A relentless, non-stop, news media blitz to make the case for impeachment.

The Mueller report opened the door for impeachment. The Democrats now must convince the majority of the American people that Trump is a threat to our country and the rule of law. The Democrats don't have to convince the Republicans to convict, they have to convince the people to convict. Republicans only care about their own jobs. If enough Americans support impeachment they will convict to save their jobs.

The Democrats must hold open hearings for everyone named in the report. Open hearings will show the American people what kind of corrupt, lying assholes we are dealing with. An open hearing with Mueller is a must and could be a game changer.

The Democrats must stop asking for Trumps taxes and subpoena them. Trump is not going to cooperate, he will drag everything into court battles. In my opinion the Democrats are wasting time asking for things, subpoena everything. Getting Trumps taxes could change everything.

The Democrats must appear on TV as much as possible and remind the American people everyday about all the corruption that has taken place under Trump. People must be reminded day after day about the all the lying. Remind them about the tax cuts, the children on the border, all of Trumps failures, etc. The key is, don't stop. Do it everyday, all day.

At this time, 40% of the people support impeachment. That is not good enough. If the Democrats can change that number to around 60%, which I believe is possible, Game on.

I have had enough of Trump and the Republicans corrupt bullshit. I want Trump fucking impeached. It is the right thing to do. I want him impeached because I love my country. I am tired of Trump turning my country into a fucking joke. No fear, Impeach!

McConnell threatened Obama with a real political witch-hunt when Obama wanted to expose the Russian intervention into the elections.

That was the beginning of the R's obstruction of justice.

"The Democrats don't have to convince the Republicans to convict, they have to convince the people to convict."

It is the opposite of democracy. When the government, or worse yet a political party, is "convincing the people what to do," that is not government by the people. In a democracy it works the other direction. The people convince the Democrats what to do.

In a democracy the will of the people prevail, not the will of the Democratic Party leadership.
