If we do, then you can count that we will be the minority party forever
I agree we’re not in a situation where impeachment makes much sense. That said, I disagree that it results in minority party status. When Clinton got impeached, we won the next two presidential cycles and build big majorities on both houses. I may have had a tiny impact on 1998, but not significant, but we quickly moved to get the White House and majorities for the first time in over half a century just after impeachment.
I don’t suggest it be done now, but I don’t think it would be catastrophic if we did. I’d rather see the congress work strategically over the next two years to move legislation (even if vetoed), and set up for 2016. Two years goes by quickly, and I’d rather focus on getting someone in the WH who will actually sign good bills.
Well I think if he does something really outrageous the Rats may go along with it, especially if they think it’s going to hurt Repubs in the 2016 election which is probably the reason why Repubs won’t do it. But if he does something like grant 34 million green cards to foreign invaders, and Republicans really REALLY shove the consequences of that down the throats of the black community, make them really aware what an act of betrayal that is, then they probably get away with impeachment and still win the election. The whole problem with the Republican party is propaganda, the Democrats absolutely kill them every time when it comes to that even though 99% of what Democrats promote is utter nonsense. I mean just think: If Republicans turned only a small fraction of the black community to the right, Democrats would never win another election again, and Democrats constantly constantly give them every opportunity to do so and they NEVER take it which drives me NUTS! For example why don’t they send out mailers that describes the history of the Democrat party when it comes to blacks? Make them aware of how Democrats have screwed them at every single turn, how they use socialist programs to keep them on ice till election day then make them jump like dogs begging for scraps in exchange for votes? Just make them aware how they’re lives are being destroyed so some politician - usually a white one - can get rich. Stuff like that, if Republicans focused on that, just started a huge campaign to turn blacks, Democrats would be absolutely obliterated.
