29. How sad it is that he struggles with his sexuality, but in order to remain in the corrupt party

he is willing to throw his LGBTQ fellows under the bus by voting against them and himself. The hypocrisy within the republican party has no limits.

Everyday I hit my head against the wall in hope that something with rattle inside to help me understand why anyone with education can be a republican. I understand the deplorable, they just don't know any better than to hate, but educated people who do not have anything to gain from supporting republicans because they are not part of the 1%? Not even that, I mean, OK, be a republican, but to support trump??? That goes beyond comprehension.
