Party over principle. This is what we are seeing. As the Republican Party folds in behind the presumptive nominee, I cannot help but think it should not be so. We should not support someone simply because they belong to the same neighborhood as us, or the same social club,
Or, the same political party.
If you have principles, you support for office those who have principles. There are those who like Trump's principles, who find no fault with them. Let them support Trump. That is fine. But, if you have languished against Trump, feeling his values do not match yours, do not sign on with him now, simply because he belongs to your party.
That is party over principle. It is party over country.
Bless Paul Ryan for not being quick too sign on with Trump. As a leader of the party, he is expected to do so. He is expected to fall in and salute, so to speak. I would like to think otherwise, but, unfortunately, he probably will.
