It's possible to be deeply concerned about that -- Just who's running this country? -- and yet grateful somebody is standing between us and Trump's meatheaded ideas. And it's possible to be both those things and yet appalled at this person's failure to be as large as the crisis demands.

To the contrary, he or she shows the jellyfish spine and bunny rabbit bravery common among Republicans these days. Real courage would've required the writer and the "many Trump appointees" he or she says are part of this to quit their jobs en masse, find a public forum and speak the obvious truth without hiding behind the cloak of anonymity. Namely, that this tantrum-throwing child is unfit to govern.

Instead, we get this anonymous rationalization. It impressed MSNBC host and former Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough, who wrote that we should be grateful to these people for stopping Trump from "creating an existential crisis for the country." Which is laughable. Trump is the existential crisis, but they're OK with trying to manage it from behind the scenes because tax cuts.
With apologies to James Comey, these people need to discover a higher loyalty. Until they do, the assurance they offer is empty.

There are no adults in that room.
