Let’s not mumble or whisper about the central issue facing our country: What is this democratic nation to do when the man serving as president of the United States plainly has no business being president of the United States?

The Michael Flynn fiasco was the entirely predictable product of the indiscipline, deceit, incompetence and moral indifference that characterize Donald Trump’s approach to leadership.

Even worse, Trump’s loyalties are now in doubt. Questions about his relationship with Vladimir Putin and Russia will not go away, even if congressional Republicans try to slow-walk a transparent investigation into what ties Trump has with Putin’s Russia — and who on his campaign did what, and when, with Russian intelligence officials and diplomats.

Party leaders should listen to those Republicans who are already pondering how history will judge their actions in this wrenching moment. Senators such as John McCain and Lindsey Graham seem to know it is only a matter of time before the GOP will have to confront Trump’s unfitness. They also sense that Flynn’s resignation as national security adviser for lying about the nature of his contacts with Russia’s ambassador to the United States raises fundamental concerns about Trump himself.

1. His careless voters need to be overruled for the good of the country

And, fortunately, he is providing the legal means to do that. The record will show they were there before he was elected, and it was too predictable. Shame on them.

3. States have a mechanism

to repeal their Governors if they are unfit... No such repeal back door exists for president? Just asking. Any constitutional scholars hanging out here today?

4. Republicans skipped vetting Trump

...who was obviously unqualified. Everything was wrong from the get-go--all to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming #45. Republicans knew they and their agenda were toast and so threw out any semblance of honoring traditions or being rule abiding in order to bet the farm on this election and, with the help they got from our willing enemies, they pulled it off.

Someone had warned them...

Oh, wait...
