    I think the perception of much of the public is that after three years of searching for a hook, his enemies finally latched onto something they could work with. As presidential scandals and infractions go, this one seems pretty minor compared to much of the past century or so. I suspect a sufficiently motivated Congress could have found sufficient reason to impeach most of the presidents of my lifetime. This one will appear to be part of a political jihad regardless of the facts of the case. Much like the Clinton impeachment was. I think that is how many voters will remember it, and the aftertaste will be bitter for some years to come as the bar is lowered for the future. His enemies will couch their actions in patriotic sanctimony and pecksniff legalism; and they won’t be entirely wrong. But his enemies’ enemies will remember and wait for their chance at reprisal.

    Does he deserve to be booted out of office? I think so. But I think the upcoming election is the cleanest way to make that happen. At very least, should he win a second term, No one will be able to say they weren’t warned.
    That is easy to say but a big problem in WI is gerrymandering!

    Unless some evil genius has figured out how to gerrymander state boundaries, I don’t think that will be much of an issue for the presidential election.

    While at the same time convincing republicans that Russia is not our enemy. A remarkable feat.

    Obama didn’t authorize lethal aid for Ukraine against the Russians. Trump did.

    True, but for the record the GOP defense that Obama only provided blankets and pillows is and mostly false. He provided millions in military assistance that included radar defenses, Humvees, training, medical supplies, body armor, and surveillance equipment.

    It was in the last election. Many blacks in the Milwaukee area could not get to polling sites because of this.
