but your friends in the GOP know full well the way it comes to offering active resistance to them you and your friends are not going to do squat. For one thing the changes that is the fact that you do respond when we break out the pitchforks and torches. Not that you have not deserved that for years, especially as you would often leave us and Obama out to dry. Sorry, it will take more than just wagging fingers, because as much as we admittedly don't want to go ahead and deny the GOP 1 inch of rope to hang themselves with we realize that won't work as well unless the GOP is forced to actively fight for what it wants. You folks are supposed to be the ones making sure the GOP has to fight for every gasp of air, for every half inch. In short it is your job to give Trump at least as hard a time as you helped allow the GOP to give Pres. Obama. As we have not seen a lot of that from you, we are not holding our breath, so either get to doing what you're supposed to be doing for the past 10 years, when you told Mr. Bush that on "impeachment was off the table", what do not be surprised if you find yourself trampled by a stampede of angry liberal voters will be carrying someone to your throne.

One note, if you actually were to act as a liberal gadfly to Trump, I would be the first to lay the finest gifts at your altar; but the fact is I have not seen a lot of that, and you have not given me much reason to believe that you would. I dare, beg and yes challenge you to prove me wrong.
