These folks had the chance to bury Trump. This is on them.
John Bresnahan reports that GOP senators are stunned—and not in a good way—by Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for AG.

Trump's second term is shaping up as the culmination of a long-term evolution of a Republican Party that has moved from a suspicion of government to a juvenile rejection of of governing itself.
