or drop investigations.
Just saw one on CNN ranting about how Democrats should impeach Trump or shut up.
They and Trump REALLY want the house to start impeachment proceedings before any more documents are acquired. This tells me everything I need to know about their strategy for claiming the House investigation is politically motivated and using this meme to boost Trump's numbers and solidify his popularity with Republicans.
Nancy Pelosi is not falling for this thank the gods.
My trust is with Pelosi and those who don't give in to raw emotions instead of experience and for-sight.
I believe that by the beginning of next week Democrats will see more proof of this.

(2,511 posts)that if Republicans want Democrat's to do something, it directly benefits them, not the American people. I support possible impeachment only when the the time is right or if ALL other avenues have been tried and ruled out.
It's still a long time til the general election and people, especially Republicans, have short and selective memories.

(805 posts)In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and state that more Democrats want him impeached than Republicans...
But maybe I'm overreaching.
A lot of impatient and angry people. But impatience and anger in this situation could destroy us all IMHO.

(2,511 posts)History says no. The only hope for them not voting for Trump is someone running against trump so that they can feel good about them selves not voting for a Democrat.

(1,770 posts)Anyone else think it is so they can get their own candidates in the running? Timing and opportunity. If it takes too long, they do not have a chance to build a campaign. If it is done now, Pence is in, and most think he could be beaten. They can come in and save the Republican party.
Most republicans I know are more libertarian leaning. Socially liberal, fiscally conservative.
And the federalists think of themselves as the Gods of Mount Olympus. I fear and dislike them the most.
Just a thought.
