We've had years of pundits talking about Republican failure to stand up to Trump as "cowardice" as if they're a bit too frightened to get on a boat to Normandy.  The best you can say is they're greedy assholes who would burn the country down for a career boost.  More likely, they're happy to burn it down for kicks.

As a longtime member of our glorious political press, Bruni should understand those impulses.
