No Gloating

News report indicate that the Trump campaign is imploding.  Manafort has "checked out", Trump's staff is "suicidal" and his adult children can't control him.
Finally, the news media is calling Trump out for his name calling, Trump's denials of his previous statements, his lies, his total lack of knowledge of foreign affairs and recognizing that Trump AND Pence are allowing their supporters boo military families.  Talking heads are now including people who know Trump first hand and discuss his mental instability as well as psychologists who discuss the mental issues that Trump presents.
Prominent Republicans, like Meg Whitman, are stating that they will vote for Hillary Clinton and raise funds for her. 
Republican leadership is in a tough position, sure.  This is the time when they can become profiles in courage or go down in history as weak pseudo-leaders who allow their party to take the country to a very dark place.  It's like they are allowing our country to sink to the level of a third world country.

Finally, it's time.  If the Republicans can fix this, I won't gloat.  I will respect their courageous decisions to put their party and the country as a whole back ahead of the support for a demagogue on the right track.  Yes, it's time.
