In the best of circumstances, in my opinion...

The Democrats could use the impeachment issue as an "insurance policy".

Especially if the economy turns south.

The country would be hard-pressed to withstand both a recession and an impeachment at the same time. It would be difficult.

With that in mind, the Democrats insurance policy would be to use the Courts and Congress' power to investigate, to determine whether or not Donald Trump should be impeached? They should be ready to impeach immediately after the election, assuming Donald Trump were to win the Presidency and the Democrats were to keep the House?

That would be one strategy that would make sense if they choose not to impeach at this time? Donald Trump is not going to get religion or experience some sort of great transformation between now and January 2021. It is a matter of national security that he be removed.

Perhaps that is their plan??

...what right do they have to remove him?

But, the people did not elect him the last time. The Electoral College elected him.

If that were to happen again, he would not be a legitimate president, in my opinion. The majority cannot continue to be ignored.
