Letter: The GOP needs to be destroyed so true conservatism can rise again

Related Topics: Utah, Donald Trump, Mia Love

Utah’s four GOP House representatives recently debated their challengers. The four — Rob Bishop, Chris Stewart, John Curtis and Mia Love — cited and endorsed their own Utah “values” while continuing to generally support and endorse their party and its leader, Donald Trump. There is an inconsistency, even a hypocrisy, in citing Utah values while endorsing Trump.

The current GOP is corroded, corrupt, untruthful, uncivil, indecent and incapable of governing. A number of prominent Republicans now argue that the party needs to be destroyed so it can be reborn as a principled, honest, conservative party. This process can be expedited by voting against the Trump GOP party — against its candidates at all levels — now and in 2020.
