The man is insane.

He is. Interestingly, the Mooch--who seems to be making the rounds of the talk shows nowadays--was on Chris Matthews in the last hour, and he seems to agree with that proposition. He now believes Trumpty's mental state is "deteriorating".

I found that mildly astonishing. Only a week or so ago I saw him, also on Chris's show, and his comments were much less strongly worded. He even seemed a bit tentative. Now he's saying Trump needs to be primaried. He thinks there're several good Republicans who could run and win. I think he's dead wrong about that; most of Trumpty's base wouldn't vote for a usurper. Ever, I think. Some would probably rather vote for Bernie.

The Mooch says further that there are some within the administration that feel as he does, and that we'll be hearing from them "soon". That would be fun, but--though many may be badmouthing Trumpty behind the scenes--I very much doubt we'll be seeing any Profiles in Courage from Republican leaders anytime soon.

Omarosa was also there, and she, too, lamented Trumpty's mental decline. There was also a guy called Verret, who'd been a member of the Trump transition team. He said there was no one good left in the administration, and that he'd vote for any of the Dem candidates if he has to.

I hope Trumpty caught the episode. If he did, I'm sure we'll be getting more nasty tweets about the Mooch.
