In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders lays out bold 10-point plan for Democrats [View all]empedocles
(15,751 posts)Pragmatically, the case can be made that trump should first be thoroughly investigated and exposed. Then with necessary, wide popular support, impeached. This could force 'con Senators into very difficult situations. At some point Mueller will provide detailed, convincing evidence.
Until then, Democratic early agendas would tend to disappear in the Senate. Used too often for individual politician interests as seems to be to often the case now - often to the detriment of possible Democratic party accomplishments.
Pelosi, and seasoned hands, want a very, strong case against trump before using what political capital they have - for fear of failing to convict, [which could benefit trump, perhaps greatly]. Dems should not promote a large laundry list of proposals that will not go anywhere - that would just provide plenty of targets for 'cons to dilute popular dem support. A clear, defensible theme will be healthier imo.
[It may be a very unpredictable, wild year or two ahead].
