I used to think impeachment was impossible. Thing is, you always have to consider that people act according to how they are compensated.
This latest thing - the swap. It’s a clear violation of the law on a lot of levels, including perhaps treason.
If you are a Democrat, and you want your credibility back, you may just decide that one bit of practical bipartisanship is to jettison Obama.
Behind closed doors, they are there. So many of them rue the day they got behind the guy. There are a few unemployed electeds that got behind Obamacare.
You never know. Both parties win from impeaching the guy. The country looks more united, etc.
It’s not the impossibility it was three weeks ago. Between the VA and this latest thing, it may be possible now.
Obama is already a lame duck and the Democrats really aren't worried about him at all. The maximum damage their boy can cause now is loss of the Senate, for which they were already set. I.E., the 2014-2016 script is already written.
Scenario:
Economic collapse blamed on Republican obstructionism during the period when the GOP will ostensibly control House and Senate.
In 2016, The Democrats bolstered by millions of new votes, FRAUD, and lackluster Republican turnout, sweep back in.
The Only Real Question:
Will the Republicans use Congressional power to thwart Obama's last two years and make a last ditch effort to save the Republic by rolling bck his anti-constitutional agenda? Or, will they just make more corrupt hay while the sun shines and let the rest of us go to hell?
I don't see any Republican sense of urgency. There's no Program, no Plan to implement it, and no Leader to handle what has to be done has as yet emerged.
also, there is a very practical aspect to your point. the RATS need to clear the deck for the hildebeast and cut her loose from any negative obozo ties.
they will do whatever they can to make sure her skirt is clean, so doing what you are suggesting would very much help them accomplish this.
