    Yep, impeachment is a (slightly) more viable strategy, but impossible without major Dem gains in the midterms. Like I’m not even sure there are enough Senate seats up for reelection.

      Unfortunately, impeachment will do little to nothing as it stands. Remember that Trump holds the record for potus impeachment, and is half of all potus impeachments.

      Even if everyone agrees to do it, nothing will actually happen, except a strike on the record, because politicians are cowardly villains most of the time.

        Having impeachment proceedings filed and being actually convicted of the impeachment are two different things. The former is easier and has happened twice for Trump, the latter is harder and hasn’t happened.

        Unless a bunch of the GOP flips the latter is impossible but you never know.

      There are EXACTLY enough Senate seats in play. But Dems need every last one.

      But then there’s Fetterman…
