Discussion: Top Democrats Shy Away From Using Word 'Treason' With Trump

The party, according to two congressional aides who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss strategy, doesn’t have an answer.

Just perfect.

Take your time. It’s only the country and our values at stake, nothing major.

Blobby is a traitor . There .

I think bungler, incompetent (and dotard) are far better words anyway. And I think it’s these words that are playing in people’s heads all across the land, and they’re the ones that need to be affirmed.

There’s almost a certain glamour to being a traitor and while Trump quite obviously has become one, and I’d love to see him in the dock on that score someday, he got to being a traitor by being the complete stooge that he is on the most basic level. He’s such a dupe and so dumb he doesn’t even fully grasp that’s what he is.

And that’s how he should be painted. Too big a dolt to lead.

Fred Kaplan had a good article on Slate about the constitutional/legal and political problems with this word.
