Exactly. During Watergate, Republican senators like Howard Baker chose fidelity to the Constitution over loyalty to one individual man. But no longer. |
Trump won the electoral college, but not the popular vote, so it was never the will of the American people for him to be president. Now, the majority of Americans think Trump should be removed from office. I doubt Republicans think there will be some enormous groundswell of voters who are outraged about the 2016 election being reversed. It’s just something to say when the facts are not on your side to mount a defense. |
As someone who voted for Trump in 2016, I don’t really think about it as Democrats trying to overturn the 2016 election. I think of it more as an attempt to cancel my vote. Yeah, I take it personally. |
With whom? Someone who didn’t run in 2016? |
When you voted for Trump, you also voted for Pence. You decided, even if implicitly, that should Trump die, step down, or be removed, Pence would be the President. Impeachment and removal is not a coup. It is a constitutional process. Your vote isn't being canceled out. Your guy Pence will still be President. |
And as someone who voted for Clinton in 2016, I think of the electoral college as an attempt to cancel my vote. Which is what it is. Yeah, I take it personally. |
Your vote does not make him above the law. He was impeached for his criminal misconduct. |
I know what’s in the Constitution, unlike your friend above who is personally offended by the electoral college. I voted for Trump to be president, not Mike Pence. In my opinion, any attempt to replace Trump with his VP had better be for a really good reason, otherwise I’ll view it as my vote being canceled. At this point, I see impeachment as an attempt to cancel my vote. |
Extorting a foreign country to aid in your reelection, using henchmen being paid by a Russian oligarch, while illegally withholding congressionally mandated funds should be grounds for impeachment. If it isn't, then our Counstitution is worthless. |
Above all, the Democrats (leaders and their benefactors+henchman) will avoid, by any means necessary, facing up to their own (inadvertent) role in Trump’s victory. They’re covering their butts to perpetuate their grifts. |
Bernie stan demonstrating the horseshoe theory? Far left or far right demonstration of epistemic closure? Inquiring minds want to know. |
I love you clowns that drop jargon without understanding it (‘horseshoe theory’)! The Democratic leadership has failed. But their income+wealth+power depends upon staying in place and not facing their failures. They’ll make up whatever they can to pretend they aren’t profoundly problematic. |
You voted for a fraud and a conman who was helped by his pal putin to win the slavery era EC to begin with. Then he goes on to threaten a foreign country to investigate his political opponent or else they won't receive the financial aid the congress already provided. Would you be fine if obama had done the exact same thing with Romney? |
Is a sitting president not allowed to investigate corruption involving the VP of the prior administration? But whatever, if it hadn’t been this, Schiff & Co. would have found some other pretext for impeachment. |
Do you think any impeachment of the POTUS is an attempt to cancel votes? |
