Reynolds letter: Trump’s ban

Whatever your opinion on the confusion caused by President Trump’s travel ban, it made one thing clear: Idaho’s elected representatives are nearly all spineless sycophants.

To a man, their comments avoided the core issues, cast blame on others and — most importantly — ensured they didn’t take a clear position. God forbid having an opinion costs you some votes — or special interest money.

Idaho deserves better leadership and our children deserve better role models.
