If the Mueller probe actually does bring about some monster charges, then all bets are off. But until that happens, it's stupid for Democrats to talk impeachment - especially when they have a wounded incumbent and a party on the ropes. Why give them a rallying cry? We already know half the country is against the idea of impeachment ... is it really an issue we want to define the midterm elections?
