In reply to the discussion: To those who say that impeachment is not necessary because the voters can decide in 2020 [View all]stillcool
(32,626 posts)57. can't see the forest through the trees..
Impeachment is a show with a bad ending. Investigations and acquiring information are must haves. If you want the show, and are not concerned at all about the 2020 elections..go for it. I'm sure no one will listen to the media screaming every day how the Democrats are persecuting the President. Not to mention all the openings the show will give Republicans. I want to know, and I want to win.
