I know Charlie Copeland is smart. So I know he doesn’t believe the nonsense and rationalizations about Trump coming out of his own mouth. He no doubt hopes Trump loses without stripping away the last few shreds of the GOP’s dignity. That way Copeland can go on to helping candidates who are more adept at keeping their bigotries quiet, like Ken Simpler, get elected.
As for the rest of the Republicans quoted in this weekend’s News Journal piece, like Gary Simpson, they are idiots. They have internalized the lie that Secretary Clinton is the anti-christ, or the lie that Donald Trump can be the strong man “America needs” or both.
As for Delaware Republicans not going to the convention, all of them are voting for Trump. ALL of them. Every Republican knee will bend. Except one. Wilmington Booster, Ken Grant, has actual friends who are black and or Muslim, and he knows what a Trump victory would mean for them and the country. Everyone other Delaware Republican is voting for Trump. Every one.
