(2,091 posts)I have been doing some thinking about the Wolff book. It is a sad state of affairs that virtually everyone working under Trump knows he is unfit. The worst kept secret in Washington, from what I hear.
Yet, as long as Trump is in power, nobody stands up to the insanity.
Still....I may be wrong.....but I think Trump is ripe to be primaried. People won't stand up to Trump, but if given a choice in a primary race, I think that someone could give Trump a real run for his money.
Yes, Trump still has his idiotic base, but even a few of them might waver given a strong alternative. As for the Republicans who are not in the Trump cult.....I think they could long for a sane alternative.
I don't know who that Republican might be, but by the time the election season gets going, and by then Trump is sure to show even more signs of his insanity.
We keep assuming Trump is going to be the opponent. Maybe not?
At any rate, Trump or no Trump, we need to take a collective look into the mirror. Elections have consequences. If we don't nominate a winning and inspirational candidate, we may lose the election.
