Former GOP lawmakers on endorsing Biden: Trump is no Republican, 'lacks basic self-control'
The Hill ^ | Sept 26, 2020 | Morgan Gstalter

Posted on 09/26/2020 2:17:47 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

Two former Republican lawmakers wrote an op-ed on Friday explaining why they are supporting Democrat Joe Biden instead of President Trump in November, arguing Trump is "an ill-formed man who lacks basic self-control and shows no semblance of inner character."

Former Reps. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii) and Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.) in an opinion for Roll Call condemned Trump's "childish name-calling, crude behavior and immature narcissism."....

Djou and Edwards said the Democratic presidential candidate is "not a perfect man, but he is a man of humble decency."

“Lacks basic self control????”

President Trump has more discipline in his little toe than these two jokers combined.

How in the world do you think he had accomplished what he has accomplished even when faced with such vitriol and opposition?

A man that has mingled with the richest hedonists, kings, and dictators of the world, and still has avoided succumbing to drinking or drug use has superb self-control.

What was that famous quote by Bill Clinton? “Yes, I smoked a joint, but I didn’t inhale? There was a man with little self control.

Yes better to hand the Presidency to a Dementia patient then someone who sends out tweets you don’t like.

Trump is not a Republican?? Great news, since I'm no longer a Republican, since Republicans are the right of center wing of the Democrats...

President Donald J Trump should start the AmericaFirst Party with the Eagle 🦅 as the symbol! 😀

Does Biden have control? Is he civil? Who would he put on the Court?

So when did these two clowns earn their first billion?

Selling influence to the highest bidder would be the only way.

So where are those offshore bank accounts located, gentleman and how much do you have and who funded them?

As far as Biden being of humble decency give me a break

Have you bastards ever heard of Burisma?

Or the attempted coup in January 2017?

You were bought and sold by the enemies of this nation

Former members of the do-nothing Republicans, except when it comes to caving for Democrat demands. How can I tell? No one ever heard of them.

That's okay. I'm not a Republican, either.

As far as anyone knows, Trump doesn't sniff children or prance naked in front of female Secret Service agents.

Well, Trump accomplished more than the Romney’s and McCains ever dreamed of. I’ll take Trump’s way of doing political things, thank you.

Some of these so called by name only Republicans have so much basic self-control, at least that’s what they claim they have; what turns them into linguine spine RINOS. In this case I take Trump anytime. At least with Trump you get what you see and he does what he says. On the other hand RINOS will tell you one thing and then go along with the left.

My, my. Tut tut. That Trump chap is so teddibly, teddibly uncouth! He doesn't even have the manners of a binman. He is just so unlike us lace curtain Republicans. I voted for Hillary, rather than risk soiling my vote on a hoi polloi Republican.

“...”childish name-calling,”


But Hiden’ Biden’s calling Trump ‘Goebbels’ and ‘more like Castro than Churchill’ is perfectly O.K.

A dishonest article. Neither of these two are Republicans.

Mickey Edwards ? He hasn’t endorsed a Republican in years. He became a Demonrat by all accounts when he endorsed Zero in 2008.

Charles Djou threw a temper-tantrum when he failed to win reelection in Hawaii and decided that Trump was the bane of his existence and left the GOP.

In October 2019, Djou said, “It would be fair to say that I’m an independent Democratic” — From Wikipedia
