Stephan:   This article was first published on 9 August 2018. I am running it as my lead in today's edition because, with the Republican senators spineless ethical failure, with the exception of Mitt Romney, voting in November is the only way to get Trump out of office, and sweep away his entire band of grifters. My main take away from Iowa, is that the Democratic establishment has to be replaced, and the paltry turn-out, while not dispositive because it was such a mess,  should alarm anyone who has an interest in creating a society that fosters wellbeing. In the upcoming year even as this administration continues, if Trump stays true to form, there will be covert and overt revenge moves, further degradation of people's lives, lack of preparation for climate change, and on and on until 20 January. The one variable we cannot calculate is Bolton's book or whether the House subpoenas him or others to testify.
