As a lifelong Republican I have become increasingly disgusted by our Republican Congress.

We gave them the House, but they claimed they needed the Senate, so we gave them the Senate. Instead of doing what they said they would do we have seen them lie to us sell us out and cave in at every turn.

Their lies and deceit led directly to the front-running campaign of Donald Trump, who frankly scares them to death. They are so desperate that now they are endorsing and raising money for a man they hate, Sen. Ted Cruz.

Well this Republican is fed up, and in November I will vote for either man and against every other Republican on the ballot from congressional to county commissioner. These people do not deserve and should lose their position. I hate to punish my state legislator but the Republican Party of today must be repealed and replaced.
