As Republicans set Trump aside, Democrats can't let him go

There is a Chinese fable about an older and a younger monk. They encounter a woman who implores them to carry her across a stream. Having vowed no contact with women, the monks face a dilemma. Nonetheless, the older monk immediately puts her on his back and transports her across.

As the hours pass, the younger monk’s indignation builds until he can no longer contain himself, and he confronts his companion. The older monk simply replies: “I set the woman down hours ago, brother. Why are you still carrying her?”
