    The Dems will introduce a bill in the US House of Representatives to impeach President Trump and they will pass it in the House. The trial in the US Senate will fail. The best thing that the Senate could do in my opinion is to allow each Senator to speak for five minutes and then have a vote. It would be over in 500 minutes at the most.

    We are past the days of any serious moral outrage. The Democrats probably will impeach Trump and it will fall flat in the Senate. Trump will then do everything he can to pay the Democrats back. Trump's base will turn out en masse in 2020 and he will be re-elected. He will then employ a scorched earth policy against his political enemies during his last term. It is going to be a real mess.

    It was a mistake not to bring criminal charges against Hillary and Obama.

    If the Dems were smart (don't start making jokes), they would wait to see what happens in the 2020 election before trying impeachment and then do so only *if* Trump is reelected and *if* the Dems regain control of the Senate.

    Otherwise any such proceedings at the present time will look just like the comedy of errors we saw when Clinton was impeached by the Republican House with a Democrat Senate that would never vote to convict.

    Aaron, I am worried that such a false impeachment will be bad for the economy because many will perceive it as a naked power grab and nothing else. The Clintons actually were involved with the Russians. Trump thought about building a building in Russia but never did. Personally, I am very worried that this will have a very bad effect on the economy because it will reveal the American character and judicial system as essentially depraved. What do you think?

    It probably will, but to breaking the Socialist stranglehold on his nation won't happen without cost or a fight. Hopefully, it won't come to taking up arms.

    Impeachment is the constitutional way to do something about a President whom the Congress feels is something that needs to be done. The Republicans did it against Clinton and I did not criticize them for it, nor will I criticize the Democrats for doing the same thing - at least now, finally, they are actually respecting the U.S. Constitution.

    Let them make their case with their prosecution and see what happens in the Senate. They won the last congressional election and they now have power to do what they have long said they would do if elected. If we had elected more Republican members of Congress this would not be happening. We lost, they won.

    IF the House goes for it, the Senate as you stated here will not, and Trump will have BIG time effect upon his base, mas we saw what happened to them when the Judge was getting roasted, what happens to them when th Trump himself is getting same treatment?

    Of course, but the question is, who would do it? There seem far too many deep state actors that are either outright Dems or else RINOs.
