If the unnamed Congressman really feels this way, perhaps he should act and make statements in public expressing his true feelings about Trump instead of venting to a reporter in a Safeway.

He is part of the problem with partisan politics and politicians who don't lead with integrity.

He doesn't seem to be able to handle the responsibility of representing his constituents with integrity, he don't deserve the privilege of leadership.

The republicans who supported Trump- both elected officials and voters- deserve what they get with Trump.

What jmh said.

This made me laugh out loud in my office though:

"It's like Forrest Gump won the presidency, but an evil, really f*cking stupid Forrest Gump. He can't help himself. He's just a f**king idiot who thinks he's winning when people are b*tching about him. He really does see the world as ratings and attention. I hate Forrest Gump. I listen to your podcast and heard you hate it too. What an overrated piece of sh*t movie. Can you believe it beat the Shawshank Redemption?"

On the bright side it may suggest that a lot of these guys are ready to turn on him and lynch him at the first good opportunity.

Really? Do you say things in private about your company or your boss that you wouldn't say in public or to their face? If you are selling a product or a service, do you point out all the flaws and negative aspects that you might discuss in private?

Yes, really. I leave out the motherfucker, fucking idiot etc, of course, when I have a disagreement with any my bosses. I will have a discussion that helps me understand their reasoning and I share with them my point of view. That has always resulted in a positive outcome, for my boss, my companies and me. Likewise, if my product/service sucks or has shortcomings, I'm not going to sit and just complain about it, I'm going to make it better.

However, I would not condone actions that I knew it was harmful to the company, deceitful or morally wrong and I would certainly speak up. I have before and will do in the future. I value my integrity.


The unnamed Congressman had a a choice- speak with integrity, say nothing or perpetuate a lie. He choose the worse option in my view of the world- perpetuate a lie of his support of Trump in public and then bitch about him in anonymity. "Bad form" as the author calls it is kind. I'm not sure I could look at myself in the mirror.

Perhaps you and I have a different approach to those things. Mine has served me well, I'll assume that yours has served you well too.

Maybe you and I view the responsibility of serving in Congress differently as well. He as taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution... not his party, his own office or whomever is in the Oval Office. That responsibility and his actions may not be in line with each other.

Suffer Well.

Agree with jmh. The unnamed congressman isn't serving his constituents by remaining anonymous.

I've got clients that I think are fucking crazy or fucking idiots, or both. I sometimes share those thoughts with friends without disclosing client names. I would never tell the client or disclose my thoughts about them publicly.

Clients are different from your own organization or your boss. I still choose to keep my mouth shut about clients, that way it doesn't come back to hurt me.

But your view and comments about a Client is entirely different from misrepresenting your point of view in public about the President or your ideology to people who have entrusted you to represent them and then motherfucking him in private.

That Congress person is just as much as a problem. Lynch it too.

Prediction: this guy is going to put himself. Probably before his primary. In an OpEd. To instant celebrity. Wait until the intrigue in who this is grows. It’ll be impossible to resist taking credit. Worst case, if he loses reelection, he’s a CNN or MSNBC contributor.

Slowman, have you been hacked? There is no way Dan wrote this post.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

The poor punctuation and use of caps is a dead giveaway - definitely hacked.

It was me. On my phone, which autocorrects lower case. And decided out himself should be “put” himself.

It's Peter King from NY. A guy who made his bones railing against immigrant day laborers. In other words, one of the guys who paved the way for trump.

“Read the transcript.”

What's your source, because this suggests it's not King? Also, Erickson said it was a congressman from a safe red seat. Don't think there are many of those in NY.
