Reply #26: Dangerous situation.

[longship]

I agree that the indictments could set up a very dangerous situation. But no indictments would be totally insane.

We've got the bastards. We need to follow through this thing no matter what. If things begin to go to hell in a hand-basket we'll have to deal with that also. We supposedly have a resilient form of government, or at least it's proved to be in the past. I'm not too cynical to put trust in it at this time. It's the only thing we have right now.

But Chimp has not only been bad at policy, he's been extraordinarily bad in leadership. We have had as close to a vacuum in leadership for five years as we've ever had. More than anything right now, we need somebody from our side of the fence to stand up and stand out as a leader. It's not yet happened, but these indictments may be a great opportunity for us to do that.

I'd embrace any Democrat who did that, even if I disagree with them on policy. It may be the singularly most important thing which can lead the country back from the brink. Make no bones about it; we are at the brink.
