2. It's got to be more than town halls and protests.

We have to put enough public pressure on Republicans to make them oust Trump and make it clear to the VP that he's got to go in a different direction or he's done too.

Does that sound like a monumental task? I'm sure it does. But right now, with Democrats sitting on their hands, protecting their turf, and with money buying favors in the GOP, what this will take are American leaders who are willing to stand up for what is right, who know how badly Trump is violating his alleged oath to the Constitution and who think that is something worth fighting and sacrificing for, more than holding on to what power they have, keeping their job and hoping someone else does the work to make this go away.
I know, we can't criticize Democrats here, but is criticizing the fact that we have no leadership in Congress who will come close to doing what needs to be done, especially not if it means risking going out on a limb and doing something bold. We don't have that kind of leadership in our party.

Every premise on which Trump has based his executive orders is a lie. Why is it that Democrats can't seem to get it together, get inside their media silo, and expose the corruption? We've had a few people who seem to be headed that direction. Why can't they get it together?
