They are spitting on the foundation of what the country has stood for, blinded by selfishness, greed, power, racism, etc. They've been despicable much of my life but they've fallen to a new low.

Now, they're endangering the country and in doing so, the planet.

One of the outcomes of Watergate was the backslapping - "the system worked!! We got the crook out of the White House." A key component back then was there were enough Republicans who put the country first - ahead of Nixon - in part because we had a more concentrated core of media with people we trusted like Walter Cronkite.

We don't have enough of that kind of media reaching all Americans nor enough Republicans who would place the country first ahead of their party. So far, the system isn't working and I'm not sure it will before the 2020 election.
