Meanwhile, their attempt at symbolically raising the Confederate flag above the White House will no doubt continue.

As much as the GOP hated THAT MAN, just think how much they'll hate coming back because of THAT BLACK MAN...

That really is the end game for that cadre in the House, with loons like Cruz egging them on.

They'll never be able to get a 2/3 vote in the Senate.

It'll be like the Clinton impeachment - a complete backfire on the Republicans, only the backfire may mortally wound them.

Obama will come out of it smelling like a rose.
