It is time GOP lawmakers told Trump to go. They know it, but are too spineless to put country first

In the past few days, Trump has told the police they need to rough up detainees. He has behaved like a self-obsessed bully in front of boy scouts. He has told thousands of Americans who have put their lives on the line that they will no longer be welcome in any capacity in the forces. He has overseen his new communications director's foul-mouthed tirades against fellow Republicans. He has done nothing other than Tweet insults and threats at fellow Republicans during and after the healthcare debacle, and shown a level of ignorance and stupidity that has never been seen before. And I have not even mentioned those lying, creepy family members who gave testimony on their shady dealings with Russia to steal the election. He is now busily Tweeting away, threatening to remove the healthcare from congressmen, insisting on a new bill, after only yesterday claiming he was right from the start to say let Obamacare fail then do a bill.

If any one of these things happened in any other developed country, the president or prime minister would have to resign. Other lawmakers would not accept it. I don't believe there is a lawmaker in America that truly believes this is acceptable or good for the people of this nation or the world at large. Why don't they find a backbone. Look at Reince Priebus - treated like shit by Trump and the mooch, and all he can say is it was a good idea of Trump's for a reset. For God's sake, be a man and stand up for yourself. Don't be a quivering wimp. Your country needs you. Three GOP senators had the gumption to stop the healthcare bill that was a travesty. But this is about a lot more than even the 16 million people who would lose healthcare. We have a spiteful imbecile in the Whitehouse. He needs to go before he does any more damage. We can't wait for the GOP to grow a backbone. When are they going to stand up to Trump and put country first?
