re: #131 EmmaAnne

I predict that there won’t be an actual impeachment vote, but there will be high-profile hearings to explore what Obama ought to be impeached for. That makes their base relatively happy without raising the profile enough to annoy the rest of the voters.

Agreed. I think they will make a lot of deceptive noise about impeachment but will not risk putting it to a vote in the House.
They would need 218 of the 246 Republican votes in the new House to pass articles of impeachment. I don’t think they quite have it. I

This is especially so when there is no chance at all of a conviction in the Senate. Given the likely nature of the charges, ie obvious horse shit, they would be subjecting themselves to worldwide mockery and condemnation just to score some points with a base that is already fanatically devoted to them.
