But it should feel shocking. The president has used the nation’s foreign policy to conduct a grubby political operation. Had Barack Obama, George W. Bush or any other president in memory done even a fraction of what Trump has done, the reaction would have been widespread fury, and not just from the opposing political party. But the Republican Party has chosen to abandon principle for fealty to power. The best remaining hope is that voters will punish Republicans for their corrupt bargain.
