      The core problem with Trump all along has been that he is a man of bad character; the specific, fundamental problems since the election are that he has placed his own personal interests over everything & been utterly unable to control his own emotions.

      That combination has taken Trump's natural vices - dishonesty, avarice, contempt for restraint - and accelerated them.

      This is Trump's fault. This is his doing. These are his works. This is why no future presidential campaign - primary or general - should overlook the question of character.

      I really wonder if, after this, McConnell is going to be able to hold his caucus together for relentless obstruction. This is an emotional reckoning for some Senate Republicans as they realize what they are part of, what they have permitted.

      "Don't cross Trump's demands to object to the electors, he'll tell people to vote for your primary opponent, and they will listen." "It isn't Trump's fault that people think the election was stolen, people make their own mind up without listening to him." Pick one.

          Are some of the rioters today left-wingers in disguise? May well be. May well be true of any riot that a handful of the troublemakers are agitators from the other side. But my general rule of thumb is that the bulk of any angry mob is who they say they are.

          In 1848, when Chartist protests presented a potential threat to the stability of the British government, the nation's elite - former & future prime ministers Peel & Gladstone, 1/2 of the House of Lords - joined a throng of ordinary Britons to take to the streets & preserve order.

          That was a nation whose leaders understood the stakes.

          Democracy can be messy & unruly, full of overheated rhetoric & angry protests. And that's fine. But there are lines that must not be crossed. And we depend upon the character of our leaders to police those lines.

          Another textbook example of the Charlottesville problem: some parts of this are fine on paper, but it's a terrible message in this situation to keep pounding the "stolen election" stuff and it's only going to make things worse. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1346928882595885058 …
