This is more tension-filled than Watergate was... [View all]
those of us who were around in those days recall the drip drip drip and then the sudden WHAM!!! of the big disclosure whether it was the existence of the taping system or the Saturday night Massacre or the trip over to the WH by Goldwater, Scott, and one or two other Senators to tell Nixon he was done.
But this...THIS! is beyond all that...this miscreant lowlife who was blowing little people out of the water with his threats, bravado and bluster finally entered the big leagues and as with everyone who gets involved at that level, he has found out that he is quite vulnerable and going down like the Titanic or the Lusitania.
What I don't get is how the Republicans didn't go after him: I'm certain their oppo research knew all this stuff and they gave him an almost-free pass. Bush, Cruz, Kasich, Pataki, are all old pros and should have stopped this guy in his tracks. But the media was allowed to give him a free ride, and with his 100% name recognition and his penchant for lying through his teeth and his insults, he bullied his way to the top, just to find, as though he were the lead character in a Shakespeare play, that he has far to fall. And quickly at that.
I think that the powers that be decided enough is enough and went after him full-bore. I'm certain we haven't seen the end of this play whose ending may take place in the Castle Keep with an angry soliloquy playing at the end of this four-year drama.
