Gowdy to endorse Rubio: report
TheHill ^ | 12/26/15 | Bradford Richardson

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) is expected to endorse Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for president when he campaigns with him in Iowa next week, Townhall.com reported Saturday.

The influential South Carolina lawmaker will attend town hall rallies on Tuesday and Wednesday during Rubio’s three-day tour through the important caucus state, the Rubio campaign said in a press release Saturday.

"Marco is a rock solid conservative and a strong leader we can trust,” Gowdy said in an accompanying statement. “I look forward to campaigning in Iowa with him, and introducing my good friend to voters across the state."

A Rubio campaign aide told CNN that Gowdy will offer Rubio his "full support," but stopped short of saying it will be an official endorsement for president.

Gowdy will make appearances at town halls in Clinton, Sioux City, Pella, North Newton and Boone.

The three term representative is best known for leading the House investigation into the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, in which he presided over testimony from former secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Gowdy introduced Rubio at several events in his early-voting home state last weekend.

He has also co-hosted town halls in South Carolina with Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), which were attended by Republican primary candidates Ben Carson an...

“Gowdy also announced he would be pissing into the wind”

I think you just nailed the GOP-e’s signature convention song next fall FRiend!

Jerry Jeff Walker

Chorus:
Pissin’ in the wind, bettin’ on a losing friend
Makin’ the same mistakes, we swore we’d never make again
And we’re pissin’ in the wind, but it’s blowing on all our friends
We’re gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

About the time I called this Guy it was four in the morning
Teach me the words to the song I was humming

He just laughed and he said that the ole grey cat is sneakin’ down the hall
But all he wants to know is who in the hell is paying for the call

Chorus

Now this Nunn called me up, it was eight in the morning
Wanted to know how in the world am I doin’
He just laughed and he said get together boy, and fall on by the house
Some Gonzo buddies would like to play anything your’s picking now

Chorus

Now we worked and we suffered and struggled
Makin’ our record till we got it right
Now we’re waiting on the check to come sneaking down the hall
Like that old time feeling
That we never should have ever put the record out at all

Chorus

That the answer my friend is just pissin’ in the wind
The answer is pissin’ in the sink

Alas! Trey attempting to play his TRUMP card on a losing hand? His fan club, and he does have them, will be scratching their heads over this. Those pod people work so fast - how did Kevin McCarthy manage to save the world? Only by accident.

“The influential South Carolina lawmaker...”

Not anymore. The local talk show hosts are ripping him to shreds, and the traitor refuses to show his a$$ and answer questions. Trey is dog meat.

It is evident with the latest Ryan fiasco, the Repub candidates and GOPe promise to take out Trump instead of Hillary, and now Gowdy endorsement of Rubio where Congress and the GOPe are with the American people....against us.

Disappointing. But I’d rather he fly his colors now than wait until he’s AG or sitting on the SCOTUS. He’s finished in nat’l politics.
