Bowers said he'd vote for Trump again... Defies all logic.

'Bowers was one of five recipients of this year’s John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage award for his refusal to consider overturning the 2020 election results despite pressure from Trump and his supporters.

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.”

1. "Simply Because What He Did The First Time, Before Covid"

Up until the point he completely Fucked Up the Pandemic response, resulting in the unnecessary deaths of 100's of Thousands, and before he Incited An Insurrection and Attempted To Overthrow The Duly Elected Government, he was Great!

Even better, he isn't a Lib! GOTTA OWN THEM!!

[Samrob]

18. Please tell me what he did except give tax breaks to the rich. I guess that was enough for

the rich. l Oh, yeah, he made "hate thy neighbor and anybody else not like you" the MAGA platform.

[Norbert]

21. Like voting for Jefrey Dahmer because he had great relationships with young men before the murders

[jmbar2]

2. Unbelievable!

And this guy was all ethics and honor yesterday.

[Lovie777]

3. Never fails....

GQP always vote against themselves. Sad.

[Meadowoak]

4. Rusty Bowel probably got a huge tax cut.

[Peregrine Took]

14. That's what aI was thinking. n/t

[madaboutharry]

5. It really isn't a surprise.

Allegiance to a political party can be like devotion to a religion. And for a man who takes scripture as the word of God and was raised listening to authority, it isn't much of a stretch to see how they would be willing to vote for an authoritarian. Even one who tried to get him to break the law.

[FalloutShelter]

7. Exactly.

Until the GOP flushes the orange turd, they will all hedge their bets.

[KS Toronado]

6. "Simply because what he did .... before COVID,"

Only thing he did was pass a massive tax cut for the wealthiest among us.
Any President could do that with an R Congress, only thing they love.

[agingdem]

19. and about a year and a half of Trump's one term in office

was COVID...so before COVID Trump did great?...so separating families, babies in cages, the muslim ban, Charlottesville, Russian election interference, sucking up to despots, Ukraine coercion and extortion, shit hole countries, racism, antisemitism, Stormy Daniels, sexual assault, abandoning global treaties and agreements, inciting an insurrection, sedition, a coup...all ok, but fake electors...a bridge too far?...thank you for your one moment of conscience...now go away...

[KS Toronado]

22. reQublicOns must wear

horse blinders when viewing their fellow Rs

[elias7]

26. In a nutshell...

Thank you

[Polybius]

33. And over 100 federal judges and two Supreme Court Justices before Covid

That's huge for them.

[Raven123]

8. So the "divinely inspired " Constitution really isn't that important. Got it

[agingdem]

34. "Divinely inspired" so said Rusty Bower

well, Rusty, many of those "divinely inspired" framers of our Constitution were, in fact, slave owners...not very God-like I must say...

[Claustrum]

9. I think this is true for at least 90% republicans even the ones testifying against him for 1/6.

I praise them for doing the right thing on Jan 6 but I am sure most of them will not hesitate one bit to vote for TFG again knowing he broke the law in 2020. That's GoP for you. Moral superior /eyeroll

[MiniMe]

10. He is looking at his portfolio

tRump was good for the stock market. I can say my investments went way up under tRump, I'd give it all up to have him not be President.

[BannonsLiver]

24. I think he's looking at a cemetery and hoping to stay out of it for as long as possible.

A lot of Dump supporters are violent maniacs.

[Zambero]

11. Oh yeah, GREAT. Let's see...

Was it the praising of neo-Nazis at Charlottesville, or kissing Putin's ass in Helsinki?
Attempting to disengage millions from their health care insurance, perhaps?
The non-stop lies and deceit?

[Hotler]

13. Eat shit Rusty. I bet you were just fine with protestors and video screen trucks,

and noise outside the houses of Democratic members. With the orange one gone you fuckers have had to hit pause on the hate for Democrats and Liberals. Is that what you miss Rusty?

[Bucky]

15. Oh Keee-ryst these people

I guess this means he's running for reelection.

[halfulglas]

16. The Goons broke into his widowed daughter-in-law's house!!

I'm flabbergasted. This guy must have forgotten the safe word or something. He loves getting punished. This is not a one-off event. He knows the guy he voted for has not only no moral compass and is power hungry, yet he would willingly vote for him again if he is his party's nominee. Trump is ultimately responsible for the deaths at the Capitol. He casually ruined the lives of numerous election workers to make them look criminal. There is something toxic not just in the party, but in its members who cannot say they were wrong to elect the man and wrong to vote for him again, and definitely wrong to vote for him in the future.

[Vinca]

17. I'd love to quiz Mr. Holier-Than-Thou Bowers about Trump and Stormy Daniels. Or maybe

Trump and allegations of connections to organized crime and money laundering in Atlantic City. Or Trump importing workers to do his building projects and then stiffing them. Or Trump soliciting donations from average-income people to pay his son's lap dancer girlfriend $60,000 for 2 minutes of bullshit. Or Trump being barred from having a charity because he bought portraits of himself to hang in his golf course. Trump has never been good for anything, most especially this country (never thought I'd see a bunch of mindless dimwits in Trump hats attack the seat of our democracy).

[GoodRaisin]

20. Then he's voting party over a candidate he can't possibly believe is "divinely inspired".

Trying to have it both ways and it doesn’t work.

[fightforfreedom]

23. I will vote for a crook if he gives me what I want.

I will not commit crimes for him. That's Bowers in a nut shell. Republicans are extreme hypocrites.

[empedocles]

25. Might make him a more credible witness on the conservative side

[Arazi]

27. "I won't lie for this criminal but I'll vote for the criminal so he can crime some more"

[emulatorloo]

28. Basic Rule: MOST REPUBLICANS WOULD RATHER DIE THAN VOTE FOR A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT

I do not understand why this is so shocking at DU. They have been programmed to believe Democrats are satanic socialists.

[JuJuChen]

29. he also said the constitution was divinely inspiried

guy's got his priorities out of whack

[bluestarone]

30. Gotta be something HUGE in his closet

Only thing i can think of?

[Initech]

31. It's Stockholm Syndrome - he's fallen for his kidnappers, all right.

[Ritabert]

32. He's a member of the LDS church

...which probably explains it.
