(Thread) This isnt the time to panic. It's time to get busy.
What happens in Nov. depends on what people do today.
Nobody expected the GOP to convict and remove Trump. The goal was for the truth to come out.
McConnell is a shrewd political operator, but Pelosi is shrewder.
Eighth tweet in the thread she says, "8/ If Trump thought he could flip a switch and fix the election, he wouldn't have put so much energy and risked so much trying to get that Ukraine investigation. He knows how to read polls. He saw what happened in the elections since 2016. He knew he needed to do something."
And from her blog, "Things to Do."

I turn to her when I need a dose of realistic optimism to talk me back from the ledge.
Don't let the despair overwhelm you. There are more Americans who value the US Constitution and the rule of law then Americans who don't. Never forget that.

OP
My guess is that Nov. sees a huge Blue Wave that makes the last one seem a trickle.
