The case against driving Trump from office

Quote
The campaign to make Donald Trump president of these United States was a terrible idea. The campaign
to drive him from office is a worse one . . .

. . . We cannot allow the current state of affairs, in which the loss of a presidential election is met with ever wilder
and more vicious attempts to immobilize the executive, to become the new normal. We cannot treat every lost
election as an illegitimate one — which is precisely the direction in which the Democrats have us pointed at the
moment. Our federal government already is dysfunctional, and that kind of banana-republic total-war opposition,
carried on without rest or relief, will lead to a country that is truly ungovernable and not simply acting ungovernable
for short-term political reasons . . .

. . . It may be that the investigations under way will turn up something of real interest, but there is nothing in
the known facts about the Trump administration that justifies the current effort to drive him from office. He’s a
lousy executive, high on rage and none too bright, venal, vain, and vicious, but we knew that when we elected
him. America could have had Mitt Romney or Scott Walker if the voters had so desired. They went in another
direction. You buy the ticket, you take the ride. In the immortal words of Ed Koch: The people have spoken,
and now they must be punished.
