Hutchinson says decision not to endorse Trump ‘costly and difficult’
The Hill ^ | 03/18/2024 | ELIZABETH CRISP

Posted on 03/18/2024 9:02:37 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who ran for the GOP presidential nomination this year, says he won’t back former President Trump in 2024, but also won’t vote for President Biden.

“I get asked a lot if I believe Trump is a threat to our democracy,” he writes in a USA Today op-ed. “I am not good at predicting the future, but we can learn from history and we should take heed when politicians tell us what they are going to do.”

Hutchinson says in the piece that he voted for Trump twice, but that insight gleaned from former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) and the Department of Justice on the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol changed his mind.

“In terms of history, we all witnessed the violent attack on our national Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, by those wishing to overturn the last election,” he writes. “This was not an act of patriots as Trump likes to say, but it was a real threat to democracy.”

He’s not only an idiot, Hutchinson is a nobody. His view will carry with no one outside his own family, and maybe not with them.

He is an idiot. But he is also a has-been. He will never win an honest election the rest of his life. “The Hill” gets an idiotic quote from him and he gets 15 seconds of recognition as people pass by the headline without reading the article.

So sad, Asa. Recognize your irrelevance and go away.

I knew some smart-ass, arrogant, lazy, left leaning jerks in high school. One was named, appropriately, Todd. I guess this is what Asa was like as a kid.

Following the people who violated the public trust, withheld evidence and lied to the people, destroyed evidence for political purposes, all while employed by the public. Wow, just wow.

Every single one of these guys LIED when they proclaimed they would support whoever the nominee was.

LIARS

Which is exactly why we are not supporting them to being with and instead support Trump. Because they are LIARS! They always have done this. LIE to get nomination, and then pivot.

BYE.

I just changed my ‘will never vote for Cornyn’ retort this morning. I was reading Rick Scarborough’s book and he talks about government by majority. Well, majority matters as we all know. Sometimes we don’t like our candidates/officials but if we hold them accountable for their votes when we are majority, majority matters.
I have not called or e-mailed Cornyn on all issues sadly. I have told him I would never vote for him again on the e-mails and calls/voice mails when he jeopardizes our safety and liberty on voting with liberal agendas.

May voters and office holders wake up NOW to what they are doing to God, Family and Country. Don’t destroy what God has blessed USA/TEXAS with His will, not man’s will.

Has been and always will be a class a dipshit...even in high school, college, and law school. Always wanted to be a hero cop or soldier, but too much of a pussy. The only way he could get close is being an attorney. He LOVED to hob nob around DARC and CJTR during the Winston P Wilson matches.
