It doesn't matter who you vote for. The military-industrial complex wins. Only difference: GOP presidents pronounce "Pakistan" correctly.

To the editor:
I am a lifelong Republican and I support the basic principles my party stands for. I know my fellow Republicans in Congress didn’t go there for the money, and I know they care more about implementing conservative policies than merely winning the next election. So, I ask them what they want their legacy to be. (“Enough is Enough,” editorial, Aug. 20)
Conservative commentators, including George Will and David Brooks, have written about the disaster in Washington caused by a narcissistic president who has no idea how to govern, has alienated allies, has made Barack Obama look like Abraham Lincoln, and has thrown our party into chaos. Recent events demonstrate even more clearly that President Trump does not have the character, to say nothing of the ability, to govern.
Congress’ Republican leaders have an opportunity to be remembered for saving the country by bringing about the end of this president’s tenure as soon as possible.
I want to continue to be a supporter of the “big tent” party once led by Ronald Reagan. But now, I am embarrassed to claim membership in a party led by people who tolerate Trump’s incompetence. The Republican lawmakers I voted for have invested too many years in public service to go down in history as a Trump apologist.
