Donald Trump may be the leading Republican candidate for president, but Alaska Congressman Don Young is no fan. Young says he supports Ohio governor John Kasich.
“He happens to have one of the best brains. Got the experience. Knows how to do that job. (But people say) ‘Oh, he’s not exciting enough,'” Young lamented at a forum in Juneau Tuesday. “Now, who do I blame? The people! A bunch of idiots following a pied piper over the edge of the cliff! That’s who I blame,” he said. “They ought to know better than that. I mean, nobody wants to read anymore! No one wants to find out the background anymore.”
The Congressman may hold his contituents in slightly higher esteem, because in Alaska, Sen. Ted Cruz narrowly beat Trump to the top spot of the Republican presidential preference poll.
