81. Wrong!

Trump is the immediate problem and it damn sure matters whether he stays or goes.
He can do quite a few things as we have seen. The craven GOP won’t stop him.
If we do not get rid of him ASAP, he will continue to cause chaos.

In the long run, she is right. However, we are not going to have a long run if he or his ilk stays.

Her answer is short-sighted.
