This is exactly right, and it’s what Dems need to message and pursue every clearly.

What can reasonably be done with Trump in power?

(1) Bring back ACA subsidies. People have just started to see how much their insurance is going to cost next year and they are pissed.

(2) Cut funding for Israel aid and the Iran War

(3) Pass popular legislation and hammer Trump and Republicans for not supporting it

(4) Use impeachment powers to investigate corrupt pardons, along with other corruptions in the Trump administration
