NYT opinion: Impeachment is an act of desperation

Why do they allow this drivel to be posted??

There will be no resignation, there will be no conviction in the Senate.
But there will be an election. And by focusing on their obsession with the person of Donald Trump, Democrats are giving up the opportunity to talk about wages, employment, the shrinking middle class or any of the other things that motivate normal voters. After two and a half years of hearing about Russia, Russia, Russia, there are vanishingly few swing voters who want to spend the next 14 months hearing about Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.


Why are all these talking heads trying to second guess our Speaker? IMO, she calculated correctly and is striking at the opportune time. Its getting frustrating to see the naysayers.
