Broadsword has shown lack of trust

Let me get this straight, Ms. Broadsword, who was elected in the primaries by the voters of Bonner County as the Republican nominee for one of the County Commissioners’ positions, has publicly endorsed a Democrat man in District 7, and not the incumbent Republican woman.

Perhaps the many Democrats who registered as Republicans for the primary voting knew what they were doing when they voted for Ms. Broadsword.

How do local people who financially supported Ms. Broadsword in the primaries feel now? How do other Republican candidates in Bonner County feel now? Can any of them trust her now? Can the real Republicans in Bonner County trust her? Are the leaders in Boise laughing at or cringing about Bonner County now?

If this is an example of how her conscience works, it is apparent she feels Republicans are a “special interest group” that she refuses to support.
