In a scathing open letter to U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo, online columnist Chris Carlson of the Carlson Chronicles reports that he has returned a fund-raising letter and envelope to the senator (because he already has enough money). And then wonders "What happened to Mike Crapo?"
"The (Mike Crapo) I see running for re-election today is running to the hard right, mouthing the mindless bromides of the Tea Party. Friends of yours tell me that you wanted to pre-empt any primary attack from the right. Really? Mike Crapo is running to the hard right because he’s afraid of someone acting even more heartless than Donald Trump, who wants to ship all 11 million illegal, but largely tax-paying contributing immigrants, out of the country? And when did you start idolizing that heartless, wealthy Idaho colleague of yours, U.S. Sen. Jim Risch, who demonstrates time and again he cares for little but himself and maintaining the growing gap between the super rich and the middle class?"/Idaho State Journal Politics.
