Roskam playing coy with racist, hatemonger Trump

My congressman Peter Roskam (IL 6) is riding the horns of a dilemma. He knows he can't in good conscience and with passion support his presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. Yet, he knows the great majority of his Republican base in the 6th District either loves and voted for Trump, or will gladly support his disgraceful and destructive brand of hate and fear mongering he exploited to grab the brass GOP presidential ring.

What to do? For Roskam it's say nothing, nada, zilch. Pretend The Donald doesn't even exist.

I've called his office two days in a row and the voice from the office has no clue as to Roskam's thoughts on Trump or if and when he'll surface to reveal his decision.

Will Roskam follow fellow Illinois Republican Mark Kirk's principled stand to neither vote for nor support Trump's candidacy. Or will he reveal himself as an unprincipled supporter of the darkest side in main party presidential politics we've ever had the misfortune to experience.
