I believe that you are reading what you want to read. Impeachment has three possible outcomes, all political:

1. Conviction in the Senate and removal from office

2. Acquittal by the Senate

3. Adjournment of the Senate sitting in trial without a vote. This is what happened in Clinton’s Impeachment.

You can pursue the truthful message without any of the above. You can go after liberal Senators in red states without permitting the Democrats to energize their lethargic base. Given that the only good outcome of the three is unachievable, a different course of action is preferrable.

I believe you are denying what you want to deny.

As I pointed out, the failure to remove from office can still lead to three positive outcomes.

1. Rallying the people who don't like Obama and his actions.

2. Demonstrating to the remaining people that Obama and his actions deserve to be impeached.

3. Politically hurting the Democrat senators in red states who defended Obama's action and who voted not to remove Obama.

You can pursue the truthful message without any of the above.

The truthful message is that Obama should be impeached. There is no better way to articulate that message than to impeach.

You can go after liberal Senators in red states without permitting the Democrats to energize their lethargic base.

The Democrats will make things up and energize their base no matter what we. They've been doing it every election cycle.

We only do well when we energize the normal people in this country who aren't brainwashed. Go back and check our best election cycles and you will see that.

Remember 2010 when Republicans were fighting Obamacare. We had a great election cycle.

Do you remember 2008 and 2012 when the surrender types were in charge of the election cycle for the Republicans. Look what happened then.
