Roughly, 60% of the people want Trump out of office. Less than 50% want him impeached?

That is the number the Democrats must change, so far they have had little success. For there to be any chance of impeaching Trump the Democrats must get that number up to around 60%.

If that happens you would see Moscow Mitch start to panic. Moscow Mitch does not care about anyone or anything except keeping control of the Senate. If 60% of the people wanted Trump impeached, a vote not to convict in the Senate could cost the Republicans the Senate. Moscow Mitch could turn on Trump.

I believe we all should be asking ourselves these very important questions when it comes to impeaching the Traitor.

What are the possible catastrophic consequences of not impeaching a Traitor and will simply voting Trump out of office remove the possibility of the catastrophic consequences? I have big doubts.

Why are the Democrats not warning and scaring the shit of the American people about the possibility of catastrophic consequences in not impeaching Trump? Do they believe voting Trump out will fix what he has done? I hope not.

By definition Trump is a Traitor. He went along with our enemy in an attack on our election. Trump is the most corrupt President in our history. He has shit all over the constitution and is trying to undo our Democracy. Should his punishment for all of this be we vote him out?

If that is the punishment for all he has done, will that not set precedent for all future Presidents. They will be able to do what he did and their biggest worry would be losing an election.

If Trump is not impeached the Emollients Clause becomes worthless. If he is not impeached all future Presidents will search for an AG who will obstruct any investigation. Obstruction of justice will no longer apply to the President.

Everything Trump has done will become the norm. I do not believe most Americans understand this. I believe most Americans, including Democrats in congress believe voting Trump out will solve what he has done.

Sometimes I feel like most Americans have lost touch with reality and the only thing that will cure them is a catastrophic event that hurts all of us badly. History shows us sometimes that's what it takes. I hope the American people wake up and demand Trump is impeached before something like that happens.

... for Trump are pretty high relatively speaking seeing there hasn't been a SNM event yet in the Trump admin.

People will increase their want to get the crook out of office once the evidence is heard

could backfire and end up in his being reelected. That said, if you asked them if he DESERVED to be impeached and removed, I'd bet the result would be absolutely overwhelmingly yes.

of sheltering the public from Trump's mountain of scandals, the media is too busy chasing Trump's Twitter laser pointer like a herd of cats to report the news.

... not just the Democrats. With trump constantly muddying the waters and calling everything fake, the overall evidence against him must be overwhelming. It must be iron clad and withstand scrutiny like we’ve never seen. We are up against the most evil and well funded enemies ever to threaten our democracy.

Nancy Pelosi and our Democratic leadership are letting the republicans slowly kill them selves. The Democrats can’t be seen as taking out their savior. There would be civil unrest that would disrupt the process and stifle any attempt to remove trump. Only until the senior republican leadership in the Senate turns will there be any movement against trump. That won’t happen until trump is fully exposed for what he is: A self dealing enabler and member of organized crime. And a traitor of the worst kind.

The dam is getting pushed on very hard by goodness and justice. The dam will break and Americans will see the righteous, cleansing waters of justice push out the foul, festering glob of crime and hate, that which is trump inc.

She alone has kept REAL impeachment from happening because she is a coward, desperate to keep control of a party that is rapidly getting fed up with old, failed tactics.

Democrats either need to do the right thing, or we do the wrong thing. Simple. Cut and dried.

If she wants my loyalty she is going to have to earn it. This is the last election where I will obediently follow...

Illegally stealing or cancelling the election, declaration of martial law, appeals to his cult to use violence, all are possible with this monster who thinks himself a king. By all means GOTV but bet heavily on needing a Plan-B.
