After all the terrible things that Trump has done to our nation, this is all we've got???

With only two articles of impeachment, The House will be portrayed as conceding that all other accusations against Trump are empty of substance and these two articles represent all they have. That's what Trump is claiming now and that claim sounds frighteningly compelling. The Republicans will dispose of this and Democrats will have nothing.

This is a really bad idea. Making this simple to understand also makes it simple to dismiss, and that's exactly what will happen. This is probably the only chance the House will get and they need to put everything they have into it, else Trump will have a green light to do whatever he pleases for the rest of his term, and any future impeachment efforts by Democrats will get laughed off the stage.

Every impeachable transgression that Trump has committed must be included in those articles of impeachment.
