    Robert Reich from Facebook (no link)

    I had breakfast recently with a friend who’s a former Republican member of Congress. Here’s what he said:

    Him: Trump is no Republican. He’s just a big fat ego.

    Me: Then why didn’t you speak out against him during the campaign?

    Him: You kidding? I was surrounded by Trump voters. I’d have been shot.

    Me: So what now? What are your former Republican colleagues going to do?

    Him (smirking): They’ll play along for a while.

    Me: A while?

    Him: They’ll get as much as they want – tax cuts galore, deregulation, military buildup, slash all those poverty programs, and then get to work on Social Security and Medicare – and blame him. And he’s such a fool he’ll want to take credit for everything.

    Me: And then what?

    Him (laughing): They like Pence.

    Me: What do you mean?

    Him: Pence is their guy. They all think Trump is out of his mind.

    Me: So what?

    Him: So the moment Trump does something really dumb – steps over the line – violates the law in a big stupid clumsy way … and you know he will …

    Me: They impeach him?

    Him: You bet. They pull the trigger.
