They don't have to be precedents. They can be aberrations.


And in the end it will come down to the voters. When we see them in future pols, the first reaction has to be "unacceptable". It's up to us to not allow the bar to be lowered to Trumpian levels.

Someday several years down the road (I hope much closer to 2020 than 2024), some Trumpie will complain about the new president in a way that will tempt to you to say "really? what about...", basically calling him out on his hypocrisy. Our contribution to the cause has to be to resist that temptation. No "what aboutisms.."

Start with tax returns. We should never abandon our demands for their release in our pres candidates just because Trumpies tolerate it in Trump.
