Lifelong Republican Jim Sullivan, 54, twice hesitantly backed Donald Trump – but the court’s verdict has changed his mind, he says:
I’m not a big Trump fan and I’m not a lawyer, but – based on what I was reading – this seemed like a very clumsy case. It basically ensures that Trump, unless he goes to jail, is going to win re-election now.
I feel like the jury was led to a foregone conclusion. And I do think this judge has a bias. This was politically motivated. What stood out to me was how they really hemmed in Donald Trump, keeping him under wraps with gag orders. They wanted to keep him in a box and they kept him silent as much as they could.
I was leaning toward Trump and I’m probably going to end up supporting him once again. Seeing Joe Biden’s policies and the way he’s conducting himself, I don’t think he’s got the stamina or the ability to do the job for very much longer. The border has been blown wide open. The economy just stinks…
I don’t want to jump down the rabbit hole and say I’m not voting for [Trump]. But I do think he’s going to be vindictive. This is a bad day for America. We’ve crossed the Rubicon. If he wins, I think he’s going to go out and start punishing folks.
[Jim calls back 10 minutes later]
There’s no way I can support a convicted felon as president. He’ll have to appeal and win for that to change. But I’m definitely not voting for Biden.
