Gowdy to endorse Rubio: report
TheHill ^ | 12/26/15 | Bradford Richardson

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) is expected to endorse Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for president when he campaigns with him in Iowa next week, Townhall.com reported Saturday.

The influential South Carolina lawmaker will attend town hall rallies on Tuesday and Wednesday during Rubio’s three-day tour through the important caucus state, the Rubio campaign said in a press release Saturday.

"Marco is a rock solid conservative and a strong leader we can trust,” Gowdy said in an accompanying statement. “I look forward to campaigning in Iowa with him, and introducing my good friend to voters across the state."

A Rubio campaign aide told CNN that Gowdy will offer Rubio his "full support," but stopped short of saying it will be an official endorsement for president.

Gowdy will make appearances at town halls in Clinton, Sioux City, Pella, North Newton and Boone.

The three term representative is best known for leading the House investigation into the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, in which he presided over testimony from former secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Gowdy introduced Rubio at several events in his early-voting home state last weekend.

He has also co-hosted town halls in South Carolina with Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), which were attended by Republican primary candidates Ben Carson an...

Gowdy Doody, his friendship with Rep. Luis Gutierrez is deeper than many thought. He is best known for holding hearings that do nothing except allow the minority representative to lie about Hillary’s accomplishments on national TV.

Not a recent comment? Gowdy fooled just about everyone. No? Did you feel the same about Gowdy 6 months ago as you do now?

Trump is also learning about the well connected in D.C. The corruption in that town surprises even the most pessimistic.

Trey comes out the Rino closet.

Guess we all know why "the investigations" went no where.

Dog and pony show Trey.

Disappointed in him, thought he was for real at one time, but facts are facts.

Most thought Gowdy was great until more recent events. Do you have any recent comments from Trump regarding Gowdy?

Thanks!

Trump on Twitter:
“@TGowdySC for Attorney General under President Trump”

Was it a formal offer, no of course not. But yes, DJT said it himself. It’s not just rumor.
********************************************************************************
Trump or Cruz should just move the staff at Judicial Watch, lock, stock and barrel to take over DOJ and actually restore Justice in the US.

He’s an 80% on the Heritage scoreboard. Not great, but better than many. With better leadership (Paul/McConnell), guys like him can be persuaded to clean up their act. We’re not gonna replace every Republican who is around 80% conservative. His biggest weakness seems to be spending money, so he’s likely trading votes for pork. SOP until we fix leadership and the White House.

Trey hasn’t begun to undo any messes in his current role.

And Cruz-Rubio would be an unfortunate, tellingly sell-out, ticket.

The beltway is like the Borg mothership.
Trey Gowdy: "Marco is a rock solid conservative and a strong leader we can trust"

I catch your reference to the Borg. Any man that puts Marco (Rubio) and "we can trust" in the same sentence has definitely been 'assimilated' by the Washington Cartel. This is really disturbing. Gowdy is throwing away his integrity in the eyes of knowledgeable SC voters.

Yes. He never held Hillary accountable for Benghazi. That’s when it became obvious.

Last I know of is from Oct on the Hannity show. Said he was disappointed that Gowdy pivoted away from Hillary after McCarthy stuck his foot in his mouth.

Gowdy also announced he would be pissing into the wind as part of his strategy of engaging in futile acts.

Rubio is a rock solid conservative except...

His Amnesty would turn over the entirety of the government permanently to the Democrats. It does not matter what are the beliefs one holds if one also means to do Amnesty. Amnesty trumps everything else because if it happens everything conservative simply is irrelevant.

Chalk up another 100% dead accurate call on a GOP leftist for Steve and I.Oh but that’s right... People like us have no idea what we’re talking about despite being right on calling every major bit of liberal action the GOP leftists pull.

And we are supposed to shut up about it so as not to remind anyone of the helacious screw up they made in demanding these backstabbing, America-hating liberals.
