I am glad to see that he is worried and writing about the mess in the WH, but the focus on the man-child and not the entire republican party is a bit naive...yes, he mentioned the republicans at the end and said it was disgusting, but he also asked why?

I think the answer is very clear, many of these republicans are also compromised, the don't care about the country, all they care about is being power and putting a lot of money in their pockets, they have no principles, the fought hard to get someone like the man-child in power (the idiot who can use a pen), although at first they were apprehensive about him because of his unpredictability, but now they are enjoying the ride, the idiot signs anything they put in front of him, he loves the photo-ops and the applause, and he doesn't even question what is in that document he is signing on...what else can be more perfect for corrupt people?

People have to vote the repugs out of office, it is the only way to get rid of them, and I would say, don't impeach the man-child, just make him a lame duck because Pence or Ryan are not good choices, unless of course Pence and Ryan are wearing orange suits, then go ahead and impeach.
