Stop Indulging Trump.
'John McCain, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and the rest of you: Its time to stop suggesting that Donald Trump doesnt represent you, because he does represent you. Hes your partys nominee, with your endorsements. Until you withdraw those, he has your blessing. Your permission.
And if you keep forgiving him and prioritizing your political survival over the countrys stability, he could wind up representing all of us.
Tell me that doesnt scare the bejesus out of you. Do it with a straight face. . .
I get it: If McCain and other congressional Republicans turn off Trumps supporters, they might get turned out themselves.
But as the Post interview made clear, Trump is already giving those supporters license to do as they wish. Besides which, isnt there a point at which principle must kick in? Arent there bounds to partisanship and personal interest? I ask that not in favor of Clinton or the Democrats but out of concern no, alarm for America, which needs a grown-up who honors our values, not a brat who shreds them.'
