefers the Derp State to real reform.
Oh, as an aside, he was supposed to be AG under Shrub, but withdrew from contention due to “personal issues.” Makes one wonder what was hiding in his closet.
Every one of these people are just confirming what everyone knew... the establishment GOP are the same as the Democrats..
They think these statements hurt Trump but they don’t, they just confirm what everyone openly knew anyway.
“Marc spelled “Marc” is usually a bad sign.”
Yes. Marc Rich. Game show host Marc Summers....I guess he’s ok.
I think I recall his surname is pronounced RAS-co. Now it’s RAT-co
Possibly his people came from Vichy France.

Eh, I’ve seen a lot more guys named “Mark” than “Marc”, but it can go either way when it comes to whether they’re slimeballs or not.
Mark the Evangelist, who wrote the famous Gospel of Mark in the Bible
Mark Ruffalo, insane SJW actor who got his “fame” entirely from replacing Edward Norton as The Hulk in the Marvel movies.
Mark Kirk, useless faux “fiscal conservative” RINO ex-Senator from illinois
Mark Wahlberg, formerly known as Marky Mark, smug thug underwear model turned decent Catholic actor
Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker turned Joker
Mark Twain, who gave us Tom Sawyer & Huck Finn
Mark Anthony, ancient Roman politician and general
Marc Okrand, creator of the Klingon language
Marc Brown, original creator of the Arthur the Aardvark books (which apparently has gone SJW like everything else now, and has a character with “two gay dads”. Whether Brown approves of that, I don’t know)
Marc Singer, 80s B-actor and Kevin Bacon lookalike (can’t afford Bacon? Just get Marc Singer!)
Marc Angelucci, American lawyer and men’s rights activist
Marc Rich, billionaire fugitive Clinton pal
Marc Summers, I grew up watching him host Nickelodeon shows
Marc Anthony, modern day Puerto Rican-American singer-songwriter
Two “Marc’s” to have served in Congress. One was a Jewish Republican, Marc Lincoln Marks. Marks defeated a Dem incumbent in PA in 1976, but went squishy and quit in 1982. He went on the floor of the House to blast an increase in military spending by President Reagan (at the expensive of “the poor.”) Apparently ex-Gov. John Connally considered asking him to be his running mate during his ill-fated run in the GOP primary for President in 1980 (what is it with Connally and Reagan asking these establishment RINOs to be their running mates ? Marks, Dick Schweiker, Bush ?).
Marks was succeeded in his House seat by another RINO traitor, Tom Ridge. Marks later endorsed Bubba the Rapist for President in 1992 and two years later got a cushy gubmint sinecure as Commissioner of Federal Mine Safety.
The only other Marc is the present Demonrat Congressman from Texas, Marc Veasey. He’s Black.
Speaking of another weasel (this one by the name of Wayne)... remember Congressman Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland ? He was challenged for being a squish and lost renomination in 2008 to Andrew Harris. Completely flipped his $hit and endorsed the Demonrat (who won, but just one term before Harris came back and beat him and still holds the seat today) and also voted for Zero (after lying that he didn’t endorse him) and every Demonrat to run since. He at least isn’t claiming to be a Republican anymore, so the media can’t say, “Republican Congressman endorses Plugs.” Demonrat now, at least “officially” since 2019, but he already left the party with his defeat.
Curiously, both Ridge and Gilchrest were Marines, like Ridge, Gilchrest was big on infanticide, pushing hard to repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and for gay “marriage.” Makes one wonder if he wasn’t a closet-job. If he is, that means his district (MD-1) sent not one, not two, but THREE fags in a row (Bob Bauman, an up-and-coming Conservative Republican who managed to lose in 1980 to Dem Roy Dyson, who apparently was a closet job, and then Gilchrest, who beat Dyson a decade later). And to tie it all together, Marc Marks almost went down to defeat in 1980, winning by just a handful of votes and almost joining Bauman in the ranks of unemployed Congressmembers.
