Former GOP Michigan governor endorses Biden, calls Trump a 'bully'

Source: Politico

Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday, arguing the former vice president would “bring back civility” to the United States and work on “bringing Americans closer together.”

“He has shown the desire to heal a deeply divided nation; has demonstrated strong moral character and empathy; and he seems willing to listen to people who have different perspectives from his own,” Snyder, a Republican, wrote in an op-ed in USA Today.

Snyder, a former computer industry executive who memorably introduced himself to voters as “one tough nerd” during his first run for office, blasted President Donald Trump as a “bully” who refused to respect opposing points of view.

“Being strong is standing up for your convictions. Being a bully is trying to intimidate those who are perceived to be weaker or a threat,” Snyder wrote. “As a proud nerd, I had to deal with bullies over many years; it is tragedy watching our world suffer from one.”

taking no responsibility was a winning strategy. But even he thinks this has gone too far.

That word defines Trump, & the word is extremely important for 3 reasons:

A. Everyone knows what a ..."bully" is

B. The only people who like ..."bullies" are....other bullies.

C. That word defines Donald Trump perfectly...Yes, he is a true "bully"

Well known Republican calls Trump a..."bully" is important. That defines Trump to all..
