    1. The Mueller probe was clear. Trump did not collude wuth Russia to win in 2016. So I'm not sure why you brought that up.

    2. Not tryongbto sell anything. I don't think anyone should be lobbying anyone for dirt on candidates like the DNC did in 2016 via fision GPS. It's very telling about the state of politics in America that our candidates are running on how bad the other guy is rather than how good a candidate is.

    Romney, Sasse, Kasich, Kennedy could all be serious candidates against whoever the Dems run. If Trump is dumped or quits early enough, any of those candidates could win. The hard core Trumpists would be pissed at first but their hate of the Democrats would overcome that obstacle . Also many independents and former Republicans who realize that Trump is a disaster will come out and vote for a real Republican.

    Well if you think that Trump won't "leave the election process alone, and let us have a free and fair election," then you probably find yourself agreeing with many far left activists that Trump is a would be dictator, a Trumptator, and he wouldn't leave office if he lost a fair election anyway. So if you think that, then maybe an impeachment is your last chance to take him down before he burns down the Reichstag and declares himself Trumfuhrer .

    Well I can only encourage the Democrats, and wish them good luck in their future endeavors.

    I agree. Trump is a big corruption fighter which is one of the main reasons he was elected. Basing our whole DOJ, State Department and our Strategic defense pacts with other countries according to their anti corruption policies seems to be the big push now in the Trump administration.

    If you have been listening to AM radio, watching Fox News and reading Breitbart and other excellent websites and blog spots, you would be well aware that Hunter Biden, his corrupt father Sleepy Creepy Joe and finding Hillary Clinton’s server and 30,000 emails in Ukraine are the largest national security risks we face as a nation at this time.

    It is also important that we know Hunter Biden got tossed from the military for testing positive for cocaine and that he is now banging his dead brother’s widow like an old screen door. He also got paid a bunch of money by a foreign corporation and that seems pretty shady. Those are the facts!!

    Now Adam Schiff who one of our astute members here, Archie clearly pointed out was a gay Jew scumbag, is trying to attack our corruption fighting hero Donald and I think that really stinks. Breitbart and Sean Hannity have pointed out that Schiff was involved with the whistle blower before he or she reported to the IG. Has it ever occurred to any of you leftist pinko commies that Schiff, being a gay
    Jew might have blown the whistle blowers “whistle” in order to get him to blow the whistle on Trump???

    This is obviously a Deep State, Soft serve, I mean soft coup, witch hunt. I support Trump in basing all foreign affair, trade decisions, and strategic military allignments entirely on whether or not ANY foreign country will help us in our sacred quest to investigate Hunter and Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton’s email server. Anti corruption is what we need to focus on, dammit!!!!

    I think he is enamoured with the power of the office , as opposed to addicted to it. He's not a man who will accept defeat with grace, class and dignity, and he is going to make that our problem. He will play games, he will play a lot of little games, and fire up his law teams to contest results, but I don't think he will nationalize the national guard, grab ballot boxes via bayonet, arrest Congress and suspend SCOTUS throw journalists in a gulag.

    He will put his thumb on the scales is small ways here and there, in this state not that state to feed his own narrative that he did not really lose...because someone else cheated.

    Dems wanted Joe Biden sacrificed. He isn't the candidate they want to run and embarrasses them every time he opens his mouth. Basically, they turned on him, like they did with Bernie in 2016.

    I think the only reason he won't do all those things is because they aren't going to let him. Trump is bloody nerts big time and will have to be dragged kicking and screaming. If only because insanity it going to be his only possible defense once he becomes indictable.

    It hurt the Republicans after impeaching Clinton, why would this be different?

    Unfortunately, for Trump worshippers, Fake Don is not Skanky Clinton whose approval level at the time of his impeachment stood at 72%, his disapproval at 25%. A majority of Americans have consistently expressed their opinion that Fake Don stinks in poll after poll. The same NBC/WSJ poll currently shows Fake Don at 43% approval, and 53% disapproval.

    What may help Fake Don is the practical need for Congress to focus upon his attempted extortion of a foreign government to discredit a formidable political rival, rather than attempting to address the multiple cases of his perfidy.

    "As you may know, the House of Representatives has begun a formal impeachment inquiry to determine whether or not to bring impeachment charges against President Trump. Do you approve or disapprove of this impeachment inquiry?"

    APPROVE: 51% // DISAPPROVE: 45%
    "Do you approve or disapprove of the way President Trump is responding to the impeachment inquiry?"

    APPROVE: 32% // DISAPPROVE: 59%
    "Do you think that the impeachment inquiry is a legitimate investigation, or a political witch hunt?"

    LEGITIMATE: 51% // A political witch hunt: 43%
    "Do you think it is acceptable for the president of the United States to ask a foreign leader to investigate a political rival, or is this not acceptable?"

    It is acceptable: 24% // It is not acceptable: 66%
    "Do you think asking a foreign leader to investigate a political rival is or is not a good enough reason to impeach a president and remove them from office?"

    Is good enough: 44% // Is not good enough: 47%

    As you can see, with one credible civil servant after another exposing Fake Don's lies, the only viable defensive strategy for Fake Don is to try to minimize the seriousness of his undeniable turpitude in his Ukrainian scandal.

    His "Everybody is being mean to me!" cry baby tantrum and attempts to obstruct testimony contrasts sharply with Skanky Clinton's cooperating with Congress and conducting business as usual during the process.

    Where's the vote for an official inquiry? The voters can see the Democrats got nuthin. By the way Hillary wins by a landslide.

    Your need to divert to Clinton and falsely characterize her collapsing margin shown in late polls is noted.

    There is no constitutional requirement for a vote for the inquiry that most Americans support, although one may be held later.
