Democrats are impotent, or soon will be. Republicans are setting the bar so low, but Democrats refuse to follow suit, the implication being that maybe they should.
Really?
There’s no honor, no high road anymore, thanks to Trump, just appearances and passive-aggressive posturing and thinly disguised zingers and defensiveness. Might as well cut to bare knuckle fisticuffs and pulling hair. This is what passes for a legislative back and forth nowadays. Only the best, most productive discourse among elected representatives who are often questioning each other’s pedigree and allegiances and intentions.
It’s a tragedy with a long shelf life, and really hard to watch. So, a lot of us don’t anymore. Watch, that is.
