I’m not in the least bit surprised that Congressman Lou Barletta has endorsed Donald Trump. After all, Barletta made his reputation as the racist mayor of Hazleton and has continued his vicious diatribes against immigrants while in office.
On the other hand, Toomey likes to give the impression that he is a moderate Republican, reasonable, somewhat in the center. Yet he has publicly stated on network TV that he will support the nominee of the Republican Party. Suppose it is Cruz, whose main accomplishment was working to shut down the government and who would like to return to the gold standard? No problem. Suppose it is Trump? No problem. Voting on Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court? No way.
People like Toomey put their party’s interest above the interest of the country. That is about as unpatriotic as Toomey can get, no matter how many flag pins he might wear in his lapel. The irony is that his actions will ultimately hurt the Republican Party as well.
