I think Trump's position is unethical and morally bankrupt.

But I also think most politicians would do the same. We need a better group of political elites. @edmorrissey hotair.com/archives/2019/…

Funny how journalists have memory holed this: "First, most people either never knew or have forgotten that Hillary and DNC were reaching out to Ukraine for dirt on Trump during 2016, only in a much more circumspect fashion, a point which Stephanopoulos fails to mention here."

"Let’s not forget too that the Steele dossier was also an attempt to use foreign sources for dirt on an opponent; Steele used his own Russian sources to get what now looks like a disinformation folio, manipulated to rattle the election in its own way."

In some ways, Trump is strangely being more honest than many; he is basically admitting he has no moral line he would cross. Others are lying about their moral lines all together.

None of this is new either. The weekend before the 2000 election, Democrats leaked GW Bush's sealed records on a DWI. That is every bit as unethical as this...but I have never heard of Democrats making those involved in that pay a price.

We need better political elites. That is the rub of it. Until we have politicians that care more about the country than their own power, none of this will change.

NARRATOR: NONE OF THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE.
