The articles of impeachment they drafted are literally "abuse of power" and "obstruction of Congress"?!?! First of all, neither of those are crimes to the average voter. I can't be arrested for "abusing power" or obstructing Congress. Secondly, think about the optics on this one. Congress is one of the least popular institutions in this country. Your average voter is going to read the headline and wonder what the hell the big deal is. It all just SOUNDS like Trump was doing his job and Congress didn't like it, not that he was commiting extortion, bribery, etc. I am just flabbergasted how out of touch these people are politically. I think Democrats just want to get this over with. They know they cannot remove. It's not really inflaming independents, especially in the swing States. And, moderate Democrats are getting antsy in republican districts that impeachment could cost them their seats which is why the big usmca push by moderate Democrats is happening now to try and let them point to that as their achievement and distract from the impeachment process. Democrats will impeach Trump which should make them happy. Republicans will still have their president exonerated of crimes. And everyone in theory should be happy. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Bloodstained <cite>Corrik7 posted [p:931367623] in Politics C...
