Geoff Duncan: Why I’m voting for Biden and other Republicans should, too
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^

Posted on 05/07/2024 5:47:52 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

It’s disappointing to watch an increasing number of Republicans fall in line behind former president Donald Trump. This includes some of his fiercest detractors, such as U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, who raised eyebrows during a recent interview by vowing to support the “Republican ticket.”

This mentality is dead wrong.

Yes, elections are a binary choice. Yes, serious questions linger about President Biden’s ability to serve until the age of 86. His progressive policies aren’t to conservatives’ liking.

But the GOP will never rebuild until we move on from the Trump era, leaving conservative (but not angry) Republicans like me no choice but to pull the lever for Biden. At the same time, we should work to elect GOP congressional majorities to block his second-term legislative agenda and provide a check and balance.

Any Republican that supports Biden is a disturbed fraud.

Severe TDS. Elections are not binary. You can write in a name or not vote altogether....but this guy is announcing he is voting for a corrupt racist pedo senile DC lifer who has done nothing , from a conservatives point of view, that could possibly be viewed as accomplishments. In fact the consensus is Bidens policies have destroyed the economy, our borders, our law and order and our global reputation. Yet here Geoff is taking out op eds to explain his lapse of common sense.

The TDS is strong with this one... “Vote for everything we hate as Republicans because of mean tweets...”

God help us...

Cocaine in the White House, topless trannies on the White House lawn and gay porno in the Senate chambers. Remember decency is on the ballot.

THIS IS WHY TRUMP SHOULD FORM A MAGA PARTY!!!

The current feckess GOP only has about 35 million member.. Trump got 80 million (legitimate) votes.

How many of those would remain ‘faithful’ to the nutless wonders running the GOP?

It would not be a 3rd party-spoiler- it would instantly be the BIGGEST party, because even some of the democrats would join- after seeing how insane their party has become.

What has he done?

There is no virtue in casting a vote for Joe Biden, the very apotheosis of political corruption and chicanery. He has rarely said what he means, and cannot mean what he says, as he has no logical, moral or factual basis for most of it.

There is, in fact, far more than a merely binary choice for Presidential preference. So you do not like Trump? There is Bobby Kennedy Junior, there is Jill Stein, there is Cornel West, any or all of which maintain a much higher profile than Joe Biden for both competence and articulation of their positions.

But as to overcoming the visceral aversion that a certain minority of persons who style themselves as “Republicans” hold for Donald Trump, you might as well hate the storm clouds of violent weather, as he is as much a force of nature as an August hurricane.

Not saying that either party or candidate is perfect, but anyone who is alive has some memory of what the Democrats have been doing the last few years & knows that some kind of change is drastically needed if America is to survive.

A huge fraction of RINOs are Deep State Socialists.

Took too many beanballs.

Perhaps, but he along with a few other high-ranking GA officials who served during the corrupted 2020 presidential election almost certainly fear a second Trump presidency.

I keep asking why this political party still exists. And guess what? The never Trumpers are the first ones to bitch about Trump and the first ones to clam up when confronted with the cancerous Rino problem in the GOP that they do nothing about.

Jerks. All of them. They deserve the betrayal these Uni Party Rinos are always ready to bestow.

Yeah. Because that’s worked so well.

Who is Geoff Duncan? If Trump don't get ELECTED, the Marxists won. The GOP is being rebuilt..by Trump...
