kentuck (93,144 posts)https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212459702Should they impeach or should they not?Nancy Pelosi is correct - it would divide the country.But, the country will be divided so long as Trump is the President, whether or not there is an impeachment. That is not a good reason to not impeach Donald Trump.The other excuse is political. Many of the new Democrats elected in the last election come from previously red districts and they do not wish to gamble with an impeachment hearing.So they are stuck in the middle. The Judiciary Committee has voted to call witnesses but many doubt if they are serious about the investigation. We shall see in the next two or three weeks.They simply cannot decide. It is a dilemma for them. We will not know for sure if it is an historical blunder until after the next election? They say they are looking for the facts. Some ask, how many more facts do they need?

As far as I'm concerned,they can go ahead and impeach the ****er, and then when the GOP senate doesn't convict him they can equate them to an all-white jury in Mississippi in the '50s acquitting a white man accused of killing a black man (thanks to Richard Painter for the analogy).
kentuck (93,144 posts) 6. They are fearful and not confident they can carry the argument.There is no easy answer.However, I agree with you that they could credibly blame Republicans if they refused to convict. After all, he is an unindicted co-conspirator in a pay-off scheme to keep women quiet just before the election. He may have lost if they had not been paid off and had gone public just before the election. Also, it has been known to everyone since day one that Donald Trump is violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution.Now, we hear that he is making money off our military staying at his golf club in Scotland. Also, he lied about not doing business with Russia.All this and about eight or ten charges of obstruction of justice. Why would any Democrat be fearful of prosecuting that argument?

Brawndo (497 posts) 9. If "The public isn't there on impeachment" then LEAD them to it Speaker PelosiShe is currently the highest elected Democrat and the leader/face of our party. If not her, then who is supposed to be trying to move public opinion?
This may surprise the DUmmies, but I'm totally in favor of impeachment. Once you have identified and proven the high crimes and misdemeanors that President Trump is guilty of.
…..how many more facts do they need?.....
