(38,726 posts)...Republican members of Congress will be forced to comment on this mistake. And I believe that some Republicans will indeed stand up and strongly criticize President Trump.. This is wrong. And it is very easy to see that this is wrong. Yes, 25 -30 percent will think otherwise, but the great majority of people in this country know that it is wrong.
...It won't be easy for Republicans to stand up to Trump on this. But Trump has defined this 43 second video as an attack on a member of Congress. Many Republicans will indeed stand up to this. Why would they do that? This 43 second video steps over that line of decency that no one steps over. It is clear, and it is simple. We all know this is wrong. It is the major mistake that a leader does not make.
Why? ... 9/11 is off limits..43 seconds of vicious off limits attacks on a sitting member of the House of Representatives. The rest of the United States knows, but Trump doesn't know. Most Republicans know, and many will stand up in my opinion and condemn Trump for this video. Again, Trump has stepped over a line of decency. This is it. He doesn't need to do anything else. And....This is a clear impeachable offense. It is a vicious attack that steps over the line. And that will be the discussion for a long time... Not about passing this law or that law. Not about Russia or the funds for the military.. But whether or not this 43 seconds steps across the line of legal discussion right now in the U.S.A. by the President of the United States.
