Sadly, Thomas could be writing about any of the thousands of GOP elected officials in Congress, state legislatures, and county and municipal offices who routinely check their civic duty and moral compass at the door of power. A better justification cannot be made for a single, six-year term limit for every elected in office in the country.

This piece on Tillis—a study of disdain rightly aimed. Fits to a “T.” Distinct pattern. Metastatic behavior. Repulsive.

Extremely disappointing that all of these republicans who know better endorse this criminal. They all take an oath to the constitution and then violate that oath.

Thom Tillis has been trying to present himself as transitioning. Most times I am unconvinced because he has shown his true colors many times. He answers quickly I’ll give him that. He is running scared of losing support when he runs again. If he is not primaried, as he will be if he does not back Trump, he will probably be up against Wiley Nickel who is anxious to run for his seat. Unfortunately, any good will he has tried to foster will be wasted when he endorses Trump.

I was just starting to like Thom Tillis. I shouldn't at all be surprised, but what a disappointment! I fill out his surveys whenever I get them, identifying myself as an unaffiliated moderate and responding quite honestly to the questions. I used to feel HEARD whenever I got one of those emails. Now I know that my responses went into the Delete Immediately pile.

Senator Thom Tillis of NC just fell off the tightrope he was trying to walk, portraying himself as a sensible moderate seeking solutions to issues like immigration, now yielding to Trump-led angertainment designed to divide and conquer Americans.
