A Texas GOP Elector will not vote for Trump
This comes after one Elector resigned; this one says "Fifteen years ago, I swore an oath to defend my country and Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. On Dec. 19, I will do it again."
In
a New
York Times op-ed, Dallas GOP Elector Christopher Suprun laid out his argument:
“George W. Bush is an imperfect man, but he
led us through the tragic days following the attacks. His leadership showed
that America was a great nation. That was also the last time I remember the
nation united. I watch Mr. Trump fail to unite America and drive a wedge
between us.
Mr.
Trump goes out of his way to attack the cast of Saturday Night Live for bias.
He tweets day and night, but waited two days to offer sympathy to the Ohio
State community after an attack there. He does not encourage civil discourse,
but chooses to stoke fear and create outrage.
This
is unacceptable. For me, America is that shining city on a hill that Ronald
Reagan envisioned. It has problems. It has challenges. These can be met and overcome
just as our nation overcame Sept. 11.”
The
full
op-ed is here.
