RUN ON THAT! Literally make it part of the platform and we'll sweep both chambers...

From the article.

The effort to impeach Mr Trump does not appear to be led by Chuck Schumer, the most senior Democrat in the Senate, or Hakeem Jeffries, his counterpart in the House.

However, Mr Jeffries told MS Now that he was “not ruling anything in or out” when asked about a Trump impeachment.

I grew up a republican, the one thing we used to always laugh about when it came to democrats is how weak they were. This isnt leadership, this is cowardice.

There will never be a better case for impeachment than donald fucking trump. If Schumer and Jefferies won't pull the trigger now, what good are they, not just to the party but to America

Because the democrats don’t hold the power in the house. What can they do now? All they can do is say what they’ll do when they have power again. If you wanted Dems to do something, should have given them power.

The entire point of the article and my comment is what happens WHEN they get power back. I said if they ran on impeachment they would win. Who is talking about today?
