My problem is if the constant constitutional abuses are not grounds- what is? Given Trump wins the news cycle daily – even when the news is negative, he wins it- I think a month of impeachment hearings would actually be helpful. Most people are not paying attention; an Impeachment hearing would almost force them too. That being said- it has risks. Unlike in the 90’s America is divided and hardened in their voting patterns and nothing will shift these. Nothing. Trump has his base. We have ours. The middle is shrinking and I’m just not sure Impeachment hearings would be as detrimental as they were in the 1990s when TENEESEEE and Arkansas were states that were actually in play. A month of hearings would drive this already insane man – well, insane!

I do not think Pelosi has the votes to even open an enquiry, let alone a full blown impeachment move Celerity Jul 2019 #13
