7. We really need to dispell this notion. Take away the rallying point for his base.

The Democratic leadership needs to be clear that impeachment is not their goal post 2018 mid-terms. They need to remove this talking point from him or he will continue to use it to rally his base. We don't need them to feel motivated enough to get out and vote.

Now, notice I did not say he should never be impeached. When Mueller delivers his reports/determination/indictments I suspect there will be little choice.

The important thing here is this should not be a campaign trail item and promise from Democrats. It will cause us to be in the weeds far too much.

Doofus tRump thinks that statement will save him and his House. Ha! . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #1
