Showing Original Post only (View all)This is why we should IMPEACH! [View all]
https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/28/politics/allan-lichtman-donald-trump-2020/index.html"Democrats are fundamentally wrong about the politics of impeachment and their prospects for victory in 2020. An impeachment and subsequent trial would cost the president a crucial fourth key -- the scandal key -- just as it cost Democrats that key in 2000. The indictment and trial would also expose him to dropping another key by encouraging a serious challenge to his re-nomination. Other potential negative keys include the emergence of a charismatic Democratic challenger, a significant third-party challenge, a foreign policy disaster, or an election-year recession. Without impeachment, however, Democratic prospects are grim."
I say impeach NOW.
Recent history shows us that an impeached President is always followed by a President of the opposition party (Nixon/Ford>Carter, Clinton>Bush). Just impeach this monster and get it over with. I would much rather see our spectacular field of candidates talking about a positive vision for America than to keep investigating this scoundrel that currently occupies the Oval Office.

+1, I agree ... it's not for political advantage & adds to reason the whole process should be used..
