Question regarding impeachment for the left
Mike Pence on the issues
What is your end game here? Knowing where Mike Pence stands on the issues, do you really think you or this country for that matter would benefit from impeaching Trump? Aside from a few issues, DJT is fairly moderate and you would be removing him in favor of a hard line conservative. Would it not be better for the democratic party to lick your wounds and suck it up for 2 more years and try to remove the whole cabal?

RE: Question regarding impeachment for the left
In all fairness, most of the liberal idiots probably just assume that if Trump is impeached, then Queen Cankles automatically becomes POTUS since she was 1st runner up.

RE: Question regarding impeachment for the left
Even if Trump is impeached, there would still have to be 2/3 of the Senate ready to convict, in order for Pence to become President. That seems like a very remote possibility.
But aside from that, impeachment is something that the Democrats simply HAVE to do, if they get the chance. Their hatred for Trump runs so deep, I honestly believe they wouldn’t be able to help themselves, even if the long-term political fallout appeared to be unfavorable.

RE: Question regarding impeachment for the left
First off, I think the jury's out on whether or not Trump gets impeached.
That said, I disagree with just about everything Pence supports, but I think he at least has a modicum of decency, unlike the current person sitting in the Oval Office. I also think he wouldn't make a laughing stock out of the US every time he opens his mouth.
I couldn't stand GWB either, but I'd trade him for Trump in a heartbeat. It's not all about a "team" winning.

Nobody is getting impeached.
Most likely the Dims will take the House and hold it for the next 6 years of Trump.

Libs don't lick their wounds and suck it up. What they do is throw temper tantrums and do whatever is necessary to get their way.
If they can't win elections, they'll clog up the system as much as they can. They'll engage their bootlickers in MSM to put out fake news. They'll bring lawsuits to the 9th circuit in an attempt to circumvent the legal process.
They have NO interest in sitting back.
I'm totally convinced that they're ready, willing, and able to throw the baby known as our way of life out with the bath water just to try and get their way.
They'd rather see everything burn rather than have people on the right and Republicans get our way.

RE: Question regarding impeachment for the left
I think Trump's impeachment in the House is inevitable, if the Democrats take control of it. No way Trump's lawyer implicates him in a felony and a Democratic House just lets it go.
And I think Trump could get convicted in the Senate, if the Mueller report is particularly damning and the Democrats make big gains in the midterms. It would be a long shot, though.
I do wonder if Trump could be forced out with a deal if his son, Don Jr gets implicated and indicted.

Based on what proof would he get indicted?

That sounds suspiciously like blackmail.

And yet you would have Hillary instead, she who is orders of magnitude more dishonest than our current POTUS, she who would as soon spit on you as to look at you, I don't get it.

I think it's more that the lefties didn't get their way and this is the equivalent of a toddler throwing themselves on the supermarket floor and having a fit to get the Fruit Loops........however, could the political calculus be that Pence would be easier to defeat in 2020 than Trump???????

RE: Question regarding impeachment for the left
Not liberal though as the GOP continues its march away from Reaganism I guess some might believe I'm a liberal.
Impeachment is a political process nothing more and nothing less.
If a majority of the House believes that a Facebook post of a Federal judge eating a hot dog with ketchup is a high crime or misdemeanor and passes said article and 2/3rds of the Senate agrees, it is a high crime or misdemeanor.
There is no appeal and the only thing that can be done about is for the voters at home to get mad and elect new people.
Based on the facts known today, the Congress isn't going to impeach the president. Essentially no Democrat trying to grab a seat is campaigning for impeachment.
The impeachment talk right now is coming from the GOP hoping to motivate the base to show up in November.
It's a big nothing burger.

If true they have done a good job of getting the MSM of carrying the banner for them. I think one radio host said there have been over 200 mentions of impeachment since noon yesterday. Either way, impeachment is a sure loser for democrats in Nov.

Which is why you don't actually see any of the non-incumbents raising it.

it would be an issue for some but applauded by others. As of 6/22, 43% of Americans favored impeachment... which was equal to Nixon. Public approval to impeach Clinton never topped 30%. Too, back in June, Trump had not been implicated in a felony by his lawyer so the percentage is likely higher now. I don't think impeachment talk will get serious until after the midterms and after the Mueller findings are released.
