Micah and Julia, I also think it serves to satisfy the base’s longtime demands. And if they can do that while not turning off moderates and independents, then maybe that’s a positive outcome for them.

In response to Julia, some Democratic 2020 campaigns have told us that they did not think that they could mount a moral argument against the president in the general election if sitting members of Congress didn’t do something.

I wonder if Democrats have hurt themselves by focusing so much on Ukraine foreign policy and the effect of withholding aid and support to the ally. Yes, those are witnesses they had, but are they leaving basic questions on the table about what the president stood to gain or why the U.S. government normally does not want foreign governments investigating U.S. citizens?
