Title: The GOP’s moral rot is the problem, not Donald Trump Jr.

The key insight from a week of gobsmacking revelations is not that the Russia scandal may finally have an underlying crime but that, as David Brooks suggests, “over the past few generations the Trump family built an enveloping culture that is beyond good and evil.” (Remember when the media collectively oohed and ahhed that, “Say what you will about Donald Trump, but his kids are great!”? Add that to the heap of inane media narratives that helped normalize Trump to the voters.) We now see that, sure enough, the Trump legal team (the fastest-growing segment of the economy) has trouble restraining its clients, explaining away initial, false explanations and preventing self-incriminating statements. (The biggest trouble, of course, is that the president lied that this is all “fake news” and arguably committed obstruction of justice to hide his campaign team’s misdeeds.)

Let me suggest the real problem is not the Trump family, but the GOP. To paraphrase Brooks, “It takes generations to hammer ethical considerations out of a [party’s] mind and to replace them entirely with the ruthless logic of winning and losing.” Again, to borrow from Brooks, beyond partisanship the GOP evidences “no attachment to any external moral truth or ethical code.”

Let’s dispense with the “Democrats are just as bad” defense. First, I don’t much care; we collectively face a party in charge of virtually the entire federal government and the vast majority of statehouses and governorships. It’s that party’s inner moral rot that must concern us for now. Second, it’s simply not true, and saying so reveals the origin of the problem — a “woe is me” sense of victimhood that grossly exaggerates the opposition’s ills and in turn justifies its own egregious political judgments and rhetoric. If the GOP had not become unhinged about the Clintons, would it have rationalized Trump as the lesser of two evils? Only in the crazed bubble of right-wing hysteria does an ethically challenged, moderate Democrat become a threat to Western civilization and Trump the salvation of America.

Indeed, for decades now, demonization — of gays, immigrants, Democrats, the media, feminists, etc. — has been the animating spirit behind much of the right. It has distorted its assessment of reality, giving us anti-immigrant hysteria, promulgating disrespect for the law (how many “respectable” conservatives suggested disregarding the Supreme Court’s decision on gay marriage?), elevating Fox News hosts’ blatantly false propaganda as the counterweight to liberal media bias and preventing serious policy debate. For seven years, the party vilified Obamacare without an accurate assessment of its faults and feasible alternative plans. “Obama bad” or “Clinton bad” became the only credo — leaving the party, as Brooks said of the Trump clan, with “no attachment to any external moral truth or ethical code” — and no coherent policies for governing.

We have always had in our political culture narcissists, ideologues and flimflammers, but it took the 21st-century GOP to put one in the White House. It took elected leaders such as House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) and the Republican National Committee (not to mention its donors and activists) to wave off Trump’s racists attacks on a federal judge, blatant lies about everything from 9/11 to his own involvement in birtherism, replete evidence of disloyalty to America (i.e. Trump’s “Russia first” policies), misogyny, Islamophobia, ongoing potential violations of the Constitution’s emoluments clause (along with a mass of conflicts of interests), firing of an FBI director, and now, evidence that the campaign was willing to enlist a foreign power to defeat Clinton in the presidential election.

Out of its collective sense of victimhood came the GOP’s disdain for not just intellectuals but also intellectualism, science, Economics 101, history and constitutional fidelity. If the Trump children became slaves to money and to their father’s unbridled ego, then the GOP became slaves to its own demons and false narratives. A party that has to deny climate change and insist illegal immigrants are creating a crime wave — because that is what “conservatives” must believe, since liberals do not — is a party that will deny Trump’s complicity in gross misconduct. It’s a party as unfit to govern as Trump is unfit to occupy the White House. It’s not by accident that Trump chose to inhabit the party that has defined itself in opposition to reality and to any “external moral truth or ethical code.”

I'd say Satan. (although McAuliffe and Soros are worthy mentions who ought to be serving life-sentences at Devil's Island.)

Jennifer Rubin is one shameless whoring liar. And quite the Drama Queen, isn't she? This is one of the most bizarre alternative-universe/reverse-reality rants I've ever seen.

