Open letter to Berks lawmakers: Do you support Trump?

By Steve Reinbrecht

I am asking the local state representatives to help me with a story for my blog.

Donald Trump is the front runner for GOP presidential candidate, but even many conservative observers see him as a bigot, a bully, a populist, a demagogue. 


The Economist: “The front-runner is unfit to lead a great political party, let alone America.”

The Federalist: “It’s not just about conservative credentials or his slimy personal history. Donald Trump is a danger to the American ideals of a free and open society.”

George Will: “We are about to learn much about Republican officeholders who are now deciding whether to come to terms with Trump, and with the shattering of their party as a vessel of conservatism.”

The Wall Street Journal: “While some current and former Republican officials have endorsed Donald Trump, others have said they wouldn't support him even if he were the party's presidential nominee.”

Nevertheless, many politicians are starting to hop on the Trump bus.

Here are my questions:
  1. Do you think Trump would be a good president?
  2. Do you support or admire Trump?
  3. Why is he so popular among Republicans?
  4. What does his popularity mean for the future of the Republican Party?
  5. Would you support Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton?
  6. How many of your constituents support him?

I’ll post your answers.
Thanks!
