Tony Schwartz: "Stay calm Dems. Let this man continue to unravel his presidency."

There isn't going to be a wall. No way you can shut the government down again. Fraudulently declaring a national emergency won't hold up. Dwindling base can't get him reelected. Trump has no cards to play. Stay calm Dems. Let this man continue to unravel his presidency.

The chaos he loves to create and thrives on is now causing him stress and making him even more dangerous and unstable.

Some of the Judges that have given Trump the biggest setbacks are ones that Reagan installed young so that they would have long careers on the bench.

Continue to do what we do--investigate, ridicule, resist--and don't worry about rump shutting the whole thing down again, or declaring an emergency, to get his effing wall. It isn't happening.

Nancy Pelosi: CALM

Chuck Schumer: CALM

Maxine Waters: CALM

Adam Schiff: CALM

If I thought Schwartz was advocating that we bury our heads in the sand and do nothing, I wouldn't have posed it.

Yes, we have to fight on every front, and I agree that if we do it calmly, we stand a much better chance of results than if we meet his chaos head-on with more chaos while giving ourselves ulcers.

My take on what he posted is basically take care of business and let Trump take care of destroying himself.

This son of a bitch just may kill off the Repuke party and unfettered Social Darwinism at the same time.

If you opponent is committing suicide, do not stop them.

Let him destroy himself, but we need to take care of business in a calm and focused manner.

bring myself to feel sorry for Trump. Not at all.

-Napoleon Bonaparte

I think he's speaking in those terms. On another note, Napoleon was not averse to attacking an enemy when he is at his weakest, either.
