I am just trying to understand how it reached a fever pitch with media screaming for impeachment.
- api 9y agoFor much of the last 20 years, the opposition party was constantly threatening to impeach the sitting president. It's a symptom of just how unbelievably divided things have become. Personally I think impeaching Trump would be a strategic mistake unless there really is something pressing that requires it-- like he really is objectively selling America down the river to Putin or doing something equally bad. Impeaching Trump would give us President Pence, who is in many ways worse than Trump. It would be better to wait for the likely Democratic landslide in 2018, which will render him a lame duck, and then prep for a "you're fired" 2020 election. Besides, letting this windbag sit in the big chair and make an ass out of himself is probably bad for the Republicans. Give him more rope.
