It is time for Dem spokespeople on TV and radio to point out loudly that the GOP would be impeaching

any Dem President who was obstructing or attempting to obstruct justice in plain sight as Trump is doing, It's not good enough to say that if Hillary were President and all this was happening they would have impeached her long ago, That may be true but we need to focus attention squarely on the GOP and how they are enabling Trump to demean the office of the President, reduce out standing internationally and enabling Russia to control our government through the compromised Trump.

Tie this bull shit squarely to the GOP and be persistent about it.

It would be counterproductive to demonize the entire party. It would also show a severe lack of intelligence on the part of anyone who did it.

do a damn thing to change that.

this isn't about actually convincing a handful of highly partisan elected republican congresscritters with a strong career interest in not attacking their own party leader with the political equivalent of the death penalty. that's just not going to happen.


the minds we *can* change are the minds of the voters, and for *their* benefit, pointing out the rank hypocrisy can help.

And still intellectually ridiculous. A few republicans turned on Trump today. The last thing we need is for them to go running back because some Ds were dumb enough to insult them.
