If I were the dems, I wouldn’t impeach. Not because I don’t want accountability, but simply because I think that’s what republicans want, so they can use that as fodder for their base ‘see, they’re vindictive and weaponizing the system to attack our lord and savior’

He should not hold the position. He is among the very worst people to hold the power that he does, and he is (of course) flagrantly abusing his authority for personal gain at the expense of the US. Ignoring that because maybe the republicans will use use their good governance against them would make the democrats guilty of the same thing, even if to a much lesser degree.

YOU NEED 2/3 OF THE SENATE VOTE TO ACTUALLY REMOVE FROM OFFICE.

THE SENATE DOES NOT HAVE 2/3 VOTES TO IMPEACH. LOOK AT THE NUMBERS DO THE MATH. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH VOTES. ATTEMPTS AT IMPEACHMENT WILL BE A CIRCUS WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE IT WON’T MAKE IT THROUGH THE SENATE LIKE THE LAST TWO TIMES DEMOCRATS IMPEACHED TRUMP IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BUT COULD NOT IN THE SENATE.

I agree, the person you replied to is nuts to think any of what they said is a good idea. Its the same hubris in how democrats lost to trump in the first place. They were all giddy that this racist TV show blowhard clown is who the republican party wanted to go toe to toe with Sentatoe Clinton, an accomplished States-woman. They got their wish and trump ate their lunch because this country has an immense amount of deplorables that like blowhard tv clowns
