An Open Letter to Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell

Dear Paul and Mitch,

I know both of you have very tough jobs in that you have to deal with a president who his own secretary of state called a “fucking moron” and who has an approval rating of 38%. Yes, I know President Trump is still popular within the Republican Party, but he remains an impulsive 14 year old boy in the body of a 70 year old man. And he his failing in the most fundamental role a president has that of uniting the country. To the contrary he is dividing our country to an extent not seen since the Civil War and I was around during the Vietnam era.  You know it and I know it, but what are you going to do about it? Look for guidance in the words of Senators Bob Corker and Jeff Flake.

You have to think where President Trump is taking our country and the republic for which it stands. It is not a pretty sight. You have to get beyond the vote on the tax bill and the next Supreme Court appointment and think what your children will think of you twenty years from now. You do not want to be known as moral eunuchs who stood by as everything you believed in turned to shit.  Let me leave you with a thought as I paraphrase Mark 8:36, “For what shall profit a political party if it gains the White House and the Congress and suffers the loss of its soul.”

Yours truly,


David Shulman
