This is encouraging...



I swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. If true, these new allegations against the President are a threat to our national security, and constitute an impeachable offense. https://wapo.st/2miyDWC

She's my representative and has been quite moderate as she has to be in this district. If she's using the "I" word, there is hope.

the thing about this latest accusation -- is that it's dead simple and easy for joe sixpack to understand. (and also easy for centrists to support while wrapping themselves in the flag and patriotism) Bribing a foreign government to dig up dirt on your political opponent is just clearly WRONG and CORRUPT. It is also clearly against the national interests, and damaging to your own country. It's helping Russia, and harming the U.S. And you can lay that argument out in about 5 seconds.
(and despite FOX's best efforts, there is very little room here for whataboutism. it's all very straightforward.)
