how and how much?

If I were a political scientist, I wouldn't be watching MSNBC, I'd be giving the populace time for this to soak in and try to assess for change in them. However, watching MSNBC suggests to me that the Republican controlled congress is not to the point of impeaching. That could conceivably change any day now, or take months more.

Imo, gaining control of congress is infinitely more important at this point than pushing ineffectually for impeachment as a minority party would be, no matter how earnest and justified. So I'm going to say our candidates should take any stand that helps get them elected/reelected. If that means throwing up blue-dog arms and pantomiming horror at the very thought of impeachment, so be it.
