This should bring us all together republicans are going to talk about impeachment whether it is

Hillary, Bernie, Martin, or a Martian if it was a democrat, that's just the way that party operates.

They truly believe only republicans should govern.

Bernie doesn't have poor judgement security issues hanging over his head.

Granted, if the Republicans try to impeach her it won't be motivated by any genuine constitutional concern, but the risk is still greater for her than for Bernie. She has too many areas of vulnerability.

with Bill Clinton, then Barack Obama, and preemptively with Hillary Clinton. I see no reason whatsoever to expect it would be any different with Bernie Sanders, in fact, I think it could easily be much worse, as his politics are even more antithetical to theirs.

6. His policies are antithetical to theirs, for sure.

But do his policies rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors? Any talk of impeachment of Bernie just based on his policies — and right after he gets elected — will be seen for the power grab that it is, and roundly condemned.

John Boehner would never seriously do that unless he warranted it. He didn't so the crazy talk was put to bed. Bernie would be same situation.

THE CONSTITUTION. Besides that, Hillary CLINTON is who they hate with a visceral, burning passion...because her name is CLINTON. They will spend every waking moment digging up dirt, wasting millions of dollars and wasting precious resources just to take her down. Look what they did to her just as SOS! Benghazi and emails...endless hearings and investigations. And, she's perfectly fine with putting the country through that - again.

Bernie has no corruption in his background - being the most HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY and ETHICAL politician in Washington D.C., they'll be hard-pressed to find any reason whatsoever to impeach him.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
