10. butbutbubububbb...The Senate won't convict!

Someone's missing the point if they believe that's the only drawback. The Republican controlled Senate has NOT PASSED any House bills that the Drumpf opposed. They're not going to pass any for the next year and a half. Take that to your friendly neighborhood bookmaker.

What the Republican Congress didn't do for Americans from 2010 to 2016 will seem puny compared to the obstruction now through 2020! They won't pass anything that might hurt Drumpf so why the hell are those Democrats in the house worried impeachment hearings will upset the public? The public isn't getting anything from the Senate anyway.

Maybe if the Democrats started getting the message out to the same public, that all the decent bills they wrote are being stopped by the Senate, maybe, just maybe, a few affecteds will see the light.

By the way, the only thing that will make Drumpf take notice is to publicly humiliate him at every point. If he can act like a petulant child, start treating him like one in public and especially in the media. The media won't go along? Keep at it until they have no choice.

Time for elected Democrats to grow...something...and do what the people want.

We need to at least start an Impeachment Inquiry to get to the facts. lark Jun 2019 #1
