In reply to the discussion: Carl Bernstein: Republican leaders privately questioning Donald Trumps mental state [View all]barbtries
(28,787 posts)19. at this point this pisses me off.
his illness has been apparent for years. i've recognized it since he came down the escalator (never watched or listened to him previously).
the reason they're talking about it now is probably because their phone lines are constantly ringing from constituents telling them he's making terrible choices, and they will pay at the ballot box for their support. if it wasn't happening, they'd still be rubbing their hands together in glee thinking about all the ways they'll destroy Obama's legacy and get obscenely rich doing it. His mental state should not be news by now - it's obvious and always was.
question is, will they ever decide to prioritize the country's needs over their own craven desires?
