Local Republican leaders don’t have much to say about Trump controversies
Editor:
On August 6, in a letter to the editor, I asked Ship Draper, Orleans County Republican Chairman, to explain in the Hub, Trump’s comment “If you go after me, I am coming for you.”
To date neither Mr. Draper, nor any other Republican has responded.
Perhaps he, and other Republican leaders believe the way to survive politically is by keeping their heads down, never take a stand, hide in the shadows, not make any comments, and pray really hard all of the legal controversy swirling around Trump will go away.
Many of us remember the old Hogan’s Heroes TV comedy show in which German guard Sgt. Schultz would avoid taking a stand or a position on anything by saying, “nothing, I know nothing.”
Could it be Orleans Republicans are thinking Schultz was on to something?
