From pundits to people on the street, the calls for impeachment have been increasing. This gives a snowballing of support for representatives.

It is still my opinion that a formal impeachment inquiry should begin now and pull in all of various, ongoing investigations under its umbrella. I believe this will have an even larger snowball effect among the general electorate due to the increased attention it would demand from the media. That racist rally may have been the turning point for a lot of people who were not really paying attention before.
