Carl Bernstein on Friday urged Republican leaders to stand up to President Donald Trump by taking a page out of the GOPs Nixon-era playbook.
The famed Watergate reporter noted how the top GOP leaders in Congress in 1974 marched to the White House and told then-President Richard Nixon he had to leave office because of what he had done to undermine the national interest through his reckless and outrageous and illegal acts during the Watergate scandal.
Something similar is needed now, Bernstein said on CNNs New Day, describing Trump as dangerous and not capable or stable enough to lead the country.

I've noticed the only Republicans that stand up to him are the ones not running for re-election. The rest keep kissing his ass.

B. If they did it wouldnt work. Nixon resigned because it was that or the Senate would vote to convict once he was impeached. That ship has already sailed.
