GOP Rep. Unsure He Can Back Trump: I’m ‘Upset’ About ‘Vulgar’ Remarks

Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, on Sunday said he has not decided whether he will vote for Donald Trump, who he said is “certainly not conservative.”

“The problem with Donald Trump is his position changes sometimes in the same speech,” Huelskamp said on “Fox News Sunday.”

The congressman noted that Trump says he is “flexible,” which Huelskamp argued is “exactly what the people don’t want.”

“Donald Trump has no clear position on anything,” he added.

Fox News host Chris Wallace then asked the congressman what he will do if the election comes down to Trump verses Clinton.

“I don’t know,” Huelskamp replied. “I need to talk to my wife. We’re both so upset about these vulgar statements. Why does he have to talk like that? Why does he have to talk in a brash manner that’s so attacking and demeaning to women?”

The congressman said that Trump is better than Clinton, but noted that Mitt Romney was not able to defeat President Obama.

“I fear we’re going to have to vote for the lesser of two evils, and I don’t think that’s going to work out very well unless we see some clear, consistent changes from Donald Trump,” he said.

    And strawberries are better than lemons, but it must be said that South Carolina is South of North Carolina.
