      2. Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell have huge power over Trump for simple reason: he's done impeachable things & they can remove him at any time

      3. On the other hand, Trump is not without power. He has rabid fan base of about 40% of GOP. Without them, party would be severely damaged

      4. The dynamic we've seen in last year is Ryan/McConnell let Trump do anything (I mean anything) to keep party together. They want power

      5. In practice, Trump's real lever is GOP pols are scared shitless of GOP base. They impeach Trump & would face party revolt.

      6. That makes impeachment at hands of GOP unlikely unless Trump becomes so unpopular Ryan can dump him without cost

      7. What's more likely is modus vivendi: Ryan let's Trump run lawless kleptocracy, Trump signs off on Ryan's legislative agenda.

      8. I think what the Dems have to do (what Clinton failed to do in election) is make clear how tied Trump is to Ryan/McConnell.

      9. Ryan/McConnell should be held responsible for Trump's grifting, Trump for any austerity program Ryan/McConnell pass. 1 coin, 2 sides.

          And it should be spelled out loudly and clearly how the swamp has been restocked with predators instead of drained.

          The rhetorical link doesn't seem hard - "The GOP agenda robs hardworking Americans to line Trump's pockets & his rich friends."

          10. To follow the strategy I'm suggesting, Dems have to think like an opposition party, not just a minority party. Think like McConnell.

          I'm terrified they're going to try to bargain with the Republicans instead and preemptively give things away like they usually do.

          Congressmen are bred to fear midterm backlash. The anti-Trump route is by making them so afraid of that backlash that they act.
