I am a big fan of Tom Friedman and generally find his comments thoughtful and worthy of attention. But in this case, many equally knowledgeable commentators and more than a few notable Republicans are convinced that Trump and the alt-right have successfully neutered the Republican Party and there is no effective party apparatus or leadership remaining. So who or what are these Republicans, Tom Friedman is calling on to "fire" Trump? The Republican leadership in both the house and senate are firmly in Trump's camp if not his pocket. The arch conservatives have pretty much driven any moderate Republicans out of congress if not out of politics altogether. Even Trump himself in one of his twitter storms has declared that the remaining Republicans in congress are members of "his" party and he has no use for "Republicans".
So my question, "...who or what are these Republicans, Tom Friedman is calling on to "fire" Trump?" remains along with the equally important question, would Trump give a D@&* if they called on him to resign?

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
