7. Don't want half assed impeachment

Sat Mar 9, 2019, 10:07 AM

If the House impeaches and the Senate acquits - Trump is exonerated. The media will proclaim his innocence and he and his supporters will be rubbing his "vindication" in our faces for years to come.

This is a one shot deal so we need all the evidence we can gather to make sure it sticks.

I seem to recall the Democrats losing the White House after the Clinton impeachment Poiuyt Mar 2019 #15

It didn't hurt Clinton, and Gore made a mistake by running away from Clinton marylandblue Mar 2019 #16
