GOP resigning in protest of Trump Putin situation is DUMB and BAD

Don’t resign, fight to regain your party. Speak out, block nominations, join with the democrats, have some guts and do the right thing.
It’s a crumbled wreck of a party but resigning for, a cabinet position or from leadership of a political branch because you disapprove of Trump is just dumb and cowardly. He positions will be backfilled by Trumpbots and the cult gets more powerful.

Stand in the place where you are.

who will be even worse. If there really are Republicans with any shred of ethics in the Trump administration, then let them hold firm and speak out and defend their office as they promised when they swore the oath to protect, not any man, not any flag, but the Constitution.

Maybe that could get the ball rolling towards removal. For example Tillerson waited too long.

I am looking at you Jon Huntsman.
