This debacle with Trump is not headed in a good direction. The Leaders of the Parties should confer about what is the best thing to do for the country at this time? It is in both of their interests.
They must re-learn how to communicate with each other. There is too much at stake to draw lines in the sand. This is no time for threats and name-calling. Our Constitution is under threat, whether or not they can agree on that?
They must make an effort to do whatever is possible to prevent this constitutional crisis that is looming in a few short weeks.
"It's no use to try an talk with the Republicans", many Democrats will say.
"It's no use to try and talk with Democrats", Republicans will argue.
But, the time is right.
They should get together and discuss the political realities as they see them.
It is the least they can do.
After all, they all are supposed to work for the people.

Nobody has been in this sort of predicament in our lifetimes.
False confidence will get us nowhere.

(115,279 posts)Neither should it prevent us from trying to win the public sentiment, and support, in this crisis.
The people have to be behind you if you take it to battle.
