<p>I actually liked the first part of this article. As a lifelong Republican, I am dismayed that so many of my fellow Republicans decided to jump on the Trump Train, despite the clear fact the man didn't have the competence, the temperament and the intelligence to be President. Being a failed businessman but successful reality show star on which he pretended to be a successful businessman, is not sufficient background to be President of the United States.

<p>I actually liked the first part of this article. As a lifelong Republican, I am dismayed that so many of my fellow Republicans decided to jump on the Trump Train, despite the clear fact the man didn't have the competence, the temperament and the intelligence to be President. Being a failed businessman but successful reality show star on which he pretended to be a successful businessman, is not sufficient background to be President of the United States. So many of my fellow Republicans knew better and yet they threw away their principles and integrity to support this President.</p>
<p>I certainly don't blame Trump for everything associated with COVID-19, i.e. Budweiservirus (the makers of Corona beer deserve a break), but clearly Trump bungled how his administration approached a crisis not of its own making. Part of that is because of Trump's personality flaws. Trump does not believe in planning for the future. He believes in reacting to what is happening in the present. That might work as president of a family run business (actually it didn't as Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times), but it is a disaster-waiting-to-happen as President.</p>
<p>I don't live in the 5th District, but this Republican will NOT be voting for any GOP candidate who is riding on the Trump Train. Anyone who is doing that lacks the integrity and backbone for elected office.</p>
