You don't know if that will happen and neither does Yang. brush Dec 2019 #56

What does he suggest we do to hold Trump accountable ??? SamKnause Dec 2019 #6

He will be IMPEACHED by the House. He might not be convicted... brush Dec 2019 #59

Yang's campaign is a disaster Joe941 Dec 2019 #7

That's funny considering who he's outlasted. nt redqueen Dec 2019 #8

Which is irrelevant if he doesn't outlast the top four. TwilightZone Dec 2019 #17

Regardless, his campaign is obviously not a disaster. redqueen Dec 2019 #25

Yang's campaign a disaster? Probably not the right word. How about futile? redstateblues Dec 2019 #78

The only thing worse than impeachment is not impeaching corrupt and criminal behavior. hay rick Dec 2019 #29

Yang has also supported impeachment, but I don't think his comment in OP is particularly helpful now Hoyt Dec 2019 #34

There's no evidence supporting his assertions. TwilightZone Dec 2019 #36

Honestly... Salviati Dec 2019 #44

Good point. Cha Dec 2019 #63

So we're supposed to shut up and do nothing about his crimes? dalton99a Dec 2019 #47

We're supposed to defeat him in the election, after which you can indict him. brooklynite Dec 2019 #68

You don't think anything he did is impeachable? dalton99a Dec 2019 #69

I don't think Impeaching him increases the chance of his electoral loss or criminal indictment brooklynite Dec 2019 #72

Exactly. This is a lame argument by a political neophyte. nt Maven Dec 2019 #75
