12. We will never gain respect from the Republicans. They have refused to allow us to govern

since Clinton. That won't change. What we need to do is have a quick but good trial...show those Americans who can accept our results what Trump is. But don't waste time and don't believe 17 Republicans will vote for conviction...it is very unlikely. It is a McConnell trap for us.

We need to get policy enacted in the first two years that addresses the Pandemic, address our economy which is really now a depression and fix the ACA by adding a public option. There are other things we need to do and we can use EO for somethings but consider they can be taken away if the GOP gains power in 24. Obama had two years and after that we got nothing...we should be working on the 22 elections right now. We have a bare majority.

The GOP is going to work to take us down in 22 and 24 as they tried with Obama. McConnell wants us to make the Senate trial take up most of Biden's time during the first two years. and They think they take back the house in 22 and once more we get no policy as happened in the Obama administration. Don't fall for this because you hate Trump and want revenge (God knows I hate Trump too)...getting our policy out would hurt Trump the most...especially fixing the ACA...Obama's signature achievement.
