(6,589 posts)I want to kick McConnell to the curb too. Every damn criminal one of them.
That means winning the White House & Senate in 2020. If we want to save our country from Republican lawlessness that must be our main priority.
Impeaching Trump now gains us nothing & helps Republicans by giving them a powerful & emotional campaign issue. In contrast, ongoing Congressional oversight hearings that expose every one of Trump's crimes in detail will gain us a lot.
That doesn't mean we never impeach the criminal, hearings may sway public opinion like they did during Watergate, but trying to impeach now with only 18% public support is a recipe for disaster in 2020.
Personally, I believe he deserves jail time, which impeachment cannot do. We need SDNY, NYAG etc to start that process the day after we vote him out.
