How a responsible Congress would react to Trump’s destructive purges

All this should remind us that Trump will never be a normal president, but he could be better contained if not for the Republicans’ obsequiousness. If they criticized his excesses, rejected unfit nominees, demanded compliance with ethical practices (including the Constitution’s emoluments clause) and did not pretend that he was behaving normally, he might have to shape up — if only a little.
Oh, and the right-wing evangelicals who claim character doesn’t matter should ask themselves whether sanity, stability and decency are, after all, essential qualities for the president.
Maybe it will take a midterm blue tsunami to convince them and other Trump apologists that character, temperament, diligence and willingness to learn should be the first requirements of the job, not afterthoughts.
