At this point are there at 20 Republicans that would vote to convict tRump??

Don’t forget Manchin might not vote to convict either.

So, if the House goes and votes for impeaching, then what? We saw what happened to the Republicans in 1998-99. Also, the Corporate media will end up torching the Democratic Party

I am willing to stay with the “death of a 1000 cuts” policy towards tRump.

2. Probably not, to even let this shitshow get this far is a distinct dereliction of duty.

The republicans are so entwined with the russians and foreign money that eventually a number of these investigations will entangle their dirty asses and drag them into the void as well.

he isn't ousted, which he won't be at this point, he will run next year as the victim who survived this horror brought about evil Democrats.

If his whining about the "witch hunt" drives us crazy now, imagine how bad it will be during impeachment hearings!

10. We only have one shot at impeachment, and the Republican votes for conviction need to be there

They aren’t there now. The Mueller report might convince some.

I don’t know why this is such a difficult concept for some DU’ers.

it ain't gonna happen with the current Senate

I doubt Manchin would vote to convict; he's not stupid-Trump still has a huge approval rate in WV

9. Why is that a bad thing. Just because it back fired on the Repubs during the clinton admin?

that was a different time.

The republicans spend 4-6 years investigating white water and the clintons and found NOTHING. they had to get him by a lie about consensual sex. That made them look like shiz which they are.


today trump is guilty of a number of crimes. These are provable. Not the least is catering to the Russians and selling out USA positions for personal monetary gains by trump and the gop.

These guys are guilty of working with the Soviets to undermine the election that caused the DEMS to lose.

How many times are we going to roll over and just shake this off without making the republicans pain for their damn transgressions.

Are we just going to complain complain complain and then complain and hope things get better. We had a 40 seat landslide because people are PISSed about trump and russia.
