Crapo back tracks on Trump

Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo, who was among the first U.S. senators to disavow Donald Trump last weekend and call for him to step aside as the GOP presidential nominee, said in a televised debate Friday night that he might still vote for Trump.

Asked who he’ll vote for, Crapo said, “I haven’t decided yet.”

He said, “I can tell you this: I cannot and will not vote for Hillary Clinton,” and sharply criticized Clinton, suggesting that if she is elected, “the Constitution itself” could hang in the balance.

Meanwhile, his Democratic challenger, Jerry Sturgill, said he’ll back Clinton “because she is the better alternative to Donald Trump,” but said, “It’s sad that both candidates are flawed and they are so unpopular. … We, the people, are angry”/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
