I think Democrats would do well to tell the American people they trust them to determine if they are for selling out the future for ratings, or join a cause that is future focused and willing to roll up it's sleeves to tackle healthcare, climate change, creating a sustainable economy, etc.
Of course they should impeach. That's their job. Oversight and accountability. The message sent here is that it is perfectly OK for a President to be this corrupt without consequences. If you don't impeach someone like Trump then who the “F” DO you impeach? In that case let's just amend the Constitution and get rid of impeachment all together because its so politically inconvenient. Saying "Oh let the people vote him out" is extremely lazy like the American people have to do their jobs for them. The Democrats just took the House and they're not even going to do their basic Constitutional duty of impeachment?
Impeachment proceedings and hearings will not hurt the Democrats because the media will be consumed with it and public hearings involving testimony from those in the Mueller report will get spotlight attention for many months leading up to the election and the public will get to see over and over just how corrupt this President is. How is this going to hurt the Democrats?
This argument that they can't impeach because they have to focus on other things like climate change and the economy is just dumb. You can do it all at the same time. That is what they're elected for.
Now if Trump wins reelection as an unimpeached second term President what is that going to say about Democrats who had their window of opportunity and blew it because, well, impeaching is hard? What the “F” was all this investigating about if they're not willing to act on the results handed to them on a silver platter by Mueller?
Idiots like subs and the FOX News choir are talking about Pelosi being smart for not impeaching because they desperately want the Democrats to NOT IMPEACH. In what universe is this really BAD for Democrats for them to do their Constitutional duty to impeach? And we all know that if the tables were turned the Republicans would have initiated impeachment proceedings before the Mueller report was even completed.
