However much the dread, the Democrats have to impeach.

They have to defend our Constitution and our rule of law.

Just as you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink, so it is with the Republicans that stand behind Mr Trump. It is their decision whether to defend Mr Trump over our Constitution. It is their decision whether to approach the process in a serious, conscientious way or to attack it as nothing more than partisan politics. That is their choice.

The Democrats have no other choice. They must do their duty and hold this White House accountable, within their power to do so. They do not have the power to convict. That is up to the Republican-majority Senate. They can ignore the Constitution and the rule of law if they choose.

Both Parties will have to defend their positions in the next election. Democrats understand that. I am not sure that Republicans yet understand that?

Much can happen in a year with an unpredictable Commander-in-Chief and a corrupt White House. The situation and circumstances could be much different in November of 2020? But the Democrats will be ready to defend their position.
