    A big "do over" would be nice. In a way, the country could file for bankruptcy, and start fresh.

    I would rather see Trump be voted out. That would hurt his ego more. He couldn't claim witch hunt then. As it is, the Dems in the house are taking a risk, I hope it pays off. Doing what is right is important and worth such risks.

    You would think this to be true, but if Trump is voted out, there is no way he let's it impact his ego because he will claim witch hunt on that too. It will be a fake election, fake results, witch hunt, fraud, etc blah blah blah. He will never accept defeat. So, I say fuck him, impeach him, and he stays in office, then he gets voted out, then he goes to jail.

    I don't expect he'll admit it, but it will hurt his ego. He cry about it in his tweets. Hopefully, he doesn't try to stay in power when he loses. Accepting defeat is not his strong suit.

    That seems to be what the order of things will be from here on out. Democrat House will impeach him. Republican Senate will blow him. He will get voted out next year. The New York State prosecutors will be waiting for him.

    In my opinion, he won't be impeached as the senate will save him, but with that being said, it almost needs to be done to reset the standards of what the presidency should be than what this guy has done to bring the standards to an all time low. Hopefully this next election will take care of what the republicans refuse to do and that's holding this guy accountable. What would rely be funny is if the dems took over the senate and maintain the house and trump was voted in as president. It would be funny to hear don the con squeal when the democratic senate majority leader state that he will do anything within his power to keep trump from passing any of his agenda like Moscow Mitch did with Obama.

    Wow!
    It is painful to see such advanced cases of TDS.
    Dang! I see it is not treatable either.

    I think because he and his attorney admitted, then are on audio tape, blatantly committing a crime. You can’t tell a foreign country to do you a favor or you won’t give them US money.

    You also can't tell a foreign power to investigate a political rival and therefore interfere with an election for personal gain.

    That's not the way the administration is going to spin it. They'll say that the Justice Department was concerned that Biden may have committed a crime and Trump was asking for help in determining if that was the case. I'm not saying I believe that, but just pointing out that this whole thing isn't going to go straight down along Democrat Party talking points.

    I don't think that there's any smoking gun in the transcript that says that happened. Scroll down on the link below to read the full transcript:

    Of course they are going to spin it. Doesn't make it any less true

    Conversely: impeaching Trump saves the sane 70% from the crazy 30% who wield outsize influence.

    Is it the full transcript though? It's not even a transcript in reality. Also someone analyzed it and said that the discussion in the 'transcript' would normally take 11 minutes. But the call lasted 30 minutes. Maybe they talked real slow?

    No it isn't. It is some pretend dictation of it. Have you read it. Sounds like Trump is talking to himself.
