?Hero? Rusty Bowers Says He Would Vote for Trump Again

[kpete]

But while Bowers said the efforts by Giuliani and other Trump backers have been hurtful, he does not levy any criticism on Trump directly and would support him if he were on the ballot.

“If he is the nominee, if he was up against Biden, I’d vote for him again,” Bowers said. “Simply because what he did the first time, before COVID, was so good for the county. In my view it was great.”

2. my first thought was the beaten spouse syndrome

Sure the spouse beats the other spouse, but they stay anyway even when their lives are on danger.

8. My feelings exactly.

They are hung up on some ideal (which was never reality) and they glorify “the way it used to be” in their own mind based on that false perception. Hard to let go of that, no matter what your rational mind tells you, based on facts. Bowers and others are no different than battered spouses.

3. "In my view it was great".

Well, with your head up your ass the view is always the same. He must love staring at his own colon.

4. But rusty, he shat on your 'divine' constitution.

once a thug....

5. The fact he chose not to expose himself

To legal jeopardy does not make him a “hero.”

6. Most Republicans would rather die than vote for a democrat. This is not a surprise.

Fox News and their preachers have told them Dems are satanic.

I’m very glad he stood up to Trump when it counted. In the meantime I’m not too surprised when he (and others) say they would vote for Trump over a Democrat if it came down to it.

9. Makes sense. Most democratic supporters would vote for a democratic politician

over trump, cruz, DeSantis and all other republicans.

7. Shame!

10. Well, he could easily get a gig at Farmers Insurance.

11. What Exactly Did TFG Do Before COVID That Was So Good For The Country?......

In Rusty's view it was great. Huh? What did he do that was so great?

Make Rusty tell us.

12. Whether he would vote for Trump again ...

... is of no consequence.

As Kellyanne Conway said after the Trump campaign levied an accusation at HRC that was immediately debunked, "It doesn't matter, because the damage has already been done."

So it is with Bowers and his ilk. It doesn't matter what they say about Trump after their testimony is a matter of public record - "because the damage has already been done."

Once heard, the bell can't be unrung.

13. Raffensperger never said Biden won..

he said Trump came up short..when a Republican has a momentary glint of conscience and does what he's paid to do, he's not a hero...Bowers, Raffensperger and Pence all drink from the same poisoned chalice...

[Justice matters.]

14. Yep, and if his orange fascist steals 2024... Bowers should get his will

ready.

Some idiot Christofascists never learn.

15. Don't try to impress me with all your oath crap and then

Vote for a traitor.

16. My sentiments exactly!
