If they let go they lose everything; their fame and status, not to mention money and lots of free lattes. Hate to lose those free lattes. So the choice is obvious; lattes or democracy. So hard to choose. And the really sad thing is that, for those in trump land, it isn't a hard choice. I f'ing hate these people. They are destroying my country.

and listening to people today downplay this who, 33 years ago were self-righteously shouting from the hilltops that an affair by the Preisdent is in itself an ethical disqualification, well, they've certainly moved a few metric tons of goalposts to arrive to the here and now.

Interested solely in attaining, keeping and wielding power.

Democrats would do well to keep that at the front of their minds.
