However, the positive embrace of this bizarre political development \u2014 aka a literal herd of Democratic politicians deciding they can save the day (regardless of any name recognition or \u201cfixing\u201d of anything the average voter could articulate) has bewildered me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Robust dialogue is not something this government is capable of \u2014 when discernible outcomes are at risk. But perhaps there\u2019s another rationale we can rally behind! A strategy of 25 to 30 Democratic candidates running in different directions all over the country, sounding the alarm \u2014 in all of the ways it needs to be sounded. Carry the \u201cDefeat Trump\u201d message far and wide \u2014 in all of your respective states!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Impeachment is a lost cause with this lackey of a Senate. Respect the hard-earned wisdom of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Democrats don\u2019t need to fall on the sword for the U.S. Constitution only to help the other \u201cequal branches\u201d lay waste to it. Work together \u2014 spread this word. Any other motivation is foolish and dangerous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Letter Name\">Christine Yoest<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Aspen<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/opinion\/letters-to-the-editor\/forget-impeachment-prevail-at-the-polls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really appreciate the comments of Dorothea Farris in her \u201cRobust dialogue needed in presidential contest\u201d letter (June 9, The Aspen Times).
