If he runs, he has my vote.
An explanation is hardly an “excuse”.
If he has your vote, then you have no standards. May as well vote for Christie or any other dem-lite RINO.
The (supposed) purpose of the Republican party is to provide an opposition party to dems. A gun grabber RINO is no different than a dem so what is the point of voting at all of there is not going to be any opposition?
