We need truck drivers, plumbers, janitors, etc. Just as honorable as
bankers. Sure, money is important but liking what you do makes working
a lot more tolerable.

I know. Trump has no moral compass, it's whatever position he thinks is good
for him at the moment. I don't think he really cares much about abortion period.
Today is the PA primary, another test of Trump's influence. Dr. Oz who seems at
best to have been what the Trumpets would call a RINO, kissed up to Trump and
went right, hoping to win. I hope he loses. The sooner the GOP breaks free from
the cult of Trump, the sooner we can get back to normalcy and decency instead
of Trump's sore loser election loss whining.
