Re “‘I Can Watch It on TV’: Excuses for Republicans Skipping a Trump Convention” (news article, June 2):
Those Republicans who won’t attend the convention are running scared—not afraid of their chances of re-election but truly afraid of Donald Trump and what he will do, if elected, to eliminate their gravy trains and their lucrative connections.
These Republicans should all be ashamed of themselves for acting like 4-year-olds deprived of toys so they have a tantrum. The people have spoken, and they want real change in the country. As far as I can see, Donald Trump is the one who can actually effect that change.
Republicans should unite around the one person who may be able to win the presidency. Not supporting him will ruin the only chance the Republicans have to fix the country’s problems.
