Donald Trump was the first presidential candidate in my lifetime who ran for office while openly opposing his own national party platform on key issues.

Why do you blame the GOP for this? They have a guy in the White House who is basically an interloper in their party. Of course they're going to keep their distance from him -- especially on those critical issues like immigration and trade where he is diametrically opposed to their own party platform.

I don't like it any better than you do, but they're doing exactly what I have expected them to do all along.

**************

The party is defending their platform. Trump is defending the nation.

He is pursuing the agenda his voters wanted him to achieve. One of those items (securing the border) is an existential issue for the country yet the GOP is largely against it. I cannot support a party that does not support our national sovereignty. Being a veteran that is very important to me, as it should be for every American.
