Gabbert letter: Crapo and Simpson

As deplorable and disappointing were the words from Donald Trump, I am equally disappointed in Sen. Mike Crapo and Rep. Mike Simpson. They both ran for the tall grass to protect their position in the “do nothing” Congress. I will not vote for a Democrat and I will certainly not vote for Sen. Crapo again.

Crapo has a short memory. The people of his Idaho district have been generous and forgiving of his DUI conviction. He should be ashamed of himself and should take a lesson from Rep. Raul Labrador. He has taken a sensible position especially given what is at stake in this election.
