If the Democrats don't do this they are screwed.

Every member of the party in Congress, the DNC and everywhere must EVERY DAY remind America and the press that we have a serial sex abuser in the White House.

He's been getting a free pass on this because he won the election, as if that ended the discussion about his crimes.

Huck Sander said the election "litigated the issue" in Trump's favor but this is not true.

We need leaders who will keep litigating this issue against Trump every day through press release, interviews, and everywhere else they can think of.

If we don't then Trump gets away with it and the Franken sacrifice is all for naught.

It will never get on the floor for anyone to vote. But, I get what you are saying. Hoyt Dec 2017 #7

Further, I don't think it is a good idea to run around filing articles of impeachment when we can't even get it on the floor, much less get it approved. It will bite us when a Democrat is Prez, especially if GOPers control House.

They seem to lack a spine. Plus, they wouldn't want to offend their esteemed colleagues across the aisle.
