I say wait until next June to begin impeachment.

That way Trump can divide his time next year between campaigning and fending off articles of impeachment. This will open a floodgate of damning evidence just when democrats will need it the most.

Right now, impeachment will go nowhere beyond the House and it'll be over. But if the democrats can flip the senate in November all that prep work will be valuable insurance in case Trump wins. Meanwhile, the impeachment hearings will uncover as yet untold sins against the president to be used in campaign ads.

might, otherwise, vote against trump and GOP.

It's getting very late to begin impeachment. Time to concentrate on elections unless something new comes to light.
