Trump wants Republicans to defend his behavior, not just attack the Democratic impeachment process. Here’s why defenses of his behavior are wanting.
Brnovich covers his tracks on Obamacare lawsuit
The adverse consequences for Arizona are so monumental that Brnovich should hope that his lawsuit to have Obamacare declared unconstitutional fails.

He doesn’t fit today’s Democratic Party. An independent candidacy would be beneficial at this political moment. And maybe lightning would strike.
Not a war on cops, but certainly political pandering
Why aren’t city hall and the police chief defending Phoenix cops against the false charge of being trigger-happy?
Rather than Medicare for All, how about Medicaid for those who need it
Elizabeth Warren’s financing scheme for her Medicare for All plan is a dud. But her challenge about alternatives should be taken up.
Grijalva invents a fossil fuel bogeyman

If the goal is to create a broader consensus in favor of removing Trump, this isn’t the way to go about it.
