Some are recommending a second impeachment. [View all]

I disagree. Such a thing would end the same way as he first, almost certainly.

Instead, it is now time to focus our attention on the upcoming elections. As new information and evidence appear, we should make them part of our election strategy.

Not only do we elect a President in November, but we can also elect a Democratic majority in the Senate. Doing so will take hard work and a strong focus on those goals.

In our campaigns, we can convict both Donald Trump and the GOP-majority Senate.

I suggest we focus on winning both things in November and let history judge the impeachment and trial on their merits.
