The Republican’s Guide to Presidential Behavior

By THE EDITORIAL BOARDMAY 13, 2017

It wasn’t so long ago that Republicans in Congress cared about how a president comported himself in office. They cared a lot! The president is, after all, commander in chief of the armed forces, steward of the most powerful nation on earth, role model for America’s children — and he should act at all times with the dignity his station demands. It’s not O.K. to behave in a manner that demeans the office and embarrasses the country. Shirt sleeves in the Oval Office? Disrespectful. Shoes on the Resolute desk? Even worse. Lying? Despicable, if not impeachable.

Now seems like a good moment to update the standards. What do Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders think a president may say or do and still deserve their enthusiastic support? We offer this handy reference list in hopes of protecting them from charges of hypocrisy in the future. They can consult it should they ever feel tempted to insist on different standards for another president. So, herewith, the Congressional Republican’s Guide to Presidential Behavior.

Yet another instance of the NYT trying to dictate how Republicans should think and act.  Nope.  No one cares what you think, NYT.

Maybe if we didn't have a president who acted like a 13 year old "mean girl" encouraged by a bunch of followers.

Funny.... how the NY Slimes never seemed to have a problem with the Obama (and Hillary) lies.  And Barry's shoes on the resolute desk?  Showed the casualness of the display of his brilliance, of course.   

I hope their two remaining subscribers like this "piece".  It's definitely on a par with their other "stuff".

The NYT - 'nuff said; no point in wasting time reading that when I could be sorting the socks in my drawer.
