Once again, Jennifer Rubin makes some solid points. Certainly, it would have been nice if we had access to the full Mueller Report that said that Trump is a Russian mole and here are the receipts. That was unlikely, yet I still think the whole Mueller Report will be pretty damning to Trump. That's why Mitch McConnell wants to block its release.
Still, Democrats have multiple avenues to win the White House back from a guy who needed to draw an inside straight to get there in the first place. First, run on health care, as they did in 2018. As Rubin notes, the GOP is doubling down on VERY unpopular cuts to Medicare and ACA. That should be political suicide. Rubin notes Harris' good idea to address teacher's salary, but that can extend to any number of plans that Elizabeth Warren has put forward, including various financial regulations and a wealth tax.
Finally, the "failure" of the Mueller probe to lead to Trump being frogmarched out of the West Wing should not obscure the other various and sundry crimes of this administration. This is a target rich environment, but creating a cohesive narrative around Trump being a plutocrat is important to make it all stick.
