then we should have no problem picking up enough seats

Let me introduce you to a new subject. Math. the Republicans hold 41 seats, out of 100, in the Senate. There will be 36 seats up for election this November. (34 full terms, and 2 unexpired terms). The Republicans already hold 18 of those 36 seats. So if they keep every seat they have, and take every seat the Democrats are defending, they will be plus 18. 41 + 18 = 59 It takes 67 votes to convict in the Senate.

I hate to spoil your Walter Mitty fantasy (not really), but I'll ask again, just where do you plan to find 67 votes in the Senate to convict Obama?

We'd get plenty of DemocRATS to join. After the GOP sweep, followed by thousands of tea parties from coast to coast, they'd see the writing on the wall. But none of that will happen unless we SAY that is what we will do. Unless the GOPers commit to impeachment, much of the base will stay home. Why vote for RINOs?

But, if the RATs to decide to obstruct... well, we have the Oath Keepers and 5 votes in the Supreme Court to fall back on. Patriotic elements in the military and law enforcement will defend the Constitution.

But AGAIN, we have to make it clear that REMOVAL of the Kenyan Usurper (and possibly Biden as well) will be the #1 goal of a conservative majority in Congress.
