re: #316 Old Liberal
Perhaps you are right. This is the fourth horror show Iāve been through. Each worse than the one before. Like I said, if they arenāt revved in October Iāll agree there is a problem.
The problem (IMHO) is that generations of Americans have spent the years since Watergate having it beaten into their heads that the only answer to a misbehaving executive is elections. Between the shitshow that was Iran-Contra and the endless years of Whitewater culminating in the circus of āMonicagate,ā the Repubs have succeeded in ripping the teeth from Congressā one real method of holding a criminal president to account. The end result is endless āinvestigationsā in Congress that result in meaningless reports that get much fanfare but go nowhere because the votes just arenāt there. If the only hope we have is that Trump is defeated next November, then we really have to wonder if the party can survive if he wins.
