that the prospect of earning his and her impeachments from a GOP-controlled Congress would have dissuaded the Clintons from embarking on this latest (and goddess help us, hopefully last) campaign.
Or maybe Bill's impeachment just rolled off their psyches like water off a duck?
Imagine the GOP puffed up by this chance for a second impeachment, and more likely than not, able to go all the way to removal from office. The stuff that oppo research is turning up about Hillary's time in the State Dept. is not so easily dismissed or ignored, and is a good indicator of how her presidency would operate. For all that the Clintons know more about the use (and abuse) of power than Obama ever will, there's nothing in their characters to prevent the kind of overreach that will lead us all down that merry path again.
Personally, I don't want to have to endure such antics. Once was too much.

(47,953 posts)So far, really, all the GOP attacks on them have had no real consequences. Yes Bill was impeached, but not convicted or removed from office. Everything else has been a bunch of hot air so far as they are concerned. So I would expect that they will believe this to continue to happen.Maybe they are right, after all, the GOP has been threatening to impeach Obama for nearly his entire presidency.
We shall see if the FBI does anything.

(443 posts)That lust to take down the Clintons is not appeased.
Hillary has far more cogent grounds already. Were she to continue down the path she's chosen, it would only be a matter of time and outcry.

(28,945 posts)She'd give it exactly what it wants - status quo, the pre-approved Supremes and more war. Good for business.
She's the candidate the Repubs would love to have rather than a loose canon like Rump or twitch and giggle Cruz.

(443 posts)I don't think they will get it back. The mold is broken.
Granted, the 1% still has control of the Democrats, but I don't expect that to last much longer either. By 2018 it will be an entirely different game.
