You think if the Dems win that they actually impeach and remove him from office?

If they think this is a winning strategy, why aren't they running on it instead of trying to hide it? What would they impeach him for? They don't say do they?

Considering their idiot base thinks that Kavanaughs confirmation plays a role "in his impending impeachment" it is safe to say they are playing to their resistance base.

It's a dangerous platform to run on - win and impeach and remove - because if it doesn't happen then it will get ugly.
It's not their platform. It just something lazy, partisan hacks say. It's a midterm election. Some are running on trade policies, healthcare, etc. Races are even more local in a midterm and yet EVERY midterm is a referendum on the President.

Exactly. In my district, the incumbant is a lazy Trump sycophant who hasn't done crap. Her challenger is embracing all sorts of local programs to improve local businesses.

It shouldn't be. Every one (D or R) bows down to their party leaders on votes, unless they can vote the opposite because it doesn't impact the results.

You mean like when the Repubs regained the majority in Congress? But...you are correct and it goes both ways.

Agree...but the Dems and the media have taken this hate and negative campaign to a whole new level.

I'm not exactly sure what part of my post you are referring to, but yes, generally the party out of power wins power in the midterm election.

I'm not sure what that has to do with my post. Are you suggesting that all races should be run on national issues only? Well.....good luck.

You are correct. Asa a side note, North carolina is not going to have to redraw their districts. Federal judges ruled it was too late.

Impeach, yes. Remove, no. At least not with current "info".
The **** are they going to impeach him for? There has to be some crime he is guilty of. With Mueller acquiescing to written responses of Trump, that ship has sailed babygirl.

There doesn't need to be a guilty verdict for impeachment. The impeachment rules are vague. It's a political thing and not a true legal things. My guess is it will be for obstruction and the campaign finance violations. That's my 2 cents, dollface.

There doesn't need to be any crime for someone to be guilty of for impeachment

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I certainly do and think you do as well, but chalk it up to you having a senior moment. Or was the terrorist fist bump coverage for the early Trump Presidency?
Senior moment? And as for a "terrorist fist bump coverage"........I have no idea what you're talking about.

Impeachment is for those that "may have committed" what you listed. Removal is on conviction. Did they have civics class when you old farts went to school?

Ok, but they're nowhere near close to any of those, with Mueller heeling for a written statement.

The House doesn't need anything from Mueller. They can go off the Cohen case. I'm not saying they will or should, just clarifying.

You think that is a good thing? This nonsense should be taken away from the states since both parties draw ridiculous districts.

Agreed. Let the voters decide in 2020.

I don't see much happening because I don't think the party is energized enough right now. Although the upset in Mass last night gives me hope that grass roots efforts can get the minorities and the students to the polls.

And given to whom? The congress? Another bad institution. I'm pretty sure that winners draw up the boundaries and the losers have to work harder to get that privilege. I believe that in the constitution, all rights not given to the federal govt are given to the states. Drawing up the boundaries is a legitimate right of the states. The judicial might be overstepping it's right.

Impeach Trump? Trump has a 2% higher ( 44% vs. 42%) approval rating than Obama had at the same time point in their Presidencies.
