Log Cabin continues to mull Trump endorsement
As Donald Trump continues to make provocative and controversial comments with fewer than 100 days before the general election, Log Cabin Republicans continues to mull whether to endorse him for president. Gregory Angelo, president of Log Cabin, said Monday hes unable to predict whether Trump will receive an endorsement from the organization.
Any inclinations I have right now would be pure conjecture at this point, Angelo said. I clearly have members around the country sharing their thoughts and opinions with me as Ive traveled around on behalf of Log Cabin Republicans, especially over the course of the last three months, but thats all just anecdotal at this point.
The board of directors, Angelo said, will make the endorsement determination no earlier than during an upcoming meeting in late September in D.C. The exact date for the meeting isnt yet decided, and as is customary for Log Cabin board meetings, the discussion wont be open to the public, Angelo said.
Prior to the board meeting, Angelo said Log Cabin intends to solicit information from members on a potential Trump endorsement in two ways. The first will be a survey of the 48 local Log Cabin chapters throughout the country on whether an endorsement is appropriate. Second, the organization plans to seek comment from dues-paying members on Trump as part of a quadrennial survey set for distribution after Labor Day.
