Had a Democratic president behaved the way Whiny Donny has

The republicans would have demand impeachment long ago. Yes, we know that.

But in that case, Democratic members of Congress would join the call.

Where is today's Republican Barry Goldwater? Where are Hugh Scott and John Rhodes - three Republican leaders who told Nixon he lost their support?

How can many Republicans stay silent?

Are their seats more important than their own dignity? Where are Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Graham? - all supposedly respected leaders who were humiliated by Trump during the campaign?

I don't know when Graham is up for re election, but I hope that an opponent will show that clip when he trashed his cell phone after Trump exposed the number.

Where are the young elected Republicans who think they are the hope of their party.

Don't the Republicans have their own version of Beto or Pete.? Young leaders who don't want their party totally associated with redeeming the disgrace in the WH.

I remember in 2016 I was envious of the younger Republican candidates.

Of course I supported Hillary but she, in 2016 was 68 and Sanders, of course, was 75.

In contrast, among the Republicans were (not that I would want any of them..):

Cruz 45

Rubio 45

Christie 54

Bush 63

Kasich 64

Fiorina 62

Santorum 58

Rand Paul 53

Huckabee 61

Graham 61

Jindal 45

Walker 49

So, yes, why can't any of them stand up and say: enough?
