When Democrats keep on the Offensive and take the fight to the voters, the voters will respond. I hold out some hope that there will be enough of them that come to their senses by November of 2020.

(4,516 posts)But we know how public opinion works. As long as Republicans choose to stay relatively united, either in denying evidence of Trumps malfeasance or claiming that theres nothing wrong with it, then Democrats will be unable to generate enough constituent pressure to change their minds. Whatever evidence is turned up, Republicans probably can brazen it out if thats what they really want, regardless of the damage it does to U.S. democracy. So that leaves one question for them: Is this really what you want?
