The Flight 103 Presidency (You need to read this... and share it)
Yes. I know it is redstate.com. It is from one conservative to others.
We here at DU have no common cause with the writer, politically. But people like this are needed in order to save this country from Trump. His appeal to his compadres is real, and necessary.
And in the fight to save our Republic, he is an ally.
Read it.
And share it with ANY Republican friends or family you have that are at least 1% reachable and rational.

An excerpt below... that does not do the article justice. Trust me. Read the whole thing.
You can see it in the tone and tenor of social media as well as on the news. Weve had our share of Trump crises. But this is by far the most serious, and he has faced not only his fiercest backlash, but the most widespread within his own party. This is a moment.
Real conservatives know the phrase for such a moment. Its a time for choosing.
Why now and why this? In the large, its because we are finally facing the exposed, raw, real President that is Trump. He has finally marked territory that cant be unmarked. Even Steve Bannon said this was a defining moment for the Donald.
He failed us. In that defining moment, he failed you. He was inarguably late to condemn, he was wishy-washy, he made allowances and, to me, chief among the revelations of the past five days was his willingness to deliver praise. Listen to his words to hear what he says. That may sound redundant, but people are not doing it. Trump, in his outlandish plane crash of a presser on Tuesday, said that some among the Nazis and white supremacists who marched for racism and destruction in Charlottesville were fine people.
