Or, as Yogi Berra said, "It's deja vu all over again."

The Democratic leaders are now shrewdly calling for patience. Rather than letting a handful of Republicans join an impeachment vote, they are going to sit back and wait for the Republicans to take the initiative. It is their mess, let them clean it up, or be engulfed by it. Hopefully the country isn't engulfed first as the Dems follow the Repukelican lead and put party over country.

I would like to see Pence serve out the last three years of Trump's term.

People need to see that yes, Trump is incompetent, but he alone is not the problem. The Republican base, no wiser, is still there, still ready to vote tax cuts for the rich and cuts in their own healthcare in exchange for the wall and anti-abortion legislation.

Until they are howling because of the POLICIES they voted for, not the politicians, nothing much will change in the US. We will all have to feel the pain before the New Right can finally be de-legitimized as a political movement. Of that I am convinced.
