“Any other president like tie CIC would have been impeached long ago, literally several times over.”
I doubt Speaker John Boehner has the stomach to allow impeachment hearings against any Democrat President for any reason. Even If the Democrat President was impeached, it is nearly impossible to imagine a Harry Reid and Democrat controlled Senate would vote to convict on any charge. The Republican controlled Senate would not vote to convict Bill Clinton in 1999. 10 Republicans, along with all Democrat Senators voted “not guilty” on the perjury charge!
As far as the Republican establishment is concerned trying to impeach a Democrat President is like handling toxic waste. I predict if there ever is an impeachment again, it will be a Republican President by a Democrat Congress intent on neutering the Republican.
and they will get GOPe help
Republicans are already neutered. Best case scenario: they’re in the way.
