7. Why does impeachment automatically equal 4 more years of trump?

I've heard the Clinton arguments and I don't buy it. My impressions of the mood during the impeachment of Bill Clinton was that the public could plainly see that Republicans were using the system to go after a political rival. They did the same thing in trying to smear Hillary with Benghazzi hearings. They wanted to hurt the Clinton brand. It didn't work with Bill Clinton and it didn't work with Hillary Clinton (remember she got more votes?)

Democrats are being asked to overlook actual criminal activity at this point in history. For anyone to compare it to a blow job with an adult intern is preposterous. This is a different moment and it isn't looking like democrats are up to it.
