RISCH: No time to debate?

You have time to go “fly fishing” to make a campaign commercial, but you don’t have time to debate your opponent, Todd Achilles. Oh sorry, you refuse to debate him, I forgot! How embarrassing for you, the recent video where you ran away from Mr. Achilles at the Boise airport.

We the people would love to hear from you, answers to a number of questions that need to be asked and answered. You are really arrogant to assume we aren’t interested. You are asking us to hire you to represent us for 6 more years! You will be 89 years old before the end of term.

Meanwhile, you continue to abandon your constitutional duties and your oath of office. It is especially astounding considering your position of power as Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as you rubber stamp Trump’s war. You are no longer an effectual Senator. You have turned your head the other way from the corruption within this current administration, as your own reported wealth increases. I find it amusing that you also sit on the Ethics Committee. You have betrayed Idahoans and all Americans. Your bootlicking and doormat skills certainly outweigh your governing skills!

I will be voting for Independent Todd Achilles! I encourage Idahoans to learn about Todd Achilles at www.achillesforidaho.com. Time for you to get back to fly fishing. Maybe an honest debate with Mr. Achilles will change my mind? I’m looking forward to your response.
