I don't trust any elected or appointed Republicans. Nobody.

They are all partisan in a way that makes them incapable of upholding the rule of law.

They are both self-serving. I do believe that dems are genuinely more honest because of our platform, caring about people.

There was a republican, avid consumer rights crusader, so it seemed. I voted for her to lead our state ultilities commission. She won and became a prominent state politician. Then I watched as she became more and more right then hard right. After that, I have not filled an oval for a republican in any race. If we elected dog catchers I would not vote for a republican even for that, because they would politicize and degrade that important function.
