They are not saving the nation. They are looting it. Disregard the op-ed.

Does the person who wrote the op-ed, titled "I am part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration" denouncing the president and claiming they are saving the country from Trump's worse instinct worthy of praise? Absolutely not and here is why.

However, I was attacked by shorter-term thinkers that just wanted to revel in the fight they see within the ranks of the GOP. It is a much more complicated situation than that. I hope that they eventually learn to think beyond the moment. We as Democrats need to see the long game and the big picture more often. Their fight will take place with or without our cheering them on.
