No, he is POTUS. We give our president's virtually unlimited power. Really. The founders did that because (1) they believed no human elected to the position would be as arrogant and criminal as trump is and (b) they assumed that even if (1) did happen, the house and senate would simply remove the problem.
They never envisioned that the president would be complicit with the house and senate to destroy our democracy, but that is where we are.
The gop simply doesn't care. As long as they get to rob the treasury and become rich enough to sin with impunity, they will be happy in the end.
You seem to think they are panicking. They aren't. They are flailing; there is a difference. If Trump weren't a gutless wonder, he would have fired muehler back in April when he was appointed and shut the whole thing down. The republicans would have gone along with that also.
What you view as panic is just ineptitude. The spirit is willing but the mind is weak. We are lucky in a way that they are so feckless. A competent crook would have us all living under a fox news monopoly and the internet would be locked down tighter than in china. We may still get there, but not under this fearless leader.
And be suspicious of this big blue wave. The gop has countless ways to attenuate it. Russia is still active and gerrymandering is still in place. People are easily divided. Especially democrats.
GOTV is about all we can do in the end. But if people decide to stay home, if they believe there is no real difference between the parties (because that will rusiia's and fox's message from now till 2020), if they get pissed off their precious candidate didn't get the nomination, then we will see that blue wave dissapear and we will have trump forever.
