There is no logical Democratic explanation for impeaching Donald Trump. The various factions within the Democratic Party calling for impeachment are united only by their loathing of Donald Trump, the person, and his systematic repeal of the Obama progressive project.

House members just want to go on record that they impeached him and put an asterisk on his presidency at worst, and at best drive his polls down to prevent his reelection.

Is there an asterisk next to Billybob Clinton? Did his polls go down? Did it affect his popularity among Dems? House Dems are delusional, heck, all Dems are...

It's right in front of your eyes you blind fool. It's called graft and corruption. It's the rats in the deep state eating out the US treasury so thoroughly that we are now running $1T deficits, needed to get new folks on the game to keep the Ponzi scheme against the taxpayer going. You thing Hunter's deal was unique? No. Quid Pro was in on it? Defend him you discover the two whistleblowers are corrupt up to their eyeballs. Think Shifty isn't corrupt? Everyone in the DC metro area is on the game. Everyone. And then tentacles spread out through the rest of the country and rest of the world.

It's totally "logical."

If congress is allowed to impeach Trump because he is a Republican, then it looks like only democrat presidents will be allowed to peacefully serve as president of the U.S. from now on.

not true.
While many conservatives hated the magic negro’s guts we still treated him with the respect accorded the presidency.
Course no one wanted to be called a racist just for denouncing the marxist a-hole.
After the way the libs have treated The Donald, all bets are off.
They give us a lib dunce for a president pushing socialism and gub mint is omnipresent and ALL conservatives will treat that baboso with contempt.

The “rats in the deep state” are both Dems and Republicans. The corruption by proxy with close family and friends benefiting is what top politicians in DC want to protect. Congress writes the laws to make it legal. It might effect voters if exposed, however, so they want it kept secret.

Read Peter Schweizer’s book “Secret Empires” for some powerful examples and explanations.

Personally, I doubt whether the House will impeach Trump. They are in disarray right now.

SchifftyEyes keeps moving the goal posts. Now he claims they don't need a "whistleblower" as a witness. He probably thinks that can impeach Trump based on his own parody of Trump's phone call.

I think this a strategy to drag this "inquiry" out with headlines and sensationalism in an attempt to damage Trump during the 2020 campaign.

But even if the House does vote articles of impeachment against Trump, it will stop dead in it's tracks in the Senate, his poll numbers will rise, fundraising will go through the roof and he will handily win reelection in 2020.

The Democrats are doing one of two things--if they have enough votes, they're going to drag out the "impeachment inquiry" as long as they can to inflict damage on Trump, re-election-wise. This may or may not be a good strategy.

The second thing is that they may yet still be whipping for votes to get a majority of Dems that will actually vote for impeachment. I don't think this is a slam dunk, and I think there's a real calculus going on to see if they can get through this process without losing their entire House majority.

Rational reasoning. They’re up to no good, that’s for sure.

"..... No one knows for certain which outcome is most likely. Will Trump be so beaten down by the ordeal that he will say and do things that will add to the momentum to convict him? Will there be such chaos and disruption that Trump “fatigue” will ensue, and he and those who support him will be blamed for the mess? Will the voter go into a fetal position and just scream, “I can’t take this anymore! Make it all just go away!”?

____________

Anyone would be beaten down by this crap.

Pelosi, Nadler, Schifft, and others ...... in a better world would be publicly executed by a firing squad ........ after the proper trial, of course.
