The Democrats need to keep Trump on life-support until the 2020 elections. The alternative is worse, Pence, a true right-wing nut job, who might win in 2020.
No, he is not.
1rst off, if we use impeachment, or the 25th, or Mueller's investigation causes him to step down, that will send Pence a message not to do the same things.
SECONDLY, he is far more beatable in the swing states in 2020 because he could not get away with the same bombastic rhetoric 45 has.
Third, he is especially far more stable and filtered, I do not fear him stumbling us into a nuclear war.
The key now, no matter what happens is to focus on this NOVEMBER, if we have that wave, AND WE SHOULD NOT assume because of polls, that win will also send a message that one man is not a dictator.
Moderate and independents are not leaning to the GOP in big numbers now. The key is for dems to not only win in 18 but make sure our message spreads to more zipcodes and appeals to that middle.
It certainly seems a hard road right now, sure, but with everything that has happened in the past month, especially in the past week, the dragon DOES have a Achilles Heel.
