(10,173 posts)Because in order for impeachment proceedings to begin, we need investigations which the Democrats want but the Republicans - with the exception of Graham and McCain - don't want.
But I do agree about the Democrats coming up with a better plan but you sound like you think they aren't working - they are.
Even Sanders has shifted the conversation to saving the ACA as is and fixing it, rather than attacking it which he has done in the past. I happen to agree that we need to work towards universal health care coverage but let's be clear - Obamacare changed the baseline, millions of Americans now see coverage as a right. This is already change.
And I have confidence in Ellison and Perez to get things going. Everything I've heard from the democrats suggest they're aware of 2018, and it's critical they harness the organic energy fermenting against Trump right now.
