Might be 1 in 4 or 5, but it’s a fighting chance. 219-216 minority is worst case scenario right now.

Insane what has happened already.

I'm being patient like I was in 2020...it paid off! My gut instincts told me Biden would be the next Dem candidate in 2018 and that the Dems would do well in the midterms.

My instincts can be pretty good, when I listen to them that is.

...I suspect they won't be able to whip every single vote they need for trumped-up impeachment charges. It's going to be an unruly, ungovernable mess.
