(14,181 posts)One very good moment would have been when Mueller wrote that letter refuting Barr's conclusions that Mueller had no reservations, and had declared Trump innocent of everything.
Do it with bluster. Even if you have to invent your anger and passion. It seems some Democrats are loathe to show emotion. While Republicans get red in the face, on command, over a tan suit or dijon mustard.
IMO the longer we wait, the more difficult it will be. The best time has passed. I get the impression that Nancy and Chuck do not want impeachment ever. They think we can win just based on Trump's ineptitude and negative numbers. They are willing to allow Trump to rule for another year and a half, and take whatever more damage he does. Convincing themselves that they are doing what is right for the country by putting party ahead of country, which I think is whack. We might win in 2020, but the danger of the GOP cheating their way to another victory is too great IMO. Can you imagine trying to impeach AFTER he wins another term? The Democrats will have no leg to stand on. They will be laughed off the hill. No mandate to do anything. Even the MSM news will scoff at that "too little too late" situation. That risk is way too great. We must impeach NOW! Or at least after yet another huge gaff that we can exploit as the "last straw"
