But I'd hope that the Dems would use the national frustration with the obvious chaos and incompetence, to make the case to a now-listening public that it's all on Trump and his GOP toadies in Congress. Not sure how to do that! But the messaging should be simple, clear, and focus on the corruption and law-breaking of the administration and its 'how high, sir?' lackies in the House and Senate.
