By Amber Phillips

... Don Young ... "I don’t listen to him and never have ... I may vote for myself” ...

Adam Kinzinger ...“I guess I appreciate Mr. Trump’s fieriness in talking about it, but you don’t do it by alienating the very people that we need, and those are moderate Muslims" ...

Duncan D. Hunter ... "Everybody's asking me to explain all these things that he said ... Some of these things, I don't know what Donald Trump is thinking ... I don't know where Donald Trump is coming from" ...

John Kasich ... "It's painful ... I’m not making any final decision yet, but at this point, I just can’t do it” ...

What kind of message about his discernment will it send his constituents when he now walks back his support from the crazy fool he touted as quite Presidential just a short time ago.

He's a grade a dickhead.

He supported the insubordinate Camp Pendleton marine who was posting anti-Obama screeds on the internet after being ordered by his superiors to cease and desist, and more recently had to pay back funds to his campaign account because "his kid" was using the credit card to download Steam games (I think it was around $1400 worth).

Unfortunately this district is infested with loudmouthed tea baggers -- they routinely invite scumbags like Arpaio and likeminded douchebags to citizens forums to speak about the evil government.

He seems adamant that he is not attending the convention.
He may not run again in 4 years anyway. He seems truly disgusted by where his party has gone, and knows the implications of a Trump win.
