I don’t think you are giving enough consideration to how the media reports on the Democrats talking about impeachment and holding Trump responsible.

They always put it into split politics context because the Democrats get no support from any single Republican. So it all becomes party politics and this country needs to move past that and work together, blah, blah, blah.

I think the Democrats are being cagey. If they get the goods I think they will make the move. But it has to be almost 100% irrefutable or it will get played as politics, not needed to protect our constitution.

As a matter of fact, when was the last time you heard anyone in the media say anything about the strain Trump is putting on the Constitution?

Yeah it sucks. But it is not good times in the political world.

You are so right.

When the GOP impeached Clinton, most of the public certainly treated it as a wholly political affair, even though much of the media either supported the GOP action or favored his resignation. At that time, USA Today proclaimed

But the legal skirmishing misses the central question: Has the president so failed in his duties to the nation that he should leave office?

The answer to that question is yes, and the time for the president to leave is not after months of continued national embarrassment, but now. Bill Clinton should resign.

Not because he is unquestionably guilty of any specific criminal offense, though he may well be. Not because of his sexual behavior, as disgraceful as it is. And not solely because of Starr’s report, which is far from an impartial judgment. He should resign because he has resolutely failed — and continues to fail — the most fundamental test of any president: to put his nation’s interests first.

Do we hear any newspapers urging Trump’s resignation even though his behavior of placing his personal financial wealth first is clear to all? Even though we have repeatedly seen his mockery of his oath of office?

The evidence on these serious charges has to be so apparent to all that even the WSJ and Fox News cannot dismiss them.
