Also, we're going to need to campaign against his corruption and criminality. We really shouldn't be leaving him with "if I'm so bad, why haven't you guys impeached me?" as an easy response.

Agree completely, although the universe of people who need to be (or who actually
can be) convinced of his criminality has to be fairly small at this point.
It can't just be a political analysis--and I think Democrats are wrong on the political impact of impeachment hearings anyway. Signals to all future Presidents need to be sent that if you fuck around like this, you will be dragged.
