One frustrated. angry Republican Speaks out: Headline quote

Michael Gerson, long time Republican-Conservative writer and GOP strategist .....speaks his mind! (His direct quotes, comments below...) or go to: Washington Post. Nov. 12,2020
Quote:...."This is politics at its most transactional. Trump was being hired by evangelicals to do a job — to defend their institutions, implement pro-life policies and appoint conservative judges.

".......But now
we know what a president without character looks like in the midst of a
governing crisis. We see a dishonest president, spinning lie after lie about
the electoral system. A selfish president, incapable of preferring any duty
above his own narrow interests. A reckless president, undermining the
transition between administrations and exposing the country to risk. A vain
president, unable to responsibly process an electoral loss. A corrupt
president, willing to abuse federal power to serve his own ends. A spiteful
president, taking revenge against officials who have resisted him. A faithless
president, indifferent to constitutional principles and his oath of office....'
....."How could such a thing happen in the GOP? It is not an aberration. It is the culmination of Trump’s influence among Republicans, and among White evangelical Christians in particular. Their main justification for supporting Trump — that the president’s character should be ignored in favor of his policies — has become a serious danger to the republic...."
