Clinton should have been impeached.
But the Republicans got played by smart politicians on the Democrat side. The Democrats made it all tawdry and all about sex. And that’s why we lost. If the Republicans had been smarter, they would have kept the focus on serious legal issues.

^^^^^ YES. THIS. THE STUPID PARTY GOT PLAYED. AGAIN! ^^^^^
Please get the terminology correct. These distinctions are Constitutionally important.
1. Clinton was impeached,
2. He was acquitted in the Senate trial.
I agree with Gingrich in the sense, if there was any doubt* about getting a Senate conviction the impeachment shouldn’t have been done at all. All the Clinton impeachment did was cheapen the process. I was all for it at the time. Hindsight now says it was a mistake.
* There was never going to be the 2/3rds Senate majority for conviction no matter what evidence was presented.
