Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL): If the Obamacare Repeal bill doesn't pass, Trump will be impeached...

[blitzen]

Scroll down a ways for this surprising statement from some GOP moron congressman. He seems to be acknowledging, wittingly or not, that Trump's offenses are impeachable.

It is unclear if Republicans have the 216 votes they need to pass the bill, as in recent days the whip count has shown them well below that.

According to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), some of previous no votes switched to yes in the conference, but when asked if the would have unified caucus Friday he said, “I sure hope so.”

“Or we will have the opportunity to watch a unified Democratic caucus impeach Donald Trump in two years in the majority,” he said.

1. Sounds like a plan.

Was that supposed to be a threat. Sounds like a jolly good time to me.

3. Less than two years, asshole . . .

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock . . .

[LOL Lib]

2. 2 goddamned years? FML!

5. He basically said trumps safe while repugs are in charge

What a scumbag.

6. Yeah, he never contests whether or not he's guilty of something impeachable

He's silently admitting "yeah he broke the law probably, and if the democrats take power in 2018 they'll hold him accountable!!!".

Also it's essentially negating the purpose of legislature as a whole. "This bill may not help anyone, hell, it may hurt a lot of people. It's bad for America and bad for the economy. But if we don't pass it then the other guys could get political power because people realized how shitty we are at our jobs. Please support this bill even though we're shit at our jobs. Because if you don't support this bill then your messiah may be impeached and no longer be able to issue those "executive decrees" that you used to hate!"

9. Also he's basically normalizing impeachment as something the majority party does routinely...

to screw the minority party...Rather than as something Congress as a whole does to remove a corrupt President.

4. Go right ahead and pass it with only 17 pct support you dumbass.

You will hand us the Congress for the next 20 years.

10. This

He said, "Success breeds success". What I think is that, if they are successful with healthcare, their base will turn on them within the year. It's amazing they can't understand that after the LOUD public outcry. Maybe they really do believe those hundreds of thousands of protestors were paid by Soros.

8. Hmmm I wonder if he knows his side loses either way?

If it passes 30 million people are going to be thrown off their insurance. This will become a highly weaponized issue for Dems in the mid terms. It will open the door to a potential blood bath.

If it doesn't pass, they also lose because they couldn't get it done. Because they couldn't close the deal. The great deal maker falls on his face.

I actually think it has a better chance than we might think. Republicans always fall in line for anything that puts their party ahead of what's best for the country.
