Good get by Greg. There’s a primary and all that, but this is consistent with a long-running pattern that genuinely anti-Trump Republicans and former Republicans are more prepared politically for the moment than the vast majority of elected Democrats and liberal elites.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.  You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
