Roskam's 'wild card' missing from political deck

Back in July my congressman Peter Roskam (IL-6) had this to say about Trump: "I do think time is Donald Trump's friend. I think people are saying... alright, I'm ready to hear this guy out, see what he has got to say with the flash and dash aside." In October Roskam opined: "Trump's comments (on grabbing women's genitals) are disgusting and corrosive"....they fly in the face of every lesson wife Elizabeth and I taught our daughters and sons about how men and women interact. However, this election is a binary choice in which I am choosing to vote for a wild card over an unworthy candidate."

Three months later Roskam's female frisky 'wild card' is president, putting a white nationalist on the National Security Council, defunding foreign efforts to control population, implementing a hideous, unconstitutional ban on Muslims from nations not doing business with the Trump brand; then firing the principled Acting Attorney General for challenging it...for starters.

Now that Roskam has time to 'hear this guy out' as well as see the wreckage he's caused in a week, the press reached out to Roskam, inquiring if he'd join Republican colleague Randy Hultgren who said this about Trump's trampling of the Constitution and presidential power: “We should have our arms open to those who are fleeing oppression and seeking safety, not turning them away at the door.” Alas, Roskam and staff neither answered phone calls or responded to emails. Maybe he's still wading through all that 'flash and dash' to determine what Trump really stands for. Or he's still searching for that 'wild card' which suddenly disappeared from his political deck.
