UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President




I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:


Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;


Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;


Cowardice: I’m scared of Trump and his voters and need to go-along to get along with my GOP colleagues;


Moral rot: I know the difference between right and wrong, and actively chose wrong.
 
The one thing I must say about Trump is that he’s certainly demonstrating how to effectively mobilize your party and ensure that you vote in the manner we desire. Regrettably, the Democratic Party lacks the ability to govern in this manner.
