In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump is going to be impeached... [View all]Moral Compass
(2,390 posts)I do not believe that Trump will be impeached. I'm certain of that.
Impeachment is a political not a criminal process. Even if it is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump is guilty of it all including collusion and even treason his party will not impeach him. And they have the votes.
The Republicans will not allow articles of impeachment to come to the House floor.
I'm not even certain at this point if impeachment is it in our best interest
I'm certainly not convinced it is in the interest of the country.
There is no mechanism that is defined by the Constitution that allows for a wholesale replacement of an entire government. And that is what we need. If Trump goes then we get Pence. If Pence goes then we get Ryan. If Ryan goes I think it goes to Orrin Hatch.
How does that benefit anyone? Until we get to the 2018 elections there is no hope on the horizon. I'm not even sure if there is any hope in 2018.
I just saw some interviews on a Dallas television station. The Democrats interviewed,of course, think that this is utterly damning. The Trump voter that was interviewed saw nothing at all. He thinks his guy is doing great.
And that in a nutshell sums it all up.
Until there is a national consensus and it is bipartisan I don't think anything is going to happen.
As amazing as that seems.
