Biden on impeaching Trump: "I hope they don't. I don't think there's a basis for doing that right now."

If there's no basis for impeaching a president who has disgraced the office and violated our rules and norms, then impeachment is meaningless. I'm tired of Dems being scared.
TO ELABORATE: I'm not saying Dems like Biden need to FOCUS on impeachment. They should talk about why their policies are better. But why be reluctant to state the glaringly obvious, that Trump deserves impeachment? Is it because media elites will frown about Dem "incivility"?
And I don't buy the argument that talk of impeachment will "rile the GOP base." Trump is riling them plenty with talk of liberal mobs and migrant hordes. We should NEVER water down our positions to avoid angering the right. Having the courage of our convictions is SMART POLITICS.
