OPINION: Little, Risch and Crapo are betting heavily on Trump’s MAGA program

The envelope in my mailbox screamed out, “this ENDORSEMENT has IDAHO LIBERALS worried.” Fearing the worst, I gingerly opened the envelope, only to find that the liberals were supposed to be worried because Governor Brad Little had “received the complete and total endorsement of President Donald Trump in June.”  

We have had good reason to believe that the Governor was headed toward full-on MAGA. After all, his support for substantial cuts to Medicaid this session and his belief that parents who send their kids to private and religious schools should get a tax credit of $5,000 per kid, is right in line with the MAGA playbook. Little’s letter begged for campaign funds so that he can implement MAGA policy in Idaho for four more years.
