Perhaps you are right. This is the fourth horror show Iā€™ve been through. Each worse than the one before. Like I said, if they arenā€™t revved in October Iā€™ll 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 ā€œMonicagate,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 ā€œinvestigationsā€ in Congress that result in meaningless reports that get much fanfare but go nowhere because the votes just arenā€™t 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.
