Republican Collusion and Wishful Thinking

11.24.19

To the editor:

Charles Blow argues that those who support Trump are devoted to his 'version of the truth and his version of reality.' But as suggested in his piece, like a life threatening virus, President Trump has infected the minds of many Republicans such that truth and reality no longer matter. This fact is what makes him so dangerous. If his political appointees were as reality based as the career civil servants who have courageously come forward to testify, we would not ... could not be in this mess.

President Trump is not going to change. Republicans in Congress are on trial figuratively if not literally. Or at least they should be. I would prefer to see an all out campaign by Democrats that is focused on the fact that the public is being lied to and manipulated by officials who are betraying their oaths of office. An ad campaign that juxtaposes the testimony of career civil servants with the bald lies of Republicans might impact some independent voters.
