With all the GOOD candidates for the job why should the MAJORITY Party accept one with so much lawbreaking in his background?
Accepting candidates with that much bad in their background including on the job is something the rats do not the GOP.
Lawbreakers should not be in charge of protecting our Country!
This is the party of Moral values, so yes that would look real good having someone who himself breaks the law.
In a town where the law is being routinely broken and is without respect, find the meanest and most disrespectful lawbreaker, and make him sheriff, after telling him this is the way to get rid of the competition.
Most of the remaining bad guys will either be in Boot Hill taking a dirt nap, or riding the stage or train out of town within six months to a year.
Then try to cage that sheriff before he gets so entrenched NOBODY will be able to remove him.
