The Republicans seem to be circling the wagon around the most corrupt President in US history. It really is appalling how complicit they are not only in the rise of Trumpism but the ignoring of all of the corruption that would have sent any other President packing long ago. This whole idea that calling for an impeachment inquiry will somehow hurt Democrats in the 2020 e******n is wrongheaded and beside the point. There comes a time in any politicians career when they must put country ahead of party. Todays Republicans in DC refuse to do that and up until yesterday Democratic leadership wouldnt do it either. The founders put the impeachment process into the Constitution for a reason. There is no clause in there that tells them to only use it when it won't hurt your re-e******n chances. When Richard Nixon was subverting the country 50 years ago it wasnt just Democrats who brought him to heel. It was Republicans in Congress who had a spine and knew what needed to be done for the good of the country. Now we have gutless weasals like Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham and John Cornyn...cowards all. Mike Myers, a former Mitt Romney advisor said yesterday that a Republican Senator told him that if it was a secret v**e, 30 Republican Senators would v**e to impeach Trump. I wonder if Ron Johnson is one of them? That is the problem in a nutshell right there. All but the most partisan hacks and talk-show squawkers know what Trump and his administration are. They have known it for a long time. But they have played along and propped up this c*********d slimeball for a handful of tax cuts and the ability to pack the courts with ideologues. Republican Senator Ben Sasse said yesterday that Republicans should not be so quick to come to judgement on the merits of the case against Trump. Maybe that will be the start. Maybe the complicity will end. Even Nixon had his supporters until the evidence became so damning that only a fool would have still given their support. We passed that rubicon long ago. Today's Republican Party is riddled with fools...or those who know the corruption that is rotting the country and refuse to do anything about it. You decide which is worse.
