Go back to your district...

Advice to all legislators up for reelection:

1. Go to your district and have numerous meetings with your constituents.
2. Don't make the meetings about you.
3. Listen to concerns and take notes.
4. Formulate a plan of action from notes. The plan that got you elected before is out of date.
5. Report back to constituents with a concrete plan of action that is tailored to your district.
6. Act and report back frequently.

He is stalling for time.

Trump is postponing his inevitable ouster to make a favorable (in his mind) impact on history. He wants to be remembered for fulfilling his campaign promises.