First, this pathological liar demands an exemption and immunity from ANY and all responsibility on behalf of the Democrat Party after having just FUBARed America under 0bammy during the last 8 years as a Saboteur-in-Chief. So missing from Rubin's rant are ANY and ALL of the Democrats usual crimes AND PROVEN attempt to hijack the Primary process against Sanders (SUCCESS!) and Presidential Election process (FAIL!)

Get a load of this buzz-word crapola:

Trump’s racists attacks on a federal judge, blatant lies about everything from 9/11 to his own involvement in birtherism, replete evidence of disloyalty to America (i.e. Trump’s “Russia first” policies), misogyny, Islamophobia,...[blah, blah].

Typical of her ilk, Rubin conveniently ignores ALL of the murders orchestrated by Clinton/0Bammy Inc to hide incriminating evidence of treason, the In-Your-Face Deep State collusion with Rubin's seditious whoring cohorts in the Media, their general FUBARing and division of America and our military, AND the ongoing Coup against a duly elected standing President of the USA. AND managed to blame the Republican Party (for I guess NOT succeeding in beating Trump with its lineup of Globalist Crash-Dummes during the Primary.)

Scott Walker and Rand Paul were neither globalists nor dummies. And I think Jindal was decent. There was an exceptionally good lineup of Republican candidates in '15 before Fox and the rest Trumped them all.

We haven't had a candidate with depth, maturity, and consistency since Ross Perot. His Televised lectures were thoughtful and worth their weight in Gold. Unfortunately he could not adapt to the childishness of American politics.

I thought his ads and speeches were good. When he came on TV with a 30 minute purchased air-time speech to make the case against going to war in Iraq the first time I thought he made his case.

Perot was an autocrat, not much different than Lyndon LaRouche. You say "consistency" yet he dropped out of the race, then tried to re-up. Earlier in the '80s his merger with GM, then attempted breakup, then loss of his company to them demonstrated to me that he was not capable of handling the corporate crooks of this world. So I always took him with a grain of salt.

I don't think Trump is going to run in '20. I'd like to see Rand Paul in the race.

All true. So good in fact that they put him in danger of losing the contract to digitize the SS records for his company,EDS,so he had to drop out of the race.

Then Bush started coming back in the polls,so he decided to run again.

Perot hated the Bush Crime Family almost as much as I do,and ran to try to prevent Bush from being elected.

Too bad aliens from Outer Space were trying to kidnap his family,making him drop out,huh?

Not so! Chicago air traffic control center had one of the biggest computers in the word. In the daytime it was used for air traffic control. At night it was used by the IRS during the seventies.

Perot was worth 4 1/2 billion dollars. There comes a point in a sane man's life were he says I don't need more money. What can I do with it, buy more trinkets? He lived a simple life style. He simply quit. He had enough to suit his needs for a lifetime. He was never in danger of losing anything or being pressured.

I don't know who told you that,but they lied. MIT and CAL Tech had larger computing systems. So did NASA.

Perot was worth 4 1/2 billion dollars.

Yeah,and we all know the last thing rich people want is more money,right?

There comes a point in a sane man's life were he says I don't need more money. What can I do with it, buy more trinkets? He lived a simple life style. He simply quit. He had enough to suit his needs for a lifetime. He was never in danger of losing anything or being pressured.

Complete and total HorseHillary. He hated the Bush Crime Family almost as much as I hate them,and what could possibly be better than to "Earn" another billion or so by making sure his enemy isn't re-elected?

And it is a FACT that practically one of the first things Bubba did after taking office was to invite Perot to the WH for the signing of the contract to EDS to digitize all the SS records. He sold EDS and bought a BUNCH of GM stock after that,and hasn't been heard from since he tried to take over GM and failed.

Then again,maybe it was the space aliens that kept him from taking over GM?

Perot didn't own EDS in '93. He married GM in '84, broke up in '85 and they bought him out completely in '86.

He started Perot Systems, Inc. in '88 and GM sued him over a 3 year no-compete agreement. It was PSI that he and his son ran in the '90s.

Perot endorsed "W" in 2000.

I believe you are wrong about this,and will check on it all as soon as I have time.
