Do Democrats have enough evidence to impeach ? [View all] kentuck Aug 2019 OP

Not for the senate... lame54 Aug 2019 #1

So that is a reason to not impeach? kentuck Aug 2019 #3

Just answering the question... lame54 Aug 2019 #5

Because an acquittal is a huge political win for him Recursion Aug 2019 #23

You can call a horse's tail a leg....but that doesn't make it so.... kentuck Aug 2019 #27

That makes no sense Recursion Aug 2019 #28

What will be the optics if the Democrats do not impeach? kentuck Aug 2019 #32

Well, Trump is underwater in every swing state, so hopefully something like they are now Recursion Aug 2019 #33

First of all, the Clinton impeachment was a different situation. kentuck Aug 2019 #37

Come on Recursion Aug 2019 #38

His supporters will love him no matter what... kentuck Aug 2019 #39

I see zero evidence republicans would distance themselves from Trump... LanternWaste Aug 2019 #54

It doesn't matter... kentuck Aug 2019 #59

Senate won't convict SidneyR Aug 2019 #62

Spoken like someone with not a lot of confidence in Democrats... kentuck Aug 2019 #63

The senate doesn't impeach Fiendish Thingy Aug 2019 #53

Trump could shoot Moscow Mitch's mother on 6th Ave TheRealNorth Aug 2019 #55

Oh, they absolutely have enough to impeach. bearsfootball516 Aug 2019 #2

No, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't do it. Act_of_Reparation Aug 2019 #4

I disagree. kentuck Aug 2019 #6

In a democratic system, optics are everything. Act_of_Reparation Aug 2019 #12

I double disagree. A thing may be about more than a singular concept. LanternWaste Aug 2019 #56

Again, the Senate does not Impeach. maxsolomon Aug 2019 #8

Yes it is. His numbers go up. Recursion Aug 2019 #24

And that's a concept we're new to. Could be why we're having problems adjusting to it. LanternWaste Aug 2019 #58

Never implied that... lame54 Aug 2019 #57

They can barely get half the caucus NewJeffCT Aug 2019 #7

In my opinion, that is two separate issues. kentuck Aug 2019 #10

Don't need any evidence dumbcat Aug 2019 #9

But will it change the votes of Democrat or Republican voters...? kentuck Aug 2019 #13

It probably will dumbcat Aug 2019 #20

Almost nobody changes their voting fescuerescue Aug 2019 #22

No. That basically never happens (nt) Recursion Aug 2019 #25

However, there are times when voters from both Parties have chosen to sit out an election... kentuck Aug 2019 #29

Yes. spanone Aug 2019 #11

Do you think Democrats will pay a heavy price if they do not impeach? kentuck Aug 2019 #14

Yes I do. Trump will pummel us for not impeaching. He'll do the same if senate doesn't convict. spanone Aug 2019 #15

This is my thinking as well LiberalLovinLug Aug 2019 #48

In the best of circumstances, in my opinion... kentuck Aug 2019 #49

I do not think that an impeachment would happen AFTER Trump won a second term LiberalLovinLug Aug 2019 #50

You may be right about that? kentuck Aug 2019 #52

The question is tirebiter Aug 2019 #16

if they cant get docs, and cant get witnesses to testify, no. mopinko Aug 2019 #17

This, exactly StarfishSaver Aug 2019 #35

Republicans in 2019 still think Nixon was treated unfairly and shouldn't have resigned Recursion Aug 2019 #26
