A question that must be asked... and answered.

[Scubamatt]

59. Convictions

First and foremost, we must investigate and convict the most egregious examples of crimes, grifting and treason. We must make an example of the likes of Roger Stone, Michael Flynn and even a Congress person or two - these are the folks who enabled Trump; the public must know that there are real world consequences to such behavior.

In that same vein, we must resist our tendency to ignore the problem "for the good of the country" or "to look forward rather than backward." The past 30 years (Reagan - Iran contra; Bush - Iraq) have shown us that when we don't make an example of Republican wrongdoing, they get the message that they can get away with anything and it only gets worse over time. You have to stand up to a bully.

Second, we need to learn how to message. Republicans -cheats, liars and cons that they are - are incredibly effective messengers, able to distill their positions into a five second sound bite or three word tag line. We drone on about policy for 10 minutes, losing the public. By wining the hearts and minds of the American people with effective messaging, we can make sure the Pub's don't get effective traction. Study the Lincoln Project Ads!

Third, as many others above have noted, we need to counter the multi-prong attack Republicans have made on voting. From gerrymandering, to all forms of voter suppression to chiseling away at Citizens United (it's about the Supreme Court, people!), we need to make sure that people are encouraged to vote and that their vote is counted. Republicans know that the only way to win is to suppress the vote, so so much of their playbook is devoted to that
