In reply to the discussion: So, What if the House of Representatives Decided to Proceed with Impeachment? [View all]sinkingfeeling
(51,438 posts)5. Then we can arrange the funeral for America and it's democracy
Afterthought: I, for one, think the Democratic Party looks weaker every day. If any Democratic rep puts their re-election above the Constitution and rule of law, then I would never vote for them. This 'hold off until the election' is an excuse to do nothing. So is being afraid to start an impeachment inquiry because it might not have the votes.
Democrats need to get tough and stand up and act.

Agreed. To rely on the 2020 election misses the OP's many salient points.

If the Dems don't move aggressively against Trump now, there will be no 2020 election.
