I liked Rep Kevin McCarthy’s R-CA statement yesterday not because I necessarily agree with it but he seemed concerned about how to deal with the situation in what seemed to be a considered manner. Too many took the easy political routes of excuse making or revenge. How many were concerning with their careers rather than what would be good in the long term for the country. Nixon and Ford faced a similar dilemma and I think did well. President Trump in my mind has 6 more days to help diffuse the situation and put the ball in someone else’s court. I’m not optimistic for that nor that many will act for the benefit of America; although almost everyone will claim to have done so.
