    Maybe impeachment but not removal. I have been cautious about impeachment because removal is not going to happen. I have said in the past that if the Dems were smart they would use their resources at the ballot box. Of course that would mean they need a better than just candidate and no such candidate in the Democratic stable has shown up.

    I think that Congrmn Saun Patrick Maloney of New York may make a really decent VEEP candidate.

    "My Republican colleagues will show indignation today, but when Trump stands up and questions the findings of out intelligence agency in Helsinky, they are SILENT."

    Nicely done Schiff.

    Well that goes to show you the Democrats think he is an idiot too because he won't win the nomination. He always has been a stumbling bumbling idiot. You call the President a *****ing moron (have no idea what those *'s mean) but actually you would be the ****ing moron to believe the man who ran for President against an absolutely hostile media, and a bunch of rabid leftists, while displacing at least seven of his own party (mostly RINOS) won the 2016 election in a Constitutional landslide!! Now don't give me any crappy excuses about that.

    I don't need to give a crappy excuse for electing a "****ing moron" because I didn't vote for a "****ing moron." And that quote comes to us courtesy of the ****ing moron's own former Secretary of State.

    And you are never going to be on the winning side of an argument when you attempt to compare Trump's intellect to any other major political candidate.

    Unlike your wannabe dictator BLOTUS it was the HOUSE that decided on the rules for the inquiry, not Schiff.

    The GOP has OBSTRUCTED all attempts to PREVENT the Russians hacking into the 2020 elections just like they did in 2016. The integrity of the results is still TBD as far as I am concerned.

    Why would you, or anyone for that matter, accept results that they know are compromised by foreign nations with nefarious intentions? This applies regardless of the outcome.

    Indeed. Trump is a 'stable genius,' you know. He said so.

    Let me ask you for the third time. Did you accept the results of the 2016 election and WILL you accept the results of the 2020 election? Its a simple yes or no. Stop with all the theatre to avoid a simple answer.

    The 2016 results were the result of FOREIGN interference and Minority Voter Suppression by the GOP and therefore the Will of the People was thwarted. Anyone who denies this is denying FACTUALLY DOCUMENTED reality.

    If the same occurs in 2020 the Will of the People will also be thwarted.

    On the positive side the GOP Minority Voter Suppression is being rolled back by Progressives who have done the math and realize that there are more than enough of those votes to defeat the GOP in 2020.

    The question YOU won't answer is WHY did you accept the 2016 result KNOWING that they were RIGGED?

    Or don't you actually give a crap about the Will of the People and the Individual RIGHT to vote?

    So what is your answer?You still are not able to say yes or no. Did you accept the results of the 2016 election? Will you accept the results of the 2020 election? I have told you several times without any hesitation on my part that I accepted the results of the 2016 election and I will fully accept the results of the 2020 election. Since the very first time I cast a vote I have accepted the results of our Presidential election regardless of the political affiliation, and I intend to in the future accept the results of the dually elected leader of our Country.

    No.

    Have you ever heard Trump speak about any topic where you walked away thinking, "that guy has spent time studying and understands the subtle nuances of the topic?"

    I uphold your right to do as you please and I exercise my own right as to whether or not I am satisfied that ALL of my fellow Americans had their right to vote in free and fair elections upheld.

    ROFL! This thread didn't age well. The Democrats suicided publicly... it was glorious!

    Hmmm...how? The witnesses pretty much dismantled every single GOP talking point and left them with three primary defenses, as far as I can tell.

    1) There is no one who can say that they personally saw or heard Trump demand a link between the aid and the investigation (this defense conveniently ignores the fact that Trump has stonewalled and prevented a whole host of potential documents and primary witnesses who might possess that information....which is actually and conveniently making the other articles of impeachment [Obstruction] even stronger).

    2) The attempted bribery was never completed because Ukraine never made the announcement regarding the investigation before the aid was released (this defense conveniently ignores the fact that Trump released the aid two days after Congress was notified about the whistleblower complaint...in other words, Trump released the aid because he got caught and attempted bribery is still a crime).

    3) The impeachment inquiry was "boring" or "would not move the needle much" because we had access to most of the evidence and information before those witnesses testified publicly (this defense isn't really a defense, but it does make removal slightly less likely to occur, I guess).

    Good lord man. You actually believe the lies fed to you by the MSM. Your ship is sinking, but keep playing that violin!

    My Congressman, Harley Rouda was all over Twitter until this week ranting about Impeaching Trump. He is in a toss up district. This week... NOTHING... he's quiet. He has seen the polls and knows he is doomed if he doesn't do something fast and distance himself form this train wreck. It's hilarious.

    Did you accept the results of the 2016 Presidential Election? Will you accept the results of the 2020 Presidential election? You keep dancing around giving a simple yes or no answer.

    Well....my my my you seemed to have disappeared without answering my questions. Did you accept the results of the 2016 election? Will you accept the results of the 2020 election? A very simple yes or no will do.

    The OP can only be believed if you don’t read the transcripts or didn’t listen to the testimonies.

    Are you saying a wide definition of nothing is preferred? After all, still nothing.

    They all testified to a perception that they all want to be true. Big deal.

    LOL, like the media does but ignores all the inconvenient facts like Stefanik asking each one specifically a number of questions if they witnessed anything. Of course every single one said no.
