The media is pushing the story: What happens if impeachment causes Democrats to lose next election? [View all]

There is little doubt that if Trump wins the next election and Republicans take the House and Senate, it will be blamed on the impeachment vote.

But, no one can guarantee it will be different if Democrats do not impeach.

On this issue, I stand 100% behind Speaker Pelosi. The defense of our Constitution is more important than any election. It's sad that so many politicians in Washington do not understand that.

We should ask ourselves: What happens if Donald Trump is not convicted in the Senate? How bad will it get? How bold will he become when he realizes he has the Senate behind him, no matter what he might do?

It is an historic time. It is a time we must all take a stand.

It is a fight which we must have. If we lose, the country loses. But the Constitution must be defended.

At all costs.
