Who can we call?

Say it isn’t so! Please don’t tell me there is no one in the Republican party who can see through this whole Trump charade. Surely, there are thinking Republicans who recognize the importance of government controls on unfettered capitalists such as the Robert-Rubin-type that triggered the housing meltdown. Who but the federal government can regulate the extraction industry dumping of toxic waste in our waterways? And Republicans should know as well as anyone why each state has an Insurance Commissioner whose function it is to control the sale of junk insurance policies: auto, home, and health. You have no idea what kind of stuff that gets approved in some states that should never be allowed to go national. But uninformed Republicans seem to think interstate sale of insurance policies would solve some kind of pricing problem. It would not. It would only create a race to the bottom. People would buy insurance policies thinking they were covered, and only find out otherwise when they were forced to read the fine print.
