Reynolds letter: Crapo switch

Politically, I am an Independent. I look for candidates who demonstrate integrity and courage. That’s why I voted for Senator Crapo when I voted early — he had the courage, I thought, to step away from Donald Trump. Now, I learn that he’s changed his mind — again. Was this a bait and switch? If it was, I took the bait hook, line and sinker. If it was not, the man has his finger back in the air, testing the direction of the political wind, aiming to pander to his base; never mind integrity. Pathetic.

Jim Reynolds, Caldwell
