From
USA Today:
...The question is not whether Trump has any decency left, but whether we have any decency left.
Trump
is not against the ropes. Not even close. Republicans are marching in
lockstep. What frightens me is that what Trump is unleashing, he cannot
control. When I look at what happened months back in Charlottesville,
Va., I realize it doesn’t take much to change a cadence — how easily
marching in lockstep morphs into a goosestep.
Flake
wrote, “We can no longer remain silent, merely observing this train
wreck, passively, as if waiting for someone else to do something. The
longer we wait, the greater the damage, the harsher the judgment of
history.”
True. But if Flake believes what he said,
he should go down losing. So should other Republicans fearful of Trump
or Steve Bannon or some other boogeyman with a slogan-branded hat.
If
sensible Republicans cede the playground to the bullies, the bullies
win. Flake said we can no longer stand silent. Talking while walking
away is not an improvement.
