34. Unfortunately the Democrats have to follow the law precisely.

If they don't they lose their primary defense against Trump.

And the law is limiting and slow while Trump is unrestrained and instantaneous.

It will be a difficult slog to get around all the mountains of illegal, immoral insanity that Trump throws at them every single day while they have to methodically evaluate the evidence.

I just hope the law is strong enough to withstand this onslaught but it's not a given.
