We have screamed from the rooftop about every damn crime, outrage by tRump and he eludes any significant negative opinion wherein the obstructions, the GOP will take notice.

Perhaps it is the reason for his increasingly bad behavior lately. He's waving a red cape at the Democratic majority in the House.

He ran in 2015-16 as some sort of underdog. It's difficult to do that when you're an incumbent, and impeachment proceedings that have little to no chance of actually unseating him fit the script nicely. Impeachment proceedings also suck the oxygen out of the room for our primary process.

We need to concentrate on replacing him at the ballot box.

sick and tired of the job. I believe he’s secretly looking for an escape route. I just don’t know how he would handle the embarrassment of leaving after one term.

leverage his victimhood with his cult members thru impeachment, then by all means, he'd love impeachment. Cry, wail, bombast, and the money would no doubt flow into his coffers from the idiots who think he's their messiah. He could make millions on it.
