Impeach Trump or Else: Top Dem Pays Price for Urging 'Patience' With the President

For many Democrats, when it comes to the most divisive and unpopular president in modern history, there is only one word they want to see uttered in the context of Donald Trump's future, and as California Senator Dianne Feinstein has found out in recent days, painfully, that word is “impeachment” and certainly not “patience.”

“Look, this man is going to be president, most likely for the rest of this term,” Feinstein said at an event at the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco earlier this week. “I think we have to have some patience—it’s eight months into the tenure of the presidency.”

Feinstein went further still, saying there remained reason to have faith in the Republican in the White House: “I just hope he has the ability to learn and change—and if he can, he can be a good president.”

She did not have to wait long to learn how her comments would be received. The audience immediately greeted her words with boos and shouts of, “Oh, come on.”

A day later, fellow Democrat Kevin de León, the California state Senate leader, issued another stinging rebuke.

1. "hope he has the ability to learn and change" -- D Feinstein

He can't change. He has zero empathy which is born, not learned.

2. If what she says was in a NY Times editorial...

..we'd all be fuming about them "normalizing" Trump's behavior and all that.

4. Senator Feinstein is on my speeddial, I need to give her a call.

I really wish Gavin Newsom would run for her seat. He'd make a better senator than governor.

Somebody needs to make a STRONG bid for her seat.
