Once we begin impeachment hearings, the whole world of trump misdoings becomes about that word. Just as we have slavered over the word "collusion". It became the only thing Mueller was about.
The republicans can fight a word. They will turn every waking moment into screaming about "impeachment". The dimwitted voters who can't decide whether to vote for trump or not will fall for it. It's just a word. It's all we have to worry about. It will take the place of talking about what trump has done. Those who think the voters will follow the evidence and weigh the deeds are overestimating voters. Remember. Trump got elected president.
Once we have impeached the orange toad and satan's minions in the senate have voted him innocent, the only thing those voters will hear is "He was proven innocent."
Don't take impeachment off the table. Don't declare that we won't impeach. Dangle it. Threaten it. Hold oversight hearings. Just continue to dig up the filth that trump leaves wherever he goes. Don't give them just one word to fight. Give them scandal after scandal, crime after crime. And keep asking republican senators whether they think those crimes are impeachable. Do they think money laundering for the russian mafia is okay? Do they think a president too cowardly to testify deserves office? Keep at them. We have a Senate to turn as well as a white house.
Don't fall into the republican's hands by doing exactly what they want us to do.

(9,696 posts)By saying it was off the table, it doesn't make the democrats look to eager. Now she's saying she wants the truth, which means a bus load of investigations. Eventually she will say that the public wants the impeachment when the polls show it's over 50%.
Makes it look less political this way.
