Just because it has the label impeachment? You don't think the witnesses, testimony and evidence are what will get everyone's attention? That's the way it worked during Watergate.

Exactly what I have been saying. DetlefK Apr 2019 #1
Trump has a base of 25 to 30% who don't care what he does and even take delight in the fact that ... Botany Apr 2019 #4

I agree with you, watoos Apr 2019 #3

I like this scenario a lot. gldstwmn Apr 2019 #32
let Pelosi do her job. The hearings underway and timetable to inflict as much damage on trump/gop beachbum bob Apr 2019 #6
trump will not allow investigations. he will tie this up in the courts. it's already happening. spanone Apr 2019 #8
pelosi and the house has lots of power. Give it time as this is no surprise. beachbum bob Apr 2019 #11

What 20 GOP Senators Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #12
We all know there are not 20 GOP Senators willing to vote to convict. honest.abe Apr 2019 #13
And the Senate convicts Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #14
Oh good you finally have moved on to a legitimate argument. honest.abe Apr 2019 #15
And without a conviction Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #16
Sure, he will try that but that wont go very far. honest.abe Apr 2019 #17
If most everyone knows Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #18
Most means more than 50%. honest.abe Apr 2019 #19
And only 34% of the people Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #20
Which is another good reason to start the impeachment process. honest.abe Apr 2019 #21
Don't need impeachment hearings to investigate Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #22
I guess Im fine to start the hearings without impeachment but.. honest.abe Apr 2019 #23
Depend on how long the investigations last. Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #24
My fear is that standard run of the mill hearings alone wont generate the buzz.. honest.abe Apr 2019 #25
That depends on the testimony Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #26
And depends on if people are paying attention. honest.abe Apr 2019 #27
Maybe/Maybe not Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #28
All those issues can be included in impeachment hearings. honest.abe Apr 2019 #29
They don't have to be impeachment hearings Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #30
Not necessarily the same result as "impeachment" carries more weight. honest.abe Apr 2019 #31
More weight in who's mind? Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #35
The mind of the public, the media, Trump, everyone.. honest.abe Apr 2019 #37
So you can read everyone else's mind Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #38
No need for special powers.. honest.abe Apr 2019 #39
Why is it obvious? Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #40
Yes, the label impeachment. honest.abe Apr 2019 #41
Maybe/Maybe not Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #42
No need to convict if he loses the election. gldstwmn Apr 2019 #34
Exactly nt Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #36
I think you missed the point of that post. honest.abe Apr 2019 #43
Yes exactly! nt Trumpocalypse Apr 2019 #44
Ok great! honest.abe Apr 2019 #45
