GOP Probably Won't Do Anything About Trump Corruption.

Trump's administration will be just outright corrupt. Conflict of interest is only part of it. The malfeasance will go much deeper and will be secret. Even though his activities will be a national security risk the GOP will overlook all of it. The GOP is just as corrupt as he is. There are no policemen on the beat so we will see one of the most corrupt eras that we have ever seen.

I do not see any outrage or petition moving the GOP to do anything. Hillary was guilty of NOTHING. The real crooks and criminals of the GOP found a way to prevail this tie.

It's up to Elizabeth and Bernie to lead the way and show the American people which party they should trust.

be a producer of a TV program a network and not influence news coverage on the network, it is mind boggling.
This guy makes Putin look honest.

Pence is running the show. All of the big name appointments have his fingerprints all over them - incompetent patsies or malicious Tea Party types hellbent on destroying entire agencies.

Replace it with 'absolutely'.
You're right that corruption is the coin of the realm now.
The rule of law and the Constitution are nothing but historical footnotes when it comes to today's GOP government.
We have suddenly been thrust into a true banana republic and god only knows what happens to America from here on.

I fear that our children will never know the freedoms that have been the cornerstone of our country.
They will grow up in a horrific new world like the ones we have only read about in history books.

middle name. Now, what's shocking is that I don't think DEMOCRATS are going to do anything about it, either. Oh, I think Bernie and Elizabeth and Cenk Ugyur will holler about it, but that's all. They are considered progressive whiners, so they won't be able to actually do much. The corporate Dems will just fold like they always do.
