If the Democrats do not impeach everything Trump has done becomes legal.

Obstruction , conspiracy, lying, bribery all become set precedent. Every future president could try and do the same things Trump has done. This is not just about 2020, it's about the entire future of our country.

If they do not impeach Trump it is still possible Trump could win the election. That would devastate the democratic party. I would rather take a chance losing the election upholding the constitution than losing an election by doing the opposite, By doing nothing.

Not just Trump, but EVERYTHING we hold dear.

Let that sink in, people. We have to play hardball and use words like Dictator, Tyranny, FREEDOM in proper context, if we are going to retake the Senate, keep the House , as well as win the White House.

to remove drumpf from office. I have tremendous faith in Adam Schiff and his investigators to get this job done. Nancy Pelosi's leadership and political savvy will bring the criminal so-called President to justice.

They have to wait until Mr. MIA Mueller testifies. Trump ordering everyone to refuse subpoenas is more evidence that Pelosi will use.

For me, not impeaching trump is insane. He is guilty, we have the evidence. He is the most corrupt president in our history and he is dangerous as hell.

But why do you think impeaching him with stop him?

And why, if you agree that Pelosi is building a case for impeachment, would you suggest in your OP that the Democrats are doing nothing?

And that will have a chilling effect on voter turnout.

that they'll let him get reelected.

That makes a lot of sense.
