A Republican ready to take a stand on behalf of democracy and law is no longer a Republican. Liz Cheney is the poster child for this.

The GOP has been opposed to democracy for at least half a century. And starting with Nixon, has been opposed to the rule of law as well. The only endgame I can see is a mass public revolt against Republicans, turning the Party into a tiny rump cast out into the political wilderness.

Sadly, I know that's not how things work in America today, where politics has been reduced to the level of rooting for your favorite sports team and the reasons for liking team R or D are about as well reasoned as liking the Yankees or Mets.

Dear Prof, I agree completely.

Let me say that it seems that the last “special buddy” remained to Trump is Mr Putin.

Hardly a reassuring situation.
