(1,977 posts)Things are pretty bad but when we use impeachment as the tool to investigate with then we are done. There are other methods to getting the Mueller report that need to be exhausted first. And keep in mind that when she said that we didnt even have a completed Mueller report. Using impeachment in that manner may very well be disastrous for our party and make our road to governing a more difficult one to travel. We dont even know that we definitely have the numbers in the house to bring impeachment. Nevermind it not succeeding in the senate. If we use impeachment for discovery (Mueller report) and it fails.... We will be cut off at the knees. Meanwhile there are other avenues to go after the report. All of which put the onus on Republicans refusing to provide it.
Those actions by republicans and Trump are great for our party in the runup to 2020. I dont like where we are at. I dont like what Trump is doing to our country. But pinning our hopes on impeachment at this time when we know it goes nowhere? I agree with Pelosi. He isnt worth the gamble. If we cant vote this guy out then hang it up.
