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.

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.

(12,051 posts)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.
