This swing state Republican keeps distancing himself from Trump. It may not save him in the midterms

YARDLEY, Pa. (AP) — Mary Ryan may be a registered Republican but she has never voted for President Donald Trump, turned off by his crass style of politics and chaotic approach to governing.
But the 60-year-old medical writer from the Philadelphia suburbs has consistently backed her party’s congressman, five-term Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick.

Until now.

This year, Ryan is so fed up with Trump and his grip on Congress that she is planning to vote in November for Fitzpatrick’s Democratic opponent in the 1st Congressional District, Bob Harvie, a twice countywide elected commissioner who is a former social studies teacher.

I dont care about just this one guy. I'm concerned about others that are afraid to go public and the voters that they represent.

Man I hope that you’re right with that. CNN did do a poll just a couple of days ago that was very pro GOP. Me..I’m nervous. Really nervous.

Messaging from the Left-leaning AssPress and its Left-leaning writer ----

Some "Republican" who never voted for President Trump is going to vote the Democrat ticket. And the message? "So can you....."

Stuff it, AP. Not "fed up" with President Trump. Not a bit, but especially when it comes to "Republicans" who vote "Democrat."

Case in point, which I also posted to another thread, lest we forget.

I particularly like the part about Trump’s grip on Congress. Some grip, they obstruct & disrespect him at every turn.

Trump and MAGA hatred never gets old with sell out members of the press. They live to hate the unknown - bigots.

I would like to see Fetterman get elected as a Democrat...and the day after taking office...switch to Independent.

His wife is a long time Dem activist. But his parents are life long Republicans....so neither should be "Hurt".

Ryan is a deadbeat dem who runs as a Republican because the dems consider her as a freebie. They don’t have to give her money to run for office if they have it to give so she runs as a Republican for financial backing and votes as a dem.

A half century ago when I lived in Broomall Delco (about ten miles from Philly), the Main Line Republicans were as country club as possible, and the Dems were all working class union people who liked Hubert Humphrey, except for the up and coming McGovernites who would eventually become the communofascists running the party in 30 years.

Trump to the country clubbers is like Andrew Jackson on steroids, and more than anything about his policies, they hate his lack of what they perceive as statesmanship, meaning being assistant Democrats with big words.
