"Democrats are facing a huge problem"

Partial excerpt:

While the caution of the Democrats has been pushing them away from what many see as the legitimate and necessary decision to start impeachment hearings, Republicans will be coming after their opponents with hammer and tong.
All of the post-Mueller analysis focused on the political risks Democrats faced if they went down the path of impeachment. But the political risks of doing nothing -- besides the Democratic risks of allowing the kinds of activities that have been documented about the President to stand -- are immense.

The Democrats might now find themselves under a torrent of attacks for being the corrupt party while the President will be boasting to his supporters that everything else was a "hoax." At some level, through inaction, Democrats will buttress his claims.
With strong economic numbers and relative peace abroad, Democratic timidity might be just the political medicine that a struggling Republican Party was hoping for, enough to carry them over the finish line on Election Day.

(Note:  Not sure I agree with the "relative peace abroad" phrase.   Too many possibilities of brinkmanship brewing at the moment.  But the threat of a Trump win in 2020 is far too frightening to even contemplate. __RLL)

The unparalleled audacity of the spin-misters in the Republican ranks never ceases to astound me! This author is suggesting that R's may take the position that the DEMOCRATS are the corrupt party because they are NOT proceeding with impeaching DJT for the acts disclosed in the Mueller Report? This article suggests that, by not impeaching DJT, Dems are in effect "condoning" those acts? Talk about having it both ways! Am I missing the point here?

Again:

The Democrats might now find themselves under a torrent of attacks for being the corrupt party while the President will be boasting to his supporters that everything else was a "hoax."

Not sure if you read the entire piece, othershoe, but this is the crux.   Investigations of the Dems, the FISA process, etc., will begin (if they haven't already) - Trump and his minions will be on the offensive warpath.   The Dems have got to be tougher than tough or they won't stand a chance. But what that consists of, given the staunchly STUPID Republican Senate, I have no idea.  Impeachment won't help, IMHO.  

Would love to believe once again that Mueller will be the knight on a white horse, but don't even know if he'll testify, much less be willing to buck his boss on national TV.   Very, very iffy.

Along with what you and zsomething and Sal can clearly see, all that's why this piece is so damned depressing.

There is a time and a place for everything, and we are edging closer by the minute.

Political violence, of course.

Maybe not on the scale or scope that oneshoe is envisioning, but who the fuck knows? .....

.... wouldn’t be the first time decent people had to fight a war against white nationalism.

The tax story on the front page of the NYT's opens many new questions and shines a light on the totality of his con-artistry. His administration is like a house being attacked by termites. Taken alone each little nibble doesn't seem to matter much but there is now the beginning of a snowball effect that I see gaining momentum. It looks as if the next few days? weeks? months? are going to be historically significant.

Thanks for clarifying, othershoe.

Just have to agree with Z about what it will take to sway enough people that they were conned. Who can forget the totally unacceptable Access Hollywood tape, with Ted Cruz (or who was it?) saying he couldn't look his teenaged daughter in the eye if he were ever to support such a man...and then went on to do just that?

As we keep hearing, we're in uncharted waters, to say the least!
