The media likes to call Republican Presidents like Trump and Reagan "teflon" - since nothing apparently sticks to them.

But that is bullshit!

The real story is that the Republican Party is amoral, and has no standards at all for one of its own.

The ends always justify the means. (And the ends are always tax cuts and other benefits for the very wealthy.)
