Why Trump should be impeached?

If Democrats were to win back the House in November, and that is a big "IF", then they should impeach Donald Trump?

Why?

Because things are not going to get any better under Trump if they wait until 2020. He is a threat to our democracy and he is a threat to our domestic and national security. Simply taking the matches away is not enough.

But what happens if the Repubs are still in control of the Senate? That is even more reason to impeach.

Because, Republicans should be forced to vote yes or no to impeach Donald Trump. If disaster happens between November 2018 and November 2020, then Republicans are the only ones to blame. They should think long and hard if they want Trump as President until 2020?

It is very doubtful that America can withstand this demagogue until 2020?

Impeachment is quickly becoming the only option, in my opinion.

2. We should not assume that the Congress will follow the suggestions of Robert Mueller.

Even if there were crimes committed, Republicans do not have to vote to impeach. I think that may be the dilemma?

and as we have seen, some have decided to just bail rather than face that decision.

The Pig will have to create an existential crisis for Republican Party, and the country, not just a passing threat...

I am talking hundreds of thousands dead, or crashing our entire economy. Otherwise not gonna happen.

His unilateral decisions on tariffs and immigration and North Korea are recent examples of disasters ready to happen. They are gambling with their political futures so long as Trump is in charge. I do not believe it would be an easy decision for many of them to make? But, in my opinion, they should be forced to vote yes or no on Trump impeachment. That would be the only card left for Democrats if they were to win the House. If they cannot win the House, just bend over and kiss our asses goodbye, I guess?? Or start stocking up on ammo and canned goods? There are not a lot of options left for the Democrats, unfortunately.
