Should the House impeach Donald Trump again?

Would it hurt them politically?

Would it just be a waste of time and energy because the Republicans would never convict him anyway?

What would be the purpose? Other than to give the Republicans one more chance to put this country on the right path?

Can we really make it to January of next year with Donald Trump as President?

I ask this as a serious question.

Do very public hearings about the response to CV and then impeach him. Squinch Apr 2020 #3

It would probably help him, because it would make the Democratic Party look like they're more focused on impeaching Trump than helping the country through this crisis.

Should he be kicked out of office? Absolutely. Just not going to happen.

The appearance will be using a catastrophe for political gain, no matter nor justified.
Just beat him in November, using his failures against him.

The only way to get rid of him is to defeat him in November. Impeaching him again now would be pointless.

We can impeach him in Nov. and then charge him with high crimes and misdemeanors through the normal court processes in Jan.

For the Senate to convict him now would be for them to admit culpability in this great disaster. Never happen.

Begin every interview with this sentence, "Trump is manifestly unfit, and must resign."
Every Democrat every interview. A steady drumbeat for resignation every day. The MSM will repeat it to Republicans and they will be forced to address it all the time until they cave and force him out. Will they? Maybe not, but changing the narrative in this way can only help for the election.

It puts the onus on Republicans to do something, or at least respond to the problem.

You just know that if every Democrat follows this messaging, the MSM will begin to ask every Republican they talk to about what THEY think about Democrat X, Y, and Z calling for resignation. Soon the print Newspapers will pick it up and run with it.

Put them on the record. They are already on the record with letting MF45 skate on impeachment by blocking his removal, well the stakes are exponentially higher now. Put them on the record again and we can do it without impeachment. Every day... every interview,
every Democrat.

Trump Out Now!

He is burying himself. We need to rally around Biden and all of our candidates. Keep our eyes on the prize kicking them all out.

saying this idiot trump should be dragged away kicking and screaming. Locked up in a room. Give Pence the keys and a list of professionals to take over the response. Order stay at home and business closers and then step the Hell out of the way. This administration of fools will kill us all given the chance.
