26. He already went too far but there is one difference

I agree he already committed felonies and impeachment has taken too long.

This time he has declared that he can and did abuse the power of the office to go after his leading opponent in the 2020 election. He would do the same to whoever the leading candidate is.

Some people thought that removing him in the next election was an alternative to impeachment. I wanted an impeachment investigation (I even predicted it would happen late summer).

It’s hard to argue that we can count on winning the next election when trump announces he will use all the power of the presidency to stay in power.

I would agree he already cheated to win in 2016 but it is even more dangerous when he admits to using the power of the presidency to cheat in 2020

I’m just glad this was enough to get the ball rolling. Finally.
