Republicans Need to Have That Nixon Conversation With Trump — Now
It matters not your political affiliation, if Trump hopes to effectively lead our country, his "come-to-Jesus moment" is right now. And as the article strongly suggests, it's Republicans who must bring Trump back to earth.
Just a question: do you see the GOP going full-tilt after Trump? I don't see them even opening Pandora's Box to see what may be there, so a full investigatin is highly unlikely ... unless they feel enough heat that it affects them personally. With highly gerrymandered districts, that seems unlikley. So it's another Catch-22: to achieve goal B, goal A must be achieved first, but goal A can't happen without goal B taking the lead.
I thinnk we have 4 years of Trump. It may go 8 if the suppression of all opposition leads to election "management" by the the current PTB.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
