The Republicans need to acknowledge that the emperor has no clothes.

For Chrissakes! He stood on the world stage and farted loud enough to be heard around the world.

Then he said he would be ready to drop bombs on the heads of those people he already attacked if things did not work out in his favor.

And declared that anyone who would suggest that he "lost the war" would be a "fool".

The Florsheim Cabinet has stood by and smiled as he destroys our country brick by brick and institution by institution.

They watched him tear down the East Wing of the White House and pretended it was no big deal. They watched him put his name on the JFK Memorial and said nothing. If it did not harm them personally, they did not care what he did.

The Republicans are watching this debacle with the rest of the world and have their hands in their pockets (and your pockets), looking up at the sky.

It is time to acknowledge reality.

NONE of us want to see that!

But, yeah, what you said: I fully agree. And we need to hang this disaster around the necks of every elected Repuke who has failed to speak out against this monstrosity, which is nearly every one of them. And it also taints those who are candidates and on the orange bandwagon.
