It is all well and good for Republicans to condemn President Trump's appalling boot licking capitulation and surrender to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Finland today.
But it won't mean a goddamn thing unless one Republican has the guts to challenge Trump in the 2020 GOP Primary.
Yes, I know full well that this challenger shall lose to Trump. This person can expect to be spit upon and despised by the conservative base.
But a sitting American President cannot give a Russian dictator the benefit of the doubt while discarding the advice of his own appointees and impugning the character of men and women who have sworn to uphold the Constitution in the service of our national security without consequence.
Senator Ben Sasse can say Trump is acting from a position of weakness and Senator Jeff Flake can call Trump shameful but what the hell are they going to do about it?
