An ethical double standard for Trump — and the GOP?; Washington Post, 11/27/16

E.J. Dionne, Washington Post; An ethical double standard for Trump — and the GOP? :
"Republicans did an extraordinary job raising doubts about Clinton — helped, we learned courtesy of The Post, by a Russian disinformation campaign. Does the GOP want to cast itself as a band of hypocrites who cared not at all about ethics and were simply trying to win an election?...
If Trump wasn’t ready to put his business life behind him, he should not have run for president. And if Republicans — after all of their ethical sermons about Clinton — do not now demand that the incoming president unequivocally cut all of his and his family’s ties to his companies, they will be fully implicated in any Trump scandal that results from a shameful and partisan double standard."

  1. Trump has no conscience. He is vile and as Ted Cruz, (who is almost as bad) said: "pathological liar".
