Been around since 1998. wow.
Have read a number of your posts and they are sharp.
I thought the dems would be afraid of backlash.
i guess the backlash from the base would be worse if they didn’t.
There are a number of issues that make impeachment a certainty.
First, the Dems live in a bubble. They think Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley still tell most people what to think.
Mre important, though, is the encouragement they are getting from Senate Republicans. Sotto vocce, yes, but it’s very real.
Third is, as you point out, their base.
And, yes, I’ve been here since 1998. I was all-out for Clinton’s impeachment. Events have proven me wrong, though - it helped him, and it hurt us long term.
Hopefully what they are about to do will have the same effect - except that in 1998, there were huge majorities in the Senate with girlfriends of their own who thought it was a joke, now, at least 60% of them want Trump gone.
Interesting times.
