In reply to the discussion: My Theory With Nancy, the Dems & Impeachment...... [View all]MadMike47
(106 posts)39. Never give it to the Senate
I agree that the House should initiate an impeachment inquiry. But they should allow their investigations to drag on right up to the election without ever bringing charges because they should never turn the process over to the Republican-controlled Senate. Never trust Mitch McConnell to allow fifteen senators to vote Trump out of office. It'll never happen. Keep the investigations going. Bring in the witnesses and show them every night on the national news, sweating it out in the witness chair. But even if public sentiment gets so strong that people are clamoring for charges to be brought, the Dem's would make a terrible mistake turning the process over to the Turtle Man.

I disagree. I think she'll ramp hearings to a crescendo, just before the election.

In a sense, you are correct. The strategy is long-term; but I agree with the O.P. too

+1. No hurry to send it over to the Senate. We can have 15 months of hearings.

It's the only way to make impeachment. Trump is not worth handing an acquittal to him.

Don't even give 'em a chance to acquit. Destroy Trump in House hearings for 15 months.

Yep, Trump gets impeached or the Republican Party goes down in 2020 defending the indefensible.

Your theory is flawed - based on false premise. There is no "solid case that repubs cant deny"
