I think Dems are (rightly) afraid that impeaching Trump will only increase his poll numbers and increase his chances of reelection.


LOL. The Dems just investigated and released the private phone records of the minority GOP members of the “impeachment” committee. They fear nothing, obviously. Sorry.

There's a reason why Nancy Pelosi put this entire impeachment charade in the hands of two radical leftist Jews -- one from New York and one from California. It's because these two @ssholes could load their own family members into boxcars and send them off to concentration camps, and they'd still be re-elected by overwhelming margins.

The only problem with this approach is that there aren't enough misfits among the American voters to have a Democrat House majority with people like this.

Schitt and Waddler may have nothing to fear, but there are dozens of House members who know damn well that they don't have much of a future in Congress if they hitch their wagons to these two.

You really think Schiff published, unauthorized (not legally obtained) 'private' phone calls? Why would he commit such a grave error, and provide ammunition to the opposition?

Look, I like a lot of your posts, but sometimes you too seem to jump on the crazy train. This entire impeachment process is following easy to follow, very precise political calculations and well thought out constitutional rules & procedures.

In this particular case, that means the House gets to control the impeachment game in the exact manner that we've seen. Like the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, it's pure politics - which means anything, and I mean anything goes.

The only issue at hand is how well Trump et al play the corresponding tactical reprisal(s). Again, it's pure politics, but the opposition is clever enough to label any action on Trump's part as a more legally defined "obstruction". If they can run the limit of political action while hamstringing Trump, then they gain a net advantage. I would expect Trump to attempt the same tactic, pushing his own political boundaries, while casting the House as violating basic rights.
