Hopefully they will impeach him and then Pence will run and win. Even the dems will have a hard time trying to find dirt on him if he wins we could have eight years of political sanity.
I don't think the dems can get enough support to have trump removed.
There seems to be a lot of evidence that biden used his office to get his son out of trouble in the Ukraine but I'm sure it will go under a big rug.
"I don't think the dems can get enough support to have trump removed."
Yes, skud, it's apparent to the majority of Americans that the GOP is okay with supporting a liar, cheat, and possible traitor to America -- a guy who went to a foreign country to get dirt on his political opponent to influence, again, an American election, and who also stated that his political opponent should be put to death for crimes he's NEVER BEEN ACCUSED OF OR CONVICTED!
Also, there is no evidence that Joe Biden was involved in anything criminal in the Ukraine. You've never produced any documented evidence of any such thing. Just posting an accusation on a blog doesn't make it true.
Skud... what evidence? There's nothing apart from FOX contributors saying there is. This has all been investigated and found to be a nothing burger. But you're consistent with you conservative brethren... if there is no evidence, so what... continue to say someone is guilty until folks believe it.
BTW... remember Watergate. Pence may fill Trump's seat, but he'll lose like Ford did in 76.
And now, the Dems are officially opening an Impeachment phase.
Dave, The Ukraine government has said there was nothing illegal done by Hunter or Joe Biden.
If there had been an illegality in what they did, where is the FBI? AFAIK, there isn't an FBI inquiry into this or has there been an FBI inquiry into it. And why did Trump wait until now to talk about it when he's been in power almost 3 years with the DoJ in his back pocket?
An impeachment inquiry is now open on Trump. Let's see how this plays out.
PS, I don't trust Trump to release all of the transcript. He's a documented liar and a cheat. He has no credibility on this.
We need to hear from the whistleblower him or herself on what Trump did.
Impeachment inquiry has begun. It's about time.
"Hopefully they will impeach him and then Pence will run and win. Even the dems will have a hard time trying to find dirt on him"
Hard to imagine a Pence Rally every week, with him yelling 'beat them up!", "Lock her up", "Professional journalists are liars!" - all while wearing a silly red cap.
But, he has the 25% "evangelical" vote. It seems likely the electorate will have to
vote democrat to drain the toxic landfill of coal lobbyists in charge of EPA, scientists and physicians having to leave government because their data and reports
are 'fake', goons legally strutting around with pistols on their hips, while all the customers leave, hordes of unqualified judges getting appointed, national forests opened to clearcutting, mining and drilling, people losing healthcare,
and all those quotes from the bible about the evil of birth control pills. He
can only run on 'If you love the toxic landfill and hate your country, vote for me'
-and with Russian help, evangelicals, FauxNews, big pharma and maybe even Skud, he
might win. ...and be impeached.
BB-Idaho, it's amazing, isn't it, how fierce Trump supporters' loyalty to corruption is.
It's a cliche', but I'll repeat: If President Obama had done 1/16 of what Trump has done, people like skud would be marching in the streets with pitchforks and torches to get him impeached.
For some reason, Trump's corruption and immorality doesn't bother the party of Family Values and Jesus.
I can't figure it out.
