(pardon the pun) from Trump. He nicked the 'untouchable' Trump repeatedly. That is how to do it then people want to roll up their sleeves and take action daily to fight. It is not blood lust on the part of democrats but a desire for a just country and a leader who can dominate Trump that makes people 'git her done' (for 3.5 years straight). Everyone will have to be mobilized. Like WWII (that wasn't about bloodlust on the part of those fighting Hitler, it was what needed to be done and Churchill dominated and led the way).
