#WALKAWAY: GOP ex-Governor of Pennsylvania and Secretary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, endorses Joe Biden

Thanks for keeping us updated on who is deep state...

You should make a list of all the deep state people who have publicly cake out to support the new world order

Deep State is showing again

Deep State is showing again

I was a Republican governor of Pa. I’m voting for Joe Biden.

I will cast my vote for Joe Biden on Nov. 3. It will be my first vote for a Democratic candidate for president of the United States. But it is not the first time I have said “no” :bronson: to Donald Trump. I urge my fellow Pennsylvanians to join me.

So here we are in 2020. :2020: And do we ever have complex problems that demand thoughtful, intelligent leadership. We are getting none of it. I cannot help but compare our current situation dealing with a global health pandemic to my time leading the Department of Homeland Security following the 9/11 terror attacks. There are many similarities to our national response. Those similarities, however, do not include presidential leadership.

Donald Trump has proven over these last four years he is incapable of such leadership. It is not within him. He lacks the empathy, integrity, intellect and maturity to lead. He sows division along political, racial and religious lines. And he routinely dismisses the opinions of experts who know far more about the subject at hand than he does – intelligence, military, and public health. Our country has paid dearly in lives lost, social unrest, economic hardship and our standing in the world.

With just about one month until Election Day, President Trump continues to claim the only way he can possibly be defeated is a rigged election. Can you imagine the hubris? Can you imagine any other president in our lifetime — or ever — saying something so dangerous and un-American? We are in the midst of a health crisis, when we should be doing all we can to help citizens vote safely, yet he continues to cast doubt on the sanctity of the vote. He’s done so multiple times here in Pennsylvania. It’s deplorable, yet utterly consistent with past reprehensible behavior.

Whether the Republican Party can restore itself or not, I don’t know. Whether it wants to or not, I don’t know that either. But what matters to me is that the core group of conservative principles I held as a young man when I cast my first vote decades ago are with me today. They are the same principles exhorted by my party’s forebears -- Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. Those principles have been indispensible to me in deciding to extend my hand of support to Joe Biden, who I believe absolutely must be America’s next president.

Pennsylvania voters, along with voters in Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida, are likely to ultimately determine the next president. So much is at stake. For me, voting is not just a privilege, but a responsibility. And this year, I believe the responsible vote is for Joe Biden. It’s a vote for decency. A vote for the rule of law. And a vote for honest and earnest leadership. It’s time to put country over party. It’s time to dismiss Donald Trump.

LOL...when all logic fails, try the "DEEP STATE!" explainer again.

Ridge is a fine man, excellent leader. If Trump loses Ridge, there is no hope for him. Dozens of DJT's most senior enablers will pull the curtain and vote with Ridge.

Ridge didn't endorse Trump in 2016 either. How did that work out.

Not well. Look at the state of America right now.

The thread sliding and overtaking tactic of the paid anti-american shills is really transparent on GLP now.

Good example here in this thread.

Not sure what your point is. This is a valid thread.
