I realize things take time, but that's one thing we have precious little of. Every day the dem base becomes more demoralized as folks like Bannon continue their lives as usual. Assuming the DOJ is busy in the background working these cases, if there isn't some sort of evidence of that by next spring or summer, I'm not sure you'll be able to pump up the base enough to get them to the polls in the fall. I think we're at great risk of losing at least one chamber of congress, maybe both.
