WASHINGTON—At the end of a Senate subcommittee hearing on Tuesday morning, Republican Chairman Susan Collins didn’t switch off her microphone. Apparently speaking to Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat of the committee, Collins discussed the federal budget — and U.S. President Donald Trump’s lack of familiarity with the details of governing.

After Reed praises Collins’ handling of the hearing, held by the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, she laments the administration’s handling of spending.

“I swear, (the Office of Management and Budget) just went through and whenever there was ‘grant,’ they just X it out,” Collins says. “With no measurement, no thinking about it, no metrics, no nothing. It’s just incredibly irresponsible.”

“Yes,” Reed replies. “I think — I think he’s crazy,” apparently referring to the president. “I mean, I don’t say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy.”

“I’m worried,” Collins replies.

And that's the truth

1. They didn't hesitate to discuss their worries about the crazy man in the WH.

I suspect that this must be the prevailing consensus among a large segment of their colleagues. It must be a frequent topic of conversation, such that everyone is aware and agrees that Trump is crazy. They know what's coming at them, it's only a matter of time now, and they will be called on to act and remove the crazy man from the White House before he destroys the whole country. Can they find the courage to that?
