Bill Weld: Impeach Trump, Even if He’s Reelected
National Review ^ | 08/26/2019 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 08/26/2019 10:14:45 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Republican presidential primary challenger William Weld recently offered the most drastic response to the idea of how Trump opponents should respond to his reelection: impeach and attempt to remove him from office, despite the voters’ verdict.

“And I’ve long said that one of two things was going to happen: Either the sober second judgment of the community’s going to kick in, which may be happening in the last month or so. I think the president’s gone a little bit further on the proverbial limb in terms of lashing out all day long. And people will look at that and say, hm, maybe that’s not my dish after all.”

And if not and Trump is re-elected?

“I think Congress should impeach him.”

Salute Weld for his honesty, I suppose; he’s perfectly comfortable overruling the decision of the American voters at the ballot box. Then again, Bill Clinton was polling pretty well when the GOP attempted to impeach and remove him from office in 1998–1999 as well.

But we can only imagine the response of Trump supporters if somehow he won reelection, but then a short time later, a Democratic House impeached him and a combination of Democratic senators and 20 or so GOP senators agreed to remove him from office. Even a failed impeachment after Trump’s reelection would be seen as a bitter effort to further tarnish the reputation of a president that most Democrats believed would never get one term, never mind two. Comments

In addition, Weld said, “I’ve recently read the law memo that Hillary Rodham and I wrote for the Nixon impeachment, and it’s very good. It’s balanced and makes it clear that conduct that’s not consonant with the conception of how the office should operate, including dignity, decency is grounds for removal. It doesn’t have to be a criminal offense.”

It’s interesting how dignity and decency are defined differently in different eras. In 1964, Lyndon Johnson gave a press conference to reporters buck naked.

I find it astonishingly amazing how President Trump alone has smoked out all these Globalist Marxist’s that Have had their eye on, and have spent their life trying to destroy America one piece at a time their Entire Careers.

If they would have Moved to Jupiter like they PROMISED, none of this would be happening.

From May of 2016. Clearly no love lost to this asshole from Trump

It appears Donald Trump did not appreciate Bill Weld comparing his immigration plan to the Holocaust.

Asked about the Kristallnacht comparison the former Massachusetts made when talking about Trump’s proposal to deport an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants from the country, the Republican candidate responded in true Trump form.

“I don’t talk about his alcoholism, so why would he talk about my foolishly perceived fascism?” Trump told The New York Times through a spokeswoman. The comment appeared as part of article published Saturday about the rise of right-wing nationalism in other countries amid his campaign’s success.

Nobody can deny it’s a coup that we thought was thwarted. I see it more as an Illuniati/Globalist thing. Having the US overwhelmed by people with less propensity to govern themselves is part of the strategy.

there aren’t multiple replies within the same thread. it’s only once as my reply within this specifically related (impeachment) thread.

if you’re reading yet another specifically related (impeachment) thread and see my same reply (in the form of gif) to the similar subject matter again, well, that too is my single reply within that thread.

good to know you’re also reading every thread/article on the impeachment subject as well... ;)

When I view FR, it is by “comments” not “articles”. Just about the only thing visible was your reply to all of them, an entire page of your reply, over and over again. Once was enough.
