GOP candidates
I am an unaffiliated voter and I possess many “traditional” Republican values, namely, a belief in personal responsibility and fiscal responsibility. But those values are nowhere to be found today among Republican candidates. My only choices are reasonableness (Democrats) and what I’ll call Hateful Crazytown. Most choices are between democracy preservation (D) and democracy destruction (R). John McCain, I sure do miss you!

Border bill
The immigration/border legislation debacle last week was inexcusable.
The Republican-requested immigration reform bill tied to aid for Ukraine failed in the Senate , with only four Republican senators voting in favor. North Carolina Sens. Thom Tillis and Ted Budd voted against it.
Tillis and Budd apparently lack the grace and courage to stand up those who would rather see border chaos and point blame. By voting ‘no,’ they did not do what’s right and best for the people of North Carolina and the country.
