A day may come when Trump goes over the line, when his acts go so far that there is enough support with the public and in Congress to remove him. When and if that day comes, you want to make sure you have the tools remaining to impeach and remove him. As long as you have those tools, it also acts as a check on any president - who will restrain their actions knowing that they could be removed from office for going too far. If you impeach now you will firmly establish that everything Trump has done to date is 100% okay. Trump or any future president will have to go far beyond what he has done so far before there is even any more discussion about impeaching and removing him. That is definitely bad for the country. And if Democrats could think 2 steps ahead, they would see that. Or! And I know this is crazy, but the Republicans could choose not to set dangerous precedents by blindly dismissing charges purely for political reasons. They could do an actual legit look at if what the president has done should be considered okay, and if they dont believe it would be ok for future Democrat presidents to do then they could actually convict. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris <cite>Maniac64 posted [p:931390407] in Politics C...
