Where are the Republicans with the immanent arrest of Donald Trump? Many are saying "we need to wait and see the evidence" as if this had any validity at all. What cowards.

Republicans should be leading the protests. This is banana republic stuff, Soviet or Chicom stuff. Republicans in Congress should hold a rally outside of the Capitol. They should be screaming bloody murder about this. This is so clearly political.

They should issue a summons for the prosecutor to appear. They should be doing a lot of things they are not doing. It is both good politics and the right thing to do. Their silence here speaks volumes.

We do not have an opposition party but rather two ships sailing in the same direction. One is loud and flashy, a stately galleon and a little bit ahead. The other is a poor little sloop. But they are heading to the same place.

The fact is their silence legitimizes this arrest. The Democrats understand this, which is why they always scream bloody murder when one of their own gets in trouble.

Even if the Republicans don't like Trump and wish him gone they have a duty to protect their own - and they should grasp that if they let the Democrats take him out they can take out anyone. In politics, as in war, you do not allow the enemy a victory. Every inch of ground must be contested.

Many Republicans still think this is just a normal political cycle and a disagreement. They don't understand that it has not been such since Bill Clinton, and even before - since the Democrats destroyed Richard Nixon.

Right now the Democrats know they can act in any manner they please and the GOP will stand there mute, like oxen facing a pack of wolves. There must be consequences.

If the public sees them remain silent they will believe that the GOP knows Trump is dirty, which means they lied to America and are not to be trusted. That this isn't true doesn't matter; politics is about perception, not reality.

So DeSantis, Mike Pence, Ted Cruz, everyone Trump has insulted over the years need to come out in his defense here. It doesn't matter what they think of him; he as a person is not the issue. The issue is will the Democrats be allowed to define Trump to the public and thus define the Republicans as guilty by association.

I despair of the stupidity of the GOP. These guys need to read a book once in a while. I would recommend The Prince by Machiavelli or Sun Tzu's The Art of War (something Donald Trump has read and employed on numerous occasions.)

It's not about Trump the man. It's about Trump the Republican.
