Dan Skantar’s letter “Trump is a RINO” (July 25, TribLIVE) was excellent and filled with nothing but facts. President Trump’s enablers, Reps. Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz and Ron Paul and Sens. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Lindsey Graham and the majority of the Trumplican party are all RINOs.

There are few true and loyal Republicans left. I’m sure Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan would be ashamed of today’s Republican Party and the actions of Trump and his Trumplican RINOs.

The letter “Jan. 6 committee, what a show” (July 14, TribLIVE) was a joke. I think the letter-writer is a Trump worshipper, still in denial, who believes Trump’s every word, the Big Lie, his incitement of the Capitol riot and his attempt to steal the election. His comparing the Jan. 6 hearings to the TV show “Twin Peaks” speaks for his mindset.

In my opinion, the riot at the Capitol was written, produced and directed by the worst example of a president ever. The hearings are totally justified. The investigation is not a conspiracy against Trump. May God bless the Jan. 6 committee and right the wrongs of two of the most legitimate impeachments of a president in this country’s history.

Would I consider voting for a Republican as president? Yes, I would. But a true Republican, not a RINO Trump­lican. That would be Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and Sen. Mitt Romney, who put the country over their party and over Trump.
