Impeachment Is About Ending Presidential Elections

FTA:
Matt Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union, described Democrats’ impeachment push against President Donald Trump as a political measure to bring an end to presidential elections.
...
Future Republican presidents will face the same political tactics as Trump has since 2016, Schlapp predicted.

“Whoever comes in the wake of Donald Trump — and I believe he’ll get a second term — this is what awaits them,” warned Schlapp. “If they can impeach you and then remove you when you’ve never committed a crime, it really means there’s no elections. It’s not just the electoral college they want to get rid of, it’s essentially presidential elections.”

Meet the Muslim Republican Iraqi Refugee Who’s Looking to Unseat Ilhan Omar

FTA:
When President Trump ended the murderous reign of Qassem Soleimani...Ilhan Omar was outraged, attacking the President, defending the terrorist, driving further and further apart. She claims to speak for all Muslims, but she does not speak for me.

***It’s not just the electoral college they want to get rid of, it’s essentially presidential elections***

I doubt this. Oh, sure; the Dems want to eliminate opposition in Prez elections... Pelosi has said that those not voting Dem will pay a price. However, since the end of WWI all governments have claimed to be 'Democratic', even when they garnered 99% of the popular vote.

As to eliminating the Electoral College, Dems think they have found a way to accomplish that without a Constitutional amendment. Right now Virginia is attempting to follow Colorado's lead and assign their electors to whoever wins the national popular vote.

The obvious Constitutional argument against that is that they are disenfranchising their own voters - to my non-legal mind. The real question is whether the 'pubbies or anyone else will fight the fight.
