W,
It has nothing to do with Trump at all.
The problem isn't that Sherill violated the Academy honor code way back when, and in the moment, made a bad decision.
It's that even now, with 30 years + of hindsight and experience, and specifically because she based her entire political identity and career on her sterling military service record, she can't/won't admit she made an error of judgment.
And the specific error of judgment she made, is exactly what you do NOT want in a politician--protecting one's friends/cronies from accountability for cheating/ethical violations.
That's what Democrats claim is important to them. Ethics. Rule of Law.
And then she complained that it was unfair to call out her Academy record when she herself asked to be judged on her military record. So that's entirely hypocritical on her part.
I can't blame anything I do that turns out to be wrong or a mistake on Trump or anyone else, especially if I want people to judge me on my history and decision-making ability in the area that I made the mistake.
That Sherill either does not realize this herself, or if she does, believes that nevertheless, she should pander to a base that doesn't care about it, means she is not what she has sold herself as, nor what I myself thought she was when she originally took office. (She is my congressperson by the way I live in NJ-11).
This has nothing at all to do with Trump.
The world doesn't revolve around Trump.
