A former GOP county chairman and Ohio farmer said Monday he wouldn't vote for President Trump again even if the president walked on water.

Chris Gibbs, the former chairperson of the Shelby County Republican Party, told CNBC that he feels "dubious" about the Trump administration's announced agricultural buys from China amounting to $40 billion to $50 billion amid the heated trade war between Washington and Beijing that experts say has hit farmers particularly hard.

“He could come up with this $50 billion, he could walk across my pond and not get wet, and I’m still not going to vote for him because, you know, at the end of the day my name is Chris Gibbs, it’s not Judas, and I’m not going to sell my political moorings for 30 pieces of silver," Gibbs said.

The soybean and corn farmer voted for Trump in 2016 but said he's "out" from supporting Trump this time around.

1. Let's hope that more follow suit

and encourage their family, friends, and neighbors to do the same.

5. We can only hope.

They don't have to vote for the democrat if that upsets them less than voting for Trump, just leave the President bubble blank. But I hope that they at least listen and think seriously about what the democrat is saying. Hillary wouldn't have created the mess that they are in now, they need to think about that.

2. Not holding my breath for any of them to vote for a Democrat. Hopefully they just stay home.

3. One scary thing.......

is that it's taken almost 3 years for some people to realize the truth - IQ45 is a con man and cares ONLY about himself.

We tried to tell them............

4. What matters is that he voted for Trump the first time

That'd be like if he tell me he's never going to f**k a pig again.

6. People on DU have pointed it out.

25 years of lies about a good person and talk radio has fucked up lots of people. Some saw Trump as a successful business person because he said he was, they didn't care to look deeper because Fox News and rightwing talk radio that they listen to told them all they needed to know about Hillary.

7. He spouted racism from the first day he came down the escalator

If that wasn't their dealbreaker, then there's no helping them.

8. What I have seen with people is many don't see their own racism

or susceptibility to a racist dog-whistle campaign. I know that sounds freaking astounding and that too was my reaction when I first arrived at that conclusion watching people that I thought that I knew. They just compartmentalize shit in strange ways and see only what they want to see.

9. Maybe they don't think they're racists

but Trump's overt racism was not a dealbreaker for them, and for that they will be subject to my undying contempt.

10. I see where you are coming from. I can't trust such people either. nt

11. I agree.

Forever.

12. There is no way DT would be able to cross a pond without getting wet.

By polluting the water so bad it solidifies.
