Given the President’s latest actions I think impeachment is the right path forward. Asking foreign leaders for political help in return for aid and then suppressing your own agency’s inquiry is egregious. There have to be limits and Congress is right to act.
A reminder that successful impeachment requires a majority vote in the House and then two-thirds in the Senate. Given that there are 53 Republican Senators one would need 20 of them to support impeachment to be successful. That is highly unlikely unless there is some huge shift.
Still I agree that moving forward is for the best. It will enable a more thorough investigation that may unearth new details. And it is an appropriate use of Congressional authority as established in the Constitution. Sometimes you do the right thing independent of politics.
If impeachment isn’t successful my plan is to beat Donald Trump at the ballot box in 2020. 👍💪🇺🇸
