If you go for impeachment now - IT WILL FAIL. The House may pass it (no may about it, actually), the Senate will ignore it. It’d never even come to the floor.
The ire of the LIVs at the Repubs daring to try impeach their beloved, freebie giving Messiah will drive them to the polls in record numbers. Removing any chance of taking the Senate and getting rid of Dingy Harry, who is far more dangerous in the long term than the Worm can even dream of being.
You call it loading 16 tons for the man. I call it not wanting to lose the war for the sake of a couple of soundbites. Did the Clinton years teach you nothing? The House voted to impeach, it died in the Senate and now Clinton is more popular with his base than ever. You really want to set up Michelle’s run in 2020? I am betting that Hillary’s ascent can be directly be tied in to the impeachment of her husband. A sympathy vote is a powerful thing on the left - where they react from “feelings” not from logic.
Sorry at the tone of this - I just find it frustrating sometimes that smart, well read, informed people who actually think about the issues can be manipulated as easily as a welfare queen if the words look purty.
Not to trust Republicans like Trent Lott, and those that will not fight for fear of losing.
The idiots let the democrats turn the whole thing into a sex scandal and ignore the real criminal charges for which the President was disbarred.
