From Josh Marshall: an important distinction
"the President isnt really on trial here. His guilt is too obvious and established. The question here is whether the GOP, his party, will take any step to restrain an obviously bad acting President. The answer to that is pretty obvious at this point. But its *that* more than the Presidents guilt that needs to be elucidated, proven. This may be a subtle distinction. But its an important one...
"Democrats are going through the motions of trying to convince their GOP colleagues, even if in practice they know this is not going to happen. They need to shift gears. This isnt about convincing their Republican colleagues.
"Republicans are committed to defending President Trump at all costs no matter what he does. Thats not something to try change. Its what youre trying to demonstrate."

We need to move the needle another few percent.
I believe only fear will work at this point. Make people understand the true danger they and their children are in, if the GOP completes its overthrow of the Constitution.
