My first impulse was to make this a very angry and indignant post about how betrayed

7. What he has done is impeachable

Republican Senators know this as well as you or I do, but they won’t convict him. The blame lies entirely at their feet.

So from a political standpoint, what is the use in impeaching Trump — which we could do — and then have Republican Senators vote to acquit him? He’d still be president, only now he has “won” the impeachment battle. He fought the Dems and won! He is emboldened, his base is emboldened, and Dems look weak because they weren’t able to force him out of office. Our base is disgruntled because Trump is still president. Who benefits from that scenario?

That is the status quo until or unless something happens that’s so bad even Senate Republicans would vote to convict him — in which case, impeachment would most definitely be on the table.

In the meantime, our strategy should be to make sure this weakened (and weakening), whining, self-pitying loser of a president just can’t get a win anywhere. Keep that up and he’ll be done in less than two years.

After that, the courts can have him.
