Poor David Brooks, determined to continue his support for Gov Romney and running out of rationalizations to extol his candidacy. 

I go with the commenters who cried Marlarky! But the following comment is worth sending on:

JBC  Indianapolis  NYT Pick

Best piece of satire you've written in years, Mr. Brooks. Almost made me spit out my morning coffee. A real knee-slapper.

But seriously (since you weren't). 

"But Republicans in Congress would probably go along. They wouldn’t want to destroy a Republican president."

This is the problem. The question should never be about supporting or destroying a president, it should be about advancing the nation and its citizens, something Republicans seem to have little interest in doing anymore. We've made it all about the politicians instead of the body politic.
