If the Republicans hope to retain the results of their electoral success
they must have the wisdom and courage to discipline the failures of the
executive branch even from within the mire of their legislative
failures. Were Trump an employee in any organization other than his own,
he would have failed his six-month probationary period, and now be
seeking other employment. His personal policy choices, his personal
personnel choices, his inability to integrate himself successfully
within the rest of the governmental structures, and his lack of interest
and self-education in governance in place of narcissistic exhibitionism
have lowered his place in presidential rankings past the point where his
continued presidency is a national security concern.
The credibility of the Republican Party rests on its ability, or lack
thereof, to control and to discipline Mr. Trump. If it is revealed that
his, and his colleagues', relations with Moscow (the one in Russia) form
a bigger swamp than the one in Washington (the one in the District of
Columbia) that is the result of a morass of financial interconnections,
the substance of which were not intended for naive eyes, then Mr. Trump
must be impeached. Whether the Republicans will accomplish that to
their credit, or the Democrats will be required to do it after their
impending return to power, is clearly an existential question for the
Greedy Obstreperous Patriarchs.
