Trump and Vance are Not Very Good Republicans

    But from my point of view, not many Republicans are very good, either.

    And to be fair, I am writing about this instead of remarking on how my Hoosiers have lost yet another close one in Assembly Hall. This time to plucky UCLA. Every guy on their team stepped up to get the first win for them on the East Coast. Eastern or Central time. But anyway, this is about Republicans.

    Donald Trump is too extreme, and he is unmeasured. Maybe Vance is just the former. He is young. Forty years-old. Europe and NATO can do better, but not to sell out the Ukrainians. Is that what the current administration is doing? Are we letting Russia get away with murder, robbery, pillaging, and the disturbance of international and decency of the rule of law?

    This needs further review, I admit. But this might be a permittance of thuggery and mobocracy.

    Then we have a guy worth almost a half-trillion dollars to help decide to fire and cut hundreds and thousands of government employees, without much deliberation or due process. Sounds more like a Fascist or Communist purge than any efficiency move.

    Stupid. Republicans should not be stupid and unmeasured, but they are.

    Kick out hard working immigrants? No, does not make a lot of sense. Criminals who committed misdemeanors and felonies, sure.

    Republicans should not be extremists. Extremism ends up hurting us and the opponents, all of us, in the long run.

    I guess the policy debates by me need more fleshing out, more scrutiny and analysis than just issuing these blanket statements.

    I have personal issues with the president. Mostly about the military. Questions and concerns.

    I am not a Democrat, or a Libertarian. Or other parties. 

    I have been a Republican since 1996 or so. Bill Clinton convinced me. I am 25 years younger than Donald Trump, but he only has two more years registered as a Republican.

    What gives? 

    Other questions. More about integrity. Accusations and claims that are false. Lies.

    So, are we a party of hyperbole and false accusations now?

    I guess so. Not my kind of Republicans.
