Republicans fiddled while Trump burned the place down. [View all]

They don't seem to realize that they are the majority and, as the majority, they have certain responsibilities. One of those responsibilities is to oversee the Executive Branch.

They cannot continue to act as if Donald Trump is some sort of alien that they have no control over. He is a Republican. He is the leader of their Party. They strategize with him when they need his signature on one of their crappy pieces of legislation. All other times, they pretend he doesn't exist.

They have a responsibility to help him fill the vacancies at the State Department and other departments of our government. They cannot say, "It's all on him." They are the majority. They have control of all the branches of our government.

Our country needs for the Republican Party to put down their fiddles and start doing their jobs. They need to face up to their responsibilities. The first thing they need to do is take the matches away from their President.
