Joe Lieberman May Endorse Trump

Former Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, the first Jew to appear on a national presidential ticket, told Fox News he's thinking of supporting Republican Donald Trump.

He's still undecided in this year's race between Trump and Hillary Clinton, he said, adding, there are "a lot of us, I think, who can't feel quite comfortable either way yet."

“I’ve been spending a lot of time with a group called ‘No Labels,’” he said. “Jon Huntsman and I, former Republican governor of Utah, [are] really trying to do something that may seem naive or idealistic, but to sort of build the groundwork of people in both, parties who after the war is over—the war [which] is this campaign— will be prepared to try to build a peace that will enable our government to get something done for the American people.”

Huntsman, however, endorsed Trump back in May because "he has a unique opportunity to bring together constituents under the Republican banner."

1. Joe will you please go away and take your orangutan with you?

[liberal N proud]

2. Disgusting

[DanTex]

3. Joe Lieberman is an idiot.

[Hortensis]

6. He's certainly been way ouuut there in some respects.

How bizarre to consider that endorsing Trump at this point could possibly lay a foundation for future party "peace." (Mormon Huntsman endorsed Trump already? Very interesting.)

At Lieberman's age, brain damage? Not really thinking mean of him. My MIL had a series of mini-strokes that changed her personality, while probably for a whole year we just thought it was mood changes.

[major debacle]

4. Was this before or after what Trump said today?

If after, and Joe was aware of it, FUCK HIM!

[dubyadiprecession]

18. Remember, George P. Bush endorsed trump today.

We must not forget that.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. before - Sat

[C_U_L8R]

5. He's still alive?

Still a jerk I see.

[ecstatic]

7. Desperate for attention...

As Beyonce would say... Boy, bye!

[Maru Kitteh]

14. That was my first thought too. Poor Joe didn't get enough attention as a baby

So now he's acting like, and exercising the judgement of, an overgrown one.

[geek tragedy]

8. Fuck Joe Lieberman.

Evergreen post title.

[titaniumsalute]

9. Joe who??

[Daemonaquila]

10. Screw you, Joe.

Any Dem having anything to do with this washed up piece of trash needs their head examined.

Maybe it's more JoeMentum talking.

[LyndaG]

11. I'm from CT

Sooo glad we have two good Senators now. I haven't heard anybody say they miss Joe.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Me too. And my family up there is just aghast

with Trump too. Like so disgusted they almost whisper about it

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

12. Fuck Joey Lies. n/m

[Uponthegears]

13. So who is to blame for 2000?

[Behind the Aegis]

37. The Supreme Court.

[Uponthegears]

40. ^^^THIS

[bananakabob]

15. Are you surprised?

"No Labels" is a neocon front group

[dhol82]

16. Asshat.

Why is anybody interested in what he says?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. Did Al Gore give him atomic wedgies on the campaign bus in 2000?

I can't believe he was ever the Democratic VP candidate.

[SaschaHM]

19. So they're trying to build a peaceful coalition.... yet, he's considering endorsing..

the most hateful, bigoted, idiotic candidate that there has been in decades. No thanks.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Kind of surprises me about Huntsman too - he seemed to be only 1/2 crazy nt

[Glamrock]

23. Joe Lieberman may kiss my ass

That is all

[Gidney N Cloyd]

24. Kinda sad about Huntsman.

[glennward]

39. He was on of three GOPers I actually had some respect for. Oh, well. He just finished his career.

[BobbyDrake]

25. "No Labels" is nothing but a front for moderate conservativism after they lost their party

to the crazies.

[Rex]

26. Loserman please go away, after 2000 nobody cares what you think.

I wonder if he felt that way in 2000? He has always been way too friendly with the GOP.

[grubbs]

27. Never understood Jews

Who support a party that only wants Israel to survive long enough to be destroyed to fulfill ancient prophecy.

[RKP5637]

28. POS! n/t

[jknudsen]

29. Destroyed the public option

What do you expect from this clown

[Doctor Jack]

30. Who?

[panader0]

31. Jon Huntsman--I used to think he was a sane Republican

So did Obama I guess. He was appointed ambassador to China, Geez.....

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

32. Oh, my.

Is Joe Lieberman still a registered Democrat?

[Thrill]

33. Hes irrelevant. And not a

Democrat

[Gothmog]

34. Who cares?

Lieberman is not really a democrat

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. More disappointed in Jon Hunstsman

Must have more to do with his hate and envy for Mitt Romney, his fellow Mormon.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. True...but although he seemed 1/2 sane, he didn't strike me as

the most savvy clever type. think he may have gotten on the trump train at some point when it was still 1/2 ok to do that and always hard to back off - makes you look stupid.

[Behind the Aegis]

38. Talk about non-news.

I often wonder why something like this is even brought to DU to "discuss".

[leftynyc]

44. Gee, that's a real head scratcher

Besides, he's endorsed Hillary.

[CobaltBlue]

41. I prefer to commonly not acknowledge the former U.S. senator from Connecticut

I reject him.

[groundloop]

42. The TRAITOROUS former US Senator from Connecticut

Screw you Joe Lie-berman.

[oberliner]

47. Traitorous?

In what was is he traitorous?

[Maeve]

43. No, he's voting for Clinton

[AgadorSparticus]

45. Shameless or just stupid? Can't tell. Maybe he is shamelessly stupid.

[oberliner]

46. So this turned out to be BS and he has endorsed Hillary

“I’m an Independent Democrat, I never changed parties, and I’m going to vote for Hillary Clinton because I’ve known her forever. She’s strong, she’s smart, she understands national security, and what I was most impressed with during our years in the Senate together is that she reached across party lines to build coalitions and get stuff done,” he said.

[BlueMTexpat]

48. He didn't. eom
