Was impeachment worth it? [View all]

...we proved trump was a criminal (with facts and evidence) and that republicans have bestowed trump with dictatorial powers to undermine our future elections and more...

...as facts, witnesses and evidence emerge, Democrats will now have the opportunity to discuss this at length with conviction and credibility going forward to November...

...impeachment has demonstrate in the public mind a very important fact,

...the Democratic Party is not only on the right side of history, the Constitution and America with impeachment, we're strong enough and fearless enough to challenge the autocratic and dictatorial rule of trump and the republicans...we're more than capable in image and grit...

...to have done nothing would have displayed weakness, fear and cowardness in the face of trump's impeachable acts and agression…

...thanks to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Representative Adam Schiff and the brave group of Managers, we have conclusively demonstrated that we are not only the Party of true American values, the Constitution and American freedom, we are the Party capable and willing to kick trump's ass and hold him accountable...

Was impeachment worth it?

...IMO, more than worth it....

...what do you say?
