Impeachment a Fitting Precurser to Electoral Defeat


[NOTE: Although I haven't changed the graphic above, I have updated the text of this post to reflect my changed views]

Impeaching Trump would be a satisfying. Even though that would leave Vice President Mike Pence to assume the reigns of power in the Oval Office, it would also be a stain on that possible Pence administration which would need to be elected by voters to have any true impact. Pence is a white-washed version of Trump and an enabler of the corruption and graft of the Trump White House.

So is the best strategy for removing Trump is at the ballot box?  In 2018 voters broke the GOP solid strangle hold on Congress even though the GOP Senate has proved a bulwark for Trump. In 2020, of course, voters could deprive Trump of a second term --making sure Trump is a "Lame Duck" President by the time he leaves office.

Even in the unlikely event that Pence runs in 2024, but I'm betting the contamination he's acquired from serving as one of Trump's foremost brown-nosers will be his downfall.

But back to the impeachment matter: apart from the ballot box impact, I think it sends a message for the House of Representatives to investigate and eventually impeach Trump. The House is the more pure form of Democratic representation of the U.S. populace. I now support Trump's impeachment. Even if it is not ratified by the Senate, it speaks volumes and is a fitting precursor to voting Trump out of office.
