Where are the sane Republicans?

When will GOP leaders realize that being against Trumpian chaos is not unpatriotic?

When will they understand that taking a stand against Trump – and removing him from office – would not be anti-Republican. After all, it’s not like Vice President Mike Pence is Hillary Clinton.

When will Republicans – in leadership or out – come to grips with the realization that not respecting Donald J. Trump is not disrespecting the presidency?

If anything, by continuing to hold their noses while this chump of a man weakens our country and makes a laughingstock of our presidency, Republicans are simply helping to lead us to greater shame and digging America deeper into discord and decline.
