Trump has consistently demonstrated ignorance of the Constitution and contempt for American values and for the rule of law. A constitutional crisis was inevitable from the moment he was elected. I am surprised by how quickly it has come. Over the next several months, the Constitution will be tested as it has not been tested since the Civil War. Republicans need to step up. I'm beginning to think they will. This is turning into a nightmare for them, too.  Only Trump's  paid liars are even attempting to defend his calumny against President Obama. 

When Trump is gone, perhaps the worst will be over, but the nightmare will continue.  We see in the health care bill that was proposed today, in the Muslim ban, and in so many other ways that these folks are determined to hurt people, and they are doing so. Trump is a reckless, emotionally unstable man; I don't think Pence is. But President Pence will be a nightmare of a different kind.
