Trey Gowdy is retiring because he thinks he was a 'lousy politician'
by Kyle Feldscher | Feb 4, 2018, 12:04 PM

Rep. Trey Gowdy said he’s going to leave Congress at the end of his term because he feels like he’s been a “lousy politician” because he doesn’t see political life about winning and losing.

“I enjoy the justice system, I enjoy being fair. I enjoy the pursuit of fairness as a virtue. And I'm just more comfortable in that system,” he said on CBS’ “Face The Nation.”

“My wife hates it when I say this, but I was a pretty good prosecutor, I think. I've been a pretty lousy politician. I've done it for seven years, I'm really grateful for the opportunity to do it.”

Being a lousy politician is a huge plus in my book.  He can be my Rep any time.  I hate politicians.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Yeah.  That's probably why it's so hard to get any decent person to run for elective office.

   Trey Gowdy is a wash to me, like Darryl Issa before him it was more political expediency to bow down before the Master than to rear up and bite when the opportunity arose.
   They both will be missed in their unexpected retirement from politics but I would think we can all agree that when push came to shove, they BOTH disappointed US.

Fairness on the battlefield is no virtue.

I like Trey more now than ever. He honestly is not cut out for a knife fight, he knows and admits such, I respect that.
