One of the very few downsides to having a non-political man of the people such as Donald Trump as President. He is not a political junkie as are so many here on FreeRepublic and the listeners of programs such a Rush. Hannity, Levin, etc...
Trump is a Patriotic American businessman with fantastic policy instincts but when it comes to the nitty-gritty minutia of specific candidates at the state level he must rely upon advice and recommendations. Sometimes they are good. Sometimes not.
He is told who to endorse by Jared Kushner who is a liberal.
