In fallout from Trump controversies, Republicans warn Democrats will seek his impeachment. Democratic candidates are avoiding the word.

Republicans are bracing for it. Donald Trump’s lawyer is warning about it. But Democrats running in the most crucial midterm races have refused to threaten impeachment for the president after his former lawyer implicated him Tuesday in directing the commission of a crime.

“I don’t want to see a two-year distraction,” said Susan Wild, a Democratic nominee favored to win a key Republican-held House seat in suburban Philadelphia. “I think, honestly, impeachment proceedings would obviously derail getting other things done in Congress.”

While Wild said activists in her district and her own social media feeds are often obsessed with Trump’s legal problems, she did not issue so much as a tweet to commemorate Tuesday’s developments — joining other Democrats in swing districts in her silence.

Over the last three weeks, the first two congressmen to endorse Trump for president have been indicted, a jury convicted Trump’s former campaign chairman of eight felonies, and the president’s former lawyer pleaded guilty in a Manhattan courtroom to eight counts including a campaign finance crime — at the direction, he said under oath, of Trump. But instead of playing to anger among their base, Democrats have decided to walk a delicate line as they try to build momentum behind the midterm elections by staying focused on bread-and-butter issues to woo independent voters.

It is a shift in strategy following Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign, which was heavily focused on exposing flaws in Trump’s character. Most Democrats now believe that moral revulsion with political leaders is often only a deciding issue for voters who enjoy a level of economic security to look beyond their immediate needs.

1. Why should anyone take a word from any GOP member to have merit anymore?

Did we not just witness the second of two indictments this month of GOP liars on top of the shitstorm of deceit America got a dose of yesterday?

The GOP is nothing but a criminal enterprise. Out for themselves and nobody else.

If you're in the GOP, fuck you! You are a cheat and a liar.

If you're thinking of voting for someone in the GOP, fuck you! You are just a wannabe cheat and liar.
