1/Case for Trump's removal I think has to revolve around his unwillingness to adhere to the laws, norms and restraints required to make a democracy work. He is far more a tyrant than a President; his actions are a threat to our whole system; he's blown it, and cannot remain.
2/If it comes to impeachment, list of offenses will be long and extraordinary: self-enrichment, corruption, mismanagement, failure to protect the nation fr foreign threats, encouragement of political violence, obstruction, attacks on public figures, election cheating, lying....
3/Feel like the burden has shifted in recent weeks from those who believe the President must go to those who want him to remain. Why should he stay? Not overturning an election - Pence takes over. Not a king, no right to the Oval Office. Nation has turned on him/unpopular.
4/Founders (& 1998 GOP) had clear expectation President should be held to higher standard than other public figures. No chief executive in Western world w/President's legal problems, public performance would be removed. Bar for POTUS has to be higher not lower than that. End.
4/Founders (& 1998 Rs) had clear expectation President should be held to higher standard than other public figures. No chief exec in Western world w/President's legal problems, public performance would keep their job. Bar for POTUS has to be higher not lower than that (corrected)
