This level of public disrespect for the President, and willingness starkly repudiate his leadership directly to a foreign power when negotiations of vital issues are ongoing, is a stunning, unprecedented split in our polity. The only thing to compare to it is the secession of the slave states. And the psychology behind it is in many ways similar.
I hesitate to use the T-word, is is so overused. But this is pretty damn close to the spirit of the thing.
