"I’m a Reagan guy. I’m a Christian first, an American second & then a Republican somewhere farther down.” It is more important to do the right thing vs being a hyper-partisan. Politics should not be about shirts vs skins, but on what is right for America." 3newsnow.com/news/local-new…

One of MAGA's worst cons is redefining strength as weakness and weakness as strength. Capitulate to Trump and cater to his every whim? You're strong! You know what time it is! Hold fast to your principles? You're weak. You're soft. That's the critique of judges in a nutshell.
