(13,877 posts)But it is of high importance, to be sure. My take is that the Republicans first need to be stymied by our capable Adam Schiff... with constant attacks on The Cretin's malfeasance. Having control of the House is great, and the Committee Chairman switching to Democrats, but it's not a blank check like the Republicans had with both House and Senate.
Harder then we think to get true change done, due to The Turtle, until the American people SEE...on their TV with public hearings, the trainwreck and imposter he is. And the solid Red Wall starts to crack a bit...worrying about their own re-election. Because that is first and foremost...always their concern.
Of course not the30% or so who would support The Cretin shooting someone on 5th Avenue, but the Independents, the first time voters, the Blue Wave of support we saw in the Midterms. The Base Base will always be with us...sadly. But their percentage goes down, as the voter registrations and voter participation goes up carried by the Blue Wave, and by the aging out...i.e. old white men...dying off.
This will take awhile, but to go charging into serious battle with them, knowing that in the end they may have the upper hand getting anything passed, let alone not Vetoed. Also full well knowing that campaign rigging and illegal processe, etc. is how they got some of the big wins they did, we need to be judicious and cagey...calling Nancy Pelosi...about how we progress. I trust she'll know what is best, what is achievable and will have no problem carrying it out.
Also, to make them even more rabid about it, many in Congress would not have been there without these illegal acts and may not get re-elected were it successful in putting in new regulations.
To me, the greatest problem at this time, is the dimwit newcomers challenge to her leadership. What we don't need is egomaniacs learning on the job. Let's talk about her in two years, while she trains her successor. I'm hoping for Beto, myself. He's got enough state rep experience to go on a steep learning curve...which it will be.
We've waited 8 years for this. We have to get it right the first time. And again, although I'm not that especially fond of her, Nancy is our Ace in the Hole.
