To paraphrase Dr. Lichtman:

- Trump must be impeached or the Democrats will be relegated to the dust bin of history.
- If Trump is not impeached, he will win re-election (and the rule-of-law will be lost).
- Now is not the time for the Dems to be timid. History rewards the bold; not the timid.
- Dems play to not-lose. They do not play to win.

In the video, David Pakman seems star struck by Lichtman. Hey, why not? This is one smart dude!
