I'm all for holding him accountable. However, I'm not going to launch a campaign create a national holiday celebrating the political media. Why not? Because I don't believe they're holding him accountable out of principle, which means I don't think they'd hold a politician they like better accountable. Suddenly they put credence in anonymous sources. Suddenly leaking is OK. Suddenly the subject of leaks is what matters rather than the source. Suddenly they call politicians liars. Suddenly exposing classified information to potential enemies is a terrible thing. You have to be consistent to be credible.
In other words, they're behaving like politicians typically behave. I'm not saying it's OK. It's not, but how the GOP is handling Trump is not at all unique. It's typical. Do you believe that Democrats would be calling for impeachment if a President Hillary Clinton had fired James Comey (which she almost surely would have)? Surely not. They'd be all for it.
