You don't listen to what the other side tells you so you are left with a story of your own invention. It is clear not only to people within the administration but to nearly half of the country that Trump needs to be removed from office. It was never about his politics but always about his moral and ethical character. He was immoral and unethical as he stood on the stage with over a dozen other respectable Republican presidential candidates in 2016. He was immoral and unethical as his administration had record turnover while he was in office with a majority in both the Senate and the House. He belittled those who sincerely recused themselves due to ethical considerations. He was dismissive of those who told the truth after they left his corrupt administration. He even has a group within his adminstration acting as the "adult in the room". What other administration ever took their leader for such a child as has this president's administration?
If you think that the Republican held Senate can easily dismiss an impeachment proceeding and expect to easily win re-election, then sit back and enjoy your victory. If not then be sure to come back to this forum and eat your proverbial hat.
We saw what happened in the House of Representatives in 2018. Independents decide the issues when Democrats and Republicans are at odds and the number aren't moving in the right direction for your particular cause:
Poll: Independents Move In Favor Of Impeachment Inquiry; GOP Stays Firmly Against
One cannot be impeached for being immoral or unethical. Those are relative terms, depending upon who is stating them.
The Constitution requires HIGH CRIMES, or misdemeanors, for impeachment. Misdemeanors meant something totally different when the Constitution was written, they are very serious crimes.
So, the democrats must find a serious felony, in a statute, and prove Trump committed it. So called obstruction of congress is not a crime, exercising executive privilege is not a crime, inquiring into the possible criminal activities of Americans overseas is not a crime, they have to cobble together real crimes, and make their case.
Being a totally political process, they will vote articles of impeachment, and the senate will reject them. Just like the democrats did with slick Willy.
The election is a year away, an eternity in politics. Polls and such mean little now, remember the polls in 2016 ?
I have seen it time and time again, the paradigm changes drastically the closer to the election.
So, we will see.
Who are the democrats going to run, Warren ? She has absolutely no chance.
The party establishment will do everything possible to send the convention voting into a second ballot, that is when the party hacks, the super delegates, can vote. If they think the choice of the people can´t win, they will do exactly what they did to Sanders in 2016, plug in their choice. Unlike in the Republican party, the democrat establishment thinks they know best over the people, thatś why they have written the rules so they always have control.
It will be fun
