So I put up a tweet between about midnight and 3 AM that has now been covered on Twitter and in the press as though a single tweet is the defining moment of who I am as a human being. The tweet was wrong and misguided and I deleted it. I apologized.

He’s a NeverTrumper who couldn’t stand having to consider the Trump agenda. It’s likely he got some orders from Mormon higher ups.

The Mormon church supports open borders/amnesty.
That is what drives all the NeverTrump nonsense.

There are Republicans who won yesterday? The MSM, the arbiters of truth, said only Democrats won.

No mention of this on the networks, including Fox. Instead they tried to say that Dems winning governor in two Dem states showed the Pubs may lose the house in 2018. You would think the string of Pub house wins would be more relevant to that.

Exactly what I was thinking. PS-I I would vote for ANY Republican over a Dem. A long time ago, a wise cousin pointed out that the majority, in any area of politics, gets to organize the committees. I will vote for the best Conservative in the Primary, I will forevermore vote for the Republican in the general elections.
