Billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer wrote a letter to Democrats on Wednesday demanding the party pledge to impeach President Trump if they take control of Congress during the midterm elections next year.

In a letter first reported by The New York Times the California megadonor calls Trump a “clear and present danger to the republic," and urges Democratic lawmakers to "make your position clear" regarding removing the president from office.

“This is not just an issue of Twitter screeds but what it means for a person who has control over our nuclear arsenal,” Steyer said Wednesday.

“I hope you will make your position clear so that Democratic voters who are under constant attack by this administration, know their elected representatives have the patriotism and political courage to stand up and take action.”

2. I would also like to see censuring the members of the electoral college who voted for Trump

They have blood on their hands when they normalized this.

3. Not a good idea to force this. Is he any better than what

Rep donors demand ? As much as we all want to see Trump gone, this is just a hostage to fortune.
