David Brooks, in his dump-Trump oped of March 20, 2016, quoted extensively from the Bible in an attempt to advise Republicans on what to do about theTrump “reality”. He quotes from Psalms a piece of good advice, but one that no known Republican would ever be able to follow. It is simply not in the Republican DNA, even though it is probably best path out of the mess that 35 years of Reaganism has visited upon the country. The biblical reference is worth repeating, and is paraphrased here from the Brooks article: (italics mine) “in the face of demagogy, to go the other way, to make an extra effort to put on decency, graciousness, patience and humility, to seek a purity of heart that is stable and everlasting.” Does that sound like any Republican you know? Have any of these qualities ever been evident in any recent Republican action, or in the case of the current Senate, inaction?
