The inability to remember three things killed the Presidential campaign of Rick Perry.

elections are not contiguous. They are each stand alone, independent of each other, and not interrelated.

This impeachment crap will most likely be a circus sideshow all summer long.
Nothing good will come of it, no matter the outcome of the trail in the senate.
