Here’s how it looks if you’re a Dem strategist:

— Two years of claiming Trump worked with Russia proved empty. Zero. Your move is to hope everyone just forgets you ever mentioned it.

— Mueller found no smoking gun, indicted nobody with his Report. He said today he would not be your star witness, your human smoking gun. He isn’t going to help you. Your move is to hope everyone just forgets all that “Mueller Time” stuff.

— Everything you can try and impeach on you have more or less had in your hands for two months/two years already and done nothing with.

— You’ve been whipping your base into impeachment fever, and you will lose in the Senate if things ever even get that far.

— You can hold investigations, hoping Maxine Waters can uncover what Mueller, the FBI and the NSA missed.

— The election is in 17 months and all you got is Joe Biden. Nobody is motivated by Joe Biden. Might as well just run a crash test dummy with “Not Trump” written in Sharpie on the face.

— Meanwhile, 12 economic models predict Trump will win anyway. Your move is to hope people don’t notice the economy is doing well.

— Your strongest player right now is Justin Amash.
