Ann Ruiz: Trump’s taxes don’t really matter; he deserves party’s support

Do we, as voters, really give a hoot as to what Donald Trump’s marginal tax rate is? The question is: Can Trump surround himself with knowledgeable individuals who can help him move our country forward to the span of his pledges?

Opponents are encompassing Trump’s candidacy with accusations and innuendo. The Republican Party “biggies” and others should stop already with envy, resentment and sour grapes. It’s time to put aside ill will and disrespect. The presumptive nominee deserves support.

Ann Ruiz, Atwater
