Santorum gets frothy about how many people say they are voting against Trump.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/thats-a-big-number-cnns-santorum-stunned-by-volume-of-voters-admitting-theyre-showing-up-to-vote-against-trump/

On CNN Election Night, as the first exit poll results came in, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) expressed astonishment at one statistic: the nearly 1 in 3 Joe Biden voters who reported they were casting a vote against President Donald Trump, rather than in favor of their own candidate.

“I would make the argument that most decent Americans — and the vast majority of Americans are — don’t like to say they’re voting against someone,” said Santorum. “Like Republicans, only 14 percent say they are voting against Biden because they don’t want to go in there, I’m voting against somebody. The fact that 31 percent were willing to admit that they were voting against Donald Trump? That’s a big number!”


Notice how admitting to voting against Trump means you are not a "decent American," according to Ricky.

I am voting not only to elect my choice of leader, but also to punish and bring as much political harm as possible to the GOP/Trump cabal.

What has Trump done in the last four years to win over people that didn't vote for him? Has he listened to their concerns? Has he governed in a way that helps all citizens, or just his pals and cronies? Does he use the power of the federal government to help or to hurt people? Does he have any regard for citizens who can't write fat checks to his campaign?

You're surprised that slightly less than a third of voters are saying that they're voting against such a man? You should be highly gratified that the number isn't twice that, asshole.

I lived in MS when Kirk Fordice was governor and a LT Briggs and both of them were real pieces of crap. It was an honest privilege to vote against those bastards. Oh, and Hell yeah I voted against Trump, for Biden too, but against Trump.
