Toxic!

Who's toxic?

He has managed to become so reprehensible, and he has made the presidency* so utterly toxic, that the real leaders of American business, and the real owners of the country, are running away from him [...] The ship, to borrow a legendary Irish newspaper headline, is deserting the sinking rats.

[...]

He has failed in every sense there is in which to fail. I, for one, am not willing to wait around for the super-hurricane or the mass killing terrorist event to realize that not only is the president* unfit for the office he holds, but he has no intention of ever becoming fit for the office he holds.

[...]

So far, we haven't seen anywhere near enough [Republican officeholders running away from him].

  Charles P Pierce

But, if corporations - who are the funders of Republican officeholders - are running away from him, how far behind can those officeholders be?

There is a lot of bold talk deploring white supremacy, and the Klan, and white supremacy. That and six bucks will get you a latte.

[...]

Say his goddamn name. Don't tell me how much you deplore racism in the abstract. [...] Tell me you deplore racism in the specific human being who's now president* of the United States. For anyone whose moral compass still points true north, that's the proper response. Otherwise, shut up.

Then, once you've named his name, distance yourself and your party from the polite policy manifestations of the racism that the GOP has tolerated for far too long, and that played such a big role in putting this small fractal of an American into the White House.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
