    That calculation only matters if opinion still carries weight, which it doesn’t. Trump controls all the levers of power, with only Congress having any POTENTIAL to countermand him, and by the time the midterms come around, the institution will likely be so neutered and weakened in the face of unchallenged executive power that it won’t matter.

    I’m NOT saying give up or trying to be defeatist, but there is no room to feel like things are “turning around” until he is well and truly GONE. Until then it’s all just noise.
