Former prosecutor: "Should Trump be stripped of office he gained by fraud?"

53. Bait, NO ONE is trying to do that. We have a duty

to remove this president. The Republicans have a duty to remove this president. The entire nation, including all those contemptibles who didn't vote against him, has a duty to remove this president.

But this isn't some simpleminded sport competition, where one or another team is supposed to win and the other is supposed to lose. In a democracy majorities must have a say and win, or it will eventually fail. And we are closer to that now than we could have believed possible 10 years ago.

Those who don't want to accept like that need to strive for understanding and up their game. No one who hangs on social media the way people here do would like having the authoritarian government of a sham democracy make them illegal. Or remember bitterly the days when they could imagine disagreements on a political forum were important and engage freely without fear.

On the plus side, it's likely that what the Mueller investigation reveals to the nation will create the shift in national opinion that is needed. Less dramatically but it will have an effect, Mueller is currently also releasing some of that information quietly with these indictments and sentencing memos.
