10. I'm not sure we fully appreciate that the other side is as ruthless as it is.

Republicans will pounce on and exploit, or blow off any weakness that we display with no conscience whatsoever. Does this mean we should back off impeachment? Certainly not, but we do need to put our very best game on the table right now. If that game results in impeachment, so be it. If it doesn’t, and we choose to attempt to put the idiot in jail after the election, best we pray that we win in 2020 or we will have nobody to blame but ourselves.

I really don’t know what the answer is. All I know is that America is in a very serious situation and we better have a damn good, solid plan. This is not the time for weakness. Decisions can be difficult but the other side willing to fight very hard to 1) retain control, and 2) elect the fool again.
