Point to think about on Impeachment

I heard George Will on a couple of shows. He said that you have to think about overturning the will of the people from the election. It sounds like such a grave undertaking.

Then, someone pointed out that it would not be overturning the will of the people. The will of the people was 3 million more votes for Hillary. It would be overturning the outcome of the electoral college. The will of the people was clearly for Hillary.

IMO, it would be overturning Russia's electing of Trump. There is no doubt that's how Trump "won." Honeycombe8 May 2019 #4

George Will may not like MF45, but he's still a lifelong untrustworthy republicon operative.

The electoral college already overturned the will of the people. 3 million more votes despite gerrymandering and voter suppression.

No doubt to me, anyway. Were it not for Russia, there would be no "President Trump."

It was not the will of the people or even the electoral college.
