It is no news that some Republicans have opposed Trump all along and do not support him as President. Anyone with a pulse knows that their opposition is budding into an insurrection, and some even make the case for a full blown putsch, as does Hoover Fellow Richard Epstein in "Presidential Chaos."
Although, "the Republican case against Trump is in the whispering phase, as no one wants openly to state the obvious," Epstein does just that. He argues that because a self-inflicted "perpetual state of dysfunction and chaos" has claimed the Trump presidency, he instructs "cooler heads in the Republican party to have a heart-to-heart with a stubborn President Trump, to create the needed political momentum for him to leave office -- for the good of his party, and, most importantly, for the good of the nation."
Since there are no grounds for impeachment by either party, he suggests Trump be ousted by Republicans to prevent Democrats from controlling the narrative.

So there really aren't any substantive grounds for his overthrow. It really comes down to the individual, the way he governs, the way he acts, and the chaos that flows in his wake, which is damaging the party and the country. If these were legitimate grounds for a legitimate ouster, pretty much every President would be vulnerable
Why don't these self-righteous senators and provocateurs who think they are America's last best hope just stab the guy to death? It doesn't sound like they'll have a problem finding a Brutus. Et tu Jeff Flake, John McCain, Lindsay Graham?

Sounds to me like a good excuse for martial law....
I think all who vote Republican should consider ousting their current GOPPER who does not rationally support Trump and his programs. Trump has done far more good so far than bad...just think about Obummer and what he has left us.
The irrational GOPPERS such as MCain who is a traitor from everything I have ever read and his continued cover up of the MIAs and POWS in Vietnam, they should be considered to be blackballed. Never given a chance to continue with their hypocrisy.
The deep state has obviously decided to jettison the normal rules of conduct.
We ain’t gonna win by continuing to observe them.
“But the real damage will be inflicted by the latent coup from within his own party. It is not so much presidential chaos, Professor Provocateur, as it is party chaos”
That’s certainly the truth. There would be nowhere near this level of “chaos” if Trump were just allowed to do his job without being attacked on purely personal and irrational grounds at every turn, both by the left and by the GOP. The press and the left - and, yes, some of the GOP - seem to have forgotten how they screamed about the inoffensive George Bush. But that was just a warm up for their treatment of Trump.
The latest buzzword is “chaos”.
I see all kinds of articles, and I’ve been talking to a whole bunch of Liberals (I’m in MA so it’s unavoidable) and everything lately is always chaos, chaos, chaos.
But Trump is getting stuff done. He has had many judges confirmed. He has had lots of legislation passed. He has had successful foreign trips. The economy has greatly improved.
Where is the chaos?
He’s been changing his staff? Who the hell cares? Why does that matter? Why is that interesting?
I think he’s doing fine. And the idea that the Republicans might unconstitutionally try to oust him is deeply, deeply disturbing.
Good article.
You have to understand the context from which they are speaking.
TPTB have managed to construct a complete parallel government, as opposed to the one we the cattle thought we had, right under our noses. They are where they are because they have excelled at operating in that environment, and they like it that way.
In walks Trump who has gotten into one of the key public positions by using one of the antiquated mechanisms TPTB thought they had successfully reduced to irrelevancy.
This is NOT the way it was SUPPOSED to happen!
>>”cooler heads in the Republican party to have a heart-to-heart with a stubborn President Trump, to create the needed political momentum for him to leave office — for the good of his party, and, most importantly, for the good of the nation.”
Cooler heads? How about room temperature? That’s what a sane nation does to traitors.
>>Where is the chaos?
It is in newsrooms, faculty lounges, and the board rooms of MNCs—places where American Exceptionalism and National Soveignty are dirty words.
Legislation? What meaningful Legislation has passed that has created a camera opportunity for Trump to sign? There has been none. Everything going on at present has been by Executive pen and the “hope” something will come to fruition. A market that is betting on change coming but has yet to truly realize it. Companies are reporting record profits but the dirty little underbelly not being told is the offshoring of jobs to realize those record profits. Mark my words, If this time next year meaningful legislation does not pass entailing real tax cuts, Obamacare gone and the scaling back of Government the markets will adjust and it won’t be pretty.
How bloody pompous. They are as out of touch with reality as the Dems.
Screw them - if they force Trump out, then they will REALLY see chaos. (And I'm not thrilled with Trump, but he is our duly-elected President and I will "resist the resistors")
Where are your previous predictions that we should take your current ones as anything but sour grapes.

Trump has signed a lot of legislation. Maybe you think Jeb could have done better?
Touche’
Message to Republican Members of Congress: lead, follow, or get the heck out of our President's way. See you next election cycle.
The Republican Party refuses to give up globalist corporate cronyism in favor of the working man/woman. Neither party represents the forgotten American.
I wish I could find fault with your prediction.
The perceived dysfunction is actually change in progress.
What was is not. the perceived dysfunction is the result of transition from the status quo
Conservatives can’t tolerate change. Amazingly, the GOPe in resisting change has become set in it’s ways, conservative.
