16. Focusing on just him and his cabinet isn't enough.

There are too many judges who have his back including the very top of our judicial system. They have appointments for life. If you're going to start at the top, it has to be with the courts, especially the Supreme Court. Unless some of them retire and/or die off while a Dem is President, the majority of them will not be supportive of our agendas.
