An intelligent Republican

I don't have an issue with conservatives or Republicans who are intelligent and know how to do their own research to find out the truth. This Trump voter actually read both the Mueller report and the Senate report. He doesn't listen to cable news. Instead, he pays close attention to Trump when he speaks. I wish more Trump supporters would do the same. This man doesn't fear truth and seeks it out.

This isn't an ad. Trump voters were invited to give testimonials about why they know longer support him and will vote for Biden.

I listened to quite a few of these, but this man moved me probably because I can feel his pain as he speaks.

What's BS is "horrendous riots, burning cities and total anarchy in the streets." This is only happening in isolated locations, and it's exactly what rump and his lackeys want. An excuse to point fingers while he's the one benefiting from the unrest. And people should be up in arms about this degenerate, anti-intellectual buffoon pretending to be a leader. It's disgusting, it's horrible, it's wrong, and we all should see that like the sun coming up in the morning. Obvious to anyone with a modicum of thought going on.

Intelligence is one thing. What about honesty, loyalty, and leadership experience??

Any evil plotting villian can be "clever" and "intelligent".

Agreed. So many people who claim to not support Trump or MAGA show how easily they buy into Trump's rhetoric. It seems like it's the people who say "I'm not a Trump supporter!" the loudest always end up going full MAGA. That's how it went for kspkap.

"...this could easily be ANYONE speaking about ANY President."

I disagree. No other president - democrat or republican - has done more to harm the U.S..

Trump's mismanagement of covonavirus which has lead to the deaths of 200,000 fellow Americans, destruction of our economy, record unemployment, ruining our alliances, insulting our military troops and condoning Putin's bounty on their lives, pathological lying, destroying the reputation and standing of the presidency and our county's reputation globally, dividing the American people, putting children in cages, attacking our institutions, inciting violence which has lead to deaths, etc.

"NO mentions of the horrendous riots, burning cities and total anarchy in the streets."

I've had several marches pass by the front of my home and they're common where I work. All have been very peaceful.

I've turn on Fox now and then and they're SCREAMING about Armageddon happening in the cities with exaggerated footage, imagery, etc. Trump can't run on his record because he hasn't accomplished anything and the economy is a wreck. Lies about Biden haven't worked so the only thing left is to pretend "horrendous riots, burning cities and total anarchy in the streets". That's just not happening.

There has been an uptick in crime, but I'm convinced that has more to do with allowing criminals out of prison early because of covid and bail reform. Another issue is that court cases have been heavily delayed because of shutdown - also because of covid.

I don't know where you live, but I suggest you turn off the "news" and learn the TRUTH for yourself. If you can't visit a city or know someone who lives there to discuss what's really going on, then just watch the different live cameras which are available.

Times Square in NYC. Nothing burning. No riots. See how quiet and... boring.

The Mueller investigation was destined to be flawed...from the very beginning. Rosenstein initiated it and designed it to be flawed. No matter what Mueller discovered, it could never be useful because of the flaws in how Rosenstein started it.

I contend that was intentional on Rosenstein's part. He was not a traitor to Trump, he was being shrewd. The Republicans 'in the know' KNEW of the flaws and how those flaws would make the investigation all but useless against Trump and his campaign. And THAT is why Trump never fired Rosenstein and Sessions never stopped it, Trump et al were 'let in on' the secret that the investigation would nab a few small time crooks who, if he wanted to, Trump could simply pardon and was otherwise a sham investigation...a facade to occupy the press and the Dems even though it was going no where.

Have you actually read the Mueller Report?

Mueller clearly states that there was Russian interference and Trump's campaign was involved. The bipartisan Senate Report reiterates that.

"The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion."

"The investigation also identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign."

Yes, I'm glad he and the others like him have the courage to step up and speak out against the most evil President in history. But intelligence isn't necessarily the issue. The problem with Trump and those that follow him isn't lack of intelligence. Yes, they do have a lack of intellect, but it's really incidental. I mean many Nazis had college degrees (though Hitler himself of course didn't). The issue is lack of morality and ethics, and preaching of hate and division. That's why Trump will lose.

Very true. Thanks for pointing that out.
