You might also want to point out that if the Dimbulbs HAD voted for conviction on the impeachment, we would in all likelihood had President Gore today, since removing x42 would have given us Gore, who would have run as an incumbent in 2000. Even the Dimbulbs didn't want that, apparently! LOL! The main point is that conviction on impeachment wouldn't have reversed ANYTHING, of course, but you'd never guess from their talking points.

That (impeachment success likely would have led to Pres. Gore today) is what I always point out in response to this "impeachment was an attempt to re-do an election" nonsense.

What I love??? is that Democrats who are intellectually honest have to concede that this is likely. (Nuanced ones also say, grudgingly, Yeah-but-it'd've-harmed-the-Constitution. To which I say: fine, but how 'bout if Clinton just "resigned for the good of the nation" and still thereby installed Pres. Gore? They don't have a good answer to that. And they all have to agree that Gore likely would have won outright election in 2000 as a sitting pres.)
