Investigate any wrong doing by Trump you are aware of and report it to the American free press. After all, if Trump is acquitted this becomes legal.
We are getting to the point where the Republican party is no longer playing by any rules. They lie about everything They are cheating at everything and rigging the game so it is legal to do so. The Democrats must join in the game and beat them at their own game. That may be the only way to get them to come to their senses.
Everyone is counting on the election to remove Trump from office. The Republicans and Trump are going to cheat in every way they can think of. If the Democrats play by the rules who has a better chance of winning?
The Democrats better learn how to play dirty this election because Trump and the Republicans will play dirty at a level we have never seen before.

(16,786 posts)They know what a danger Trump is and what the Republicans are all about.
But once we cross that bridge, there is no going back. Bribery and corruption becomes normal and the process will NEVER be the same again.

(52,243 posts)the rules still apply to democrats.
if we win the presidency and the president does anything remotely comparable, in theory democrats in the senate could stand strong and refuse to remove (assuming the house were to impeach in the first place), but our right-wing biased media would never stand for it.
we'd be forced to do the right thing.
but the media consistently refuses to apply any such pressure on republicans.

(7,541 posts)1) to correct the situation legislatively the Dems must take all three branches of government and pass new statutes to prevent this from happening again
2) to fight fire with fire and solicit funds from abroad...there must be a whole lot more people in the world that wish Trump gone than not
3) to succumb and put their heads between their knees and wish it would go away.
4) to refuse to play the game, dig their heels in legislatively and refuse to compromise with the Republicans at every turn.
IMO when an opponent cheats it's best to refuse to play the game.
