The Republican executive of a company that manufactures medical masks said Tuesday that he will vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, due to President Donald Trumps politicized response to the coronavirus crisis.
Mike Bowen ― executive vice president of Texas-based Prestige Ameritech, the largest producer of N95 masks and respirators in the U.S. ― said in a statement to HuffPost that Trumps handling of the pandemic has greatly increased death and suffering in America.
President Trump downplayed the virus, missed opportunities, and wasted precious time, Bowen said in his statement. He has also politicized the wearing of masks. ... The man has politicized a life-saving medical device and has teased people for wearing it!
Mr. Trump is a self-proclaimed genius who prefers his own magical thinking to the advice of experts and scientists, Bowen continued, adding: The next time that there is a scientifically minded Republican presidential candidate, I will vote for her or him. This time, however, there is only one scientifically minded person in the race. That person is Joe Biden.

One grandmother had pictures of Eisenhower all over the house, and teared up every time she thought of my father in WWII (no-- he didn't die in the war, but saw serious action)
The other grandmother ran for Congress as a Republican, but a Lincoln Republican and fought all her life for civil rights. She was proud that her house in Maryland was rumored to have been part of the Underground Railroad, and showed the suspected hiding place.
Newt Gingrich-- I hope you are burning in the hottest part of hell for the Republican party you left us with.
