This morning, Republicans are expressing their outrage over President Trump’s continued ridiculous behavior.
Just a brief reminder. You’re going to see a lot of this today.
But what you won’t see is any action — at all — to do anything about it.
Trump will continue to behave horribly. But, when push comes to shove, most of these Republicans will go back and support his legislative agenda.
These denouncements of Trump’s boorish behavior allows them to look better than Trump for a minute. For a handful of minutes.
But what it really shows is that there are people who know better — who know that this is wrong — who are doing absolutely nothing.
This doesn’t make them better than Trump. Just complicit.
