If Trump is not convicted and it is seen as a cover up. Will that set off an historic blue wave?

I think our future depends on the American peoples response to a trial that we have been told would be rigged. We were told by Moscow Mitch he would work with Trump, the person on trial, and not even consider the evidence.

If that happens and not enough Americans respond the way they should, then the American people deserve to lose their democracy.

This trial is about the American people. Will the slumbering American people wake up in time?

The Republicans fear their base, maybe they should fear the democratic base. shockey80 Jan 2020 #5

No. Republicans will not be swayed, and they vote reliably. JustABozoOnThisBus Jan 2020 #6

Will it? By enough people? That’s debatable I think.

I think a good word to describe the Democratic base this November is, intense.

Only a good GOTV strategy and effort will get the (seemingly) less reliable Dem voters to ignore the weather and vote. Then a blue wave is possible.
