re: #93 Aunty Entity Dragon

A GOP win like we are looking at will almost guarantee an impeachment attempt on Benghazi…which will then be used to club Hillary over the head.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, and I’ll eat my hat if proved wrong—-there will be no impeachment.

Some random Republican may introduce a motion but it won’t even come to a vote of the full House, let alone a majority vote that sends it over to the Senate for a trial.

Simple reasons: first, it’s inane. Second, it would set a bad precedent. Third, there is no chance whatever that the Senate would vote to remove. Fourth: it’s politically suicidal.

Republicans won this election on a promise and they’re now on probation. They must deliver something better than the last two years, or go down in flames 24 months from now. It’s a tall order and there had better be some sober reflection before January. We’ll see.
