The time has arrived for us to worry what might happen if we DON'T impeach the lunatic in the WH

59. Your logic suffers two major flaws.

First, you assume that starting impeachment proceedings necessarily results in a vote on Articles of Impeachment, in time for Pence to ride to the rescue. It does not. It's quite reasonable to assume that a proper investigation into matters as plentiful and of as broad a scope as are relevant here will last all the way up to the election.

And second, you are evaluating the decision of whether or not to begin impeachment proceedings at least in part on the basis of whether or not the GOP will use that particular stick to beat us bloody.

We need to all recognize that even above and beyond securing handouts for the rich, the GOP exists for the primary purpose of beating Democrats bloody. The idea that we can avoid them trying to beat us bloody by not wielding the strongest stick we have available is sheer idiocy.

I urge you to take a good hard long look at the frustration among our base, spanning decades now, with us not fighting with every weapon at our disposal. Now, here, we are faced with a situation in which the Constitution itself very clearly dictates that impeachment is the appropriate remedy. Quite simply, your fear is on the wrong side of this equation, and you should expect that the consequences of not proceeding with impeachment in the face of such overwhelming evidence of it being appropriate, will be far worse than the consequences of us doing our part and being stymied by Republicans being Republicans.
