(16,886 posts)The Democrats get two shots at putting the fire out. The problem is they think the one shot they should use is not their constitutional one and impeach and then follow (regardless of trial in Senate outcome) because they think this will fail with the 2nd shot of election. They have it all wrong- they cant let this fire rage and let it get worse with the hope of an election win in 2020. Do they think an impeachment without a conviction means they will lose Democrats to voting? Seriously? Do they think that Republicans will come out in droves and vote? Seriously?
They are also operating on the assumption that everything between now and the remains static and similar conditions. What if we are in a major world war in next 12 months? What if there is an emergency declaration of powers and certain rights suspended? A terrorist act of war (blamed on Iran) made upon the US with many dead citizens and even members of Congress?
What if finally, the Dems thinking the one shot solution of election 2020 is similar to now thinking the fire will be put out with the one fire truck - because they falsely assume it works? Because they are basing it on the premise that there is election integrity- which there is not.
Then what?
That is what they should be afraid of...not impeachment without conviction.
