I wonder how many constitutionally illiterate there are who thought impeachment meant President Trump would then immediately be removed from office?
Sorry, but the Founders protected the people from politicians who would forever engage in impeachment if that were the case. An impeachment is an indictment. There is that famous saying about indicting a ham sandwich, for all the gravity that indictment carries.
The Senate takes that indictment and conducts a trial to determine whether or not the president should be removed from office. It is an actual trial, where, unlike the sham just conducted in the House, both sides can call witnesses, and both sides get to present evidence, and there is the presumption of innocence.
It’s going nowhere.
Concurrently President Trump has done more for this country than any other in our lifetime.
Best economy for decades. Highest stock market numbers ever. Lowest unemployment amongst blacks and Hispanics ever. Trade victories with Japan and China now coming into view.
More equity in NATO cost sharing. Reductions in choking regulations. Court appointments that will stop judicial activist overreach.
All without drawing a salary, and while having to put up with non-stop harassment.
Democrats have wasted their precious time in the House, where they could done so much more. They have succeeded only in wasting our hard-earned money and causing even more division.
2020 will be a landslide.
