Local GOP should know that Trump’s loyalty is one-way

It is interesting that the higher profile people in the Snohomish Republican ranks are all attaching themselves so tightly to President Trump and will go down with his sinking ship (“Local GOP leaders insist its too early for Trump to concede,” The Herald, Nov. 12).

It seems unnecessary to torpedo their credibility here when there will be no change to the Washington election outcome. They can see how little he values party loyalty when criticizing Republican secretaries of state in states he has apparently lost, and how he has turned on Fox News, after it carried his water for four years, and now wants to “wreck” it with his own digital media project. Loyalty seems one way for him.
