Here’s the letter I just sent to my congressperson, the unutterably retrograde Jim Jordan.

Dear Congressman Jordan, Every day, it seems, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's actions and words make it clearer and clearer that he is entirely unqualified to be president. I will mention only in passing Trump's long history of unethical business practices and his record of extreme and erratic behavior, serious as those issues are. His recent insults to a Gold Star family, his suggestion that "Second Amendment people" might "do something" to prevent Hillary Clinton from appointing Supreme Court justices, and his astonishing claim that Obama somehow "founded ISIS" are only three of the most egregious examples of this behavior in the last several days.

Every day, more responsible Republicans are joining the chorus of those who recognize that electing Trump would be a catastrophe for America and the world. I call on you now to disavow Donald Trump publicly and to withhold your support for any nominee as patently and demonstrably unfitted to public office as he has shown himself to be.

Sincerely, your constituent,

Jeff Gundy
