Iowa's lead paper: 'There are invertebrates that have shown more spine than Sen. Charles Grassley'

Grassley didn’t seem at all perturbed by Trump’s remarks about Judge Curiel, which have been widely denounced and described even by House Speaker Paul Ryan as the “textbook definition of a racist comment.”

The best Grassley could muster was this: “I would not say what Trump said.”

As Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. And when it comes to Donald Trump, there are invertebrates that have shown more spine than Sen. Charles Grassley.

He is the worst kind of party hack. He doesn't accomplish anything except obstructionism. I hope that somehow his blocking the SCOTUS nomination blows up in his face.
