I've seen a lot of comments saying he should step down. Lots of people talking about how unfit he is for office.
Allow me to increment.
He should step down. Ideally into a pit of lava, but that's just a stretch goal.
Sadly, these calls aren't coming from within the party itself. The GOP is fully in lockstep with Trump, while the Dems are - once again - stabbing one another in the back as quickly as they can swing the knives.
We should really take a lesson from the '80s Republicans, who had absolutely no problem pursuing their agenda despite a President who literally had Alzheimer's during his second term.
Second term Reagan was, famously, not great for Republican election prospects. They lost a full eight Senate seats in '86.
Dems love to ruin everything for themselves in the 4th quarter.
Oh no republicans are in charge! The donors to my political campaigns will be so disappointed!
It's almost like it's impossible to represent everyone with only two political parties.
I'd say the deeper root of the problem is Congressional districts that encompass 600,000 residents each.
Capping the number of House Reps has turned the local political class into a gaggle of celebrity fundraisers and mega-bundlers.
How many people have actually met their Congressperson, much less a Senator?
Maybe the Hawaiians could volunteer a volcano?
That sounds like a great way to piss off a god, which god would want DRUMF as a sacrifice?

Y'know what? Fair!
