In an election, the comparative question comes in play: how much harm are you willing to deliberately inflict on innocent people & on the country to be rid of Trump doing this sort of thing? But today, on its own, it should not be hard to say "yes, this is bad."

As to 2020, I'm still where I've been for months now: I resent being asked to cast a ballot for a man who is manifestly unfit for the job, but I also not want to hand power to a party that will make the lives of Americans worse & do permanent damage to its vital institutions.

It will not surprise me if the outcome of this whole thing is to do only modest damage to Trump, but extensive damage to Biden, who after all still has a primary fight to winhttps://twitter.com/BetSnyder/status/1176902657413439488 …

Readout of the call is somewhat ambiguous as to whether Trump actually asked Zelensky to investigate the Bidens or just cooperate with a US investigation, but it certainly appears that Zelensky interpreted it as the former, & Trump rolled with it:pic.twitter.com/3d2B9tp133

Yeah, and this gets back to my point about reading the readout impressionistically, as it would be received in a back-and-forth conversationhttps://twitter.com/gabrielmalor/status/1176929195093610496 …
