Trump’s values
It was not so long ago that the Republican Party was the party of family values.
Now comes a candidate with five children from three different wives. A guy who trades in his wives every couple of years for a newer model? A potential first lady who marries a guy 25 years her senior?
Is this the example that we want to set for our children from the party that has always stood for traditional family values?
Like it or not, the president of the United States is the ultimate role model for people all over the world, not just children. If a behavior is good enough for the leader of the free world, then certainly I cannot be held to a higher standard.
Is Donald Trump so great that the entire Republican Party can just abandon its core principles?
