.@ScottJenningsKY and I see this very differently. I don't understand him and he probably doesn't understand me. We both worked for Bush43. That's Bush who won on "restoring honor and decency in the White House." He does not support Donald Trump. We both worked for Mitt Romney who, agree or disagree with his politics, is a good and decent man. He does not support Donald Trump. Scott's mentor is Mitch McConnell, who Donald Trump constantly ridicules and has attacked his wife with racial slurs. As a Republican consultant, supporting the leader of your party will always be the easiest, most expedient path. But I can't support that man. I'm not wired that way. I don't see how, if you believed that honor and dignity matter, if you believe character counts, if you have respect for the men you worked with, including your mentor's wife, how do you embrace Donald Trump? Everyone has to find their own path and make their choices. I can't support a man who mocks the disabled, mocked John McCain, uses the language of National Socialism to describe immigrants as "vermin." I'm not going to support a man who brags about assaulting women. My dad was an FBI agent. I'm not going to support a man who attacks the rule of law. I see failure in politics as not standing for the values you support. I'd rather lose an election with a candidate I respect than win with a horrible human being without character. Scott thinks he won. He's a Trump guy. Trump won. I think the price of victory was too high. I'll stick with President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, and the other Republicans who don't consider victory electing someone who is so opposed to the fundamental values we share. I think we won.
