To impeach, or not to impeach

Besides, to quote a line from Godfather 2, there will be no way, Michael - no way that 20 Republicans will cross the aisle and vote to remove Trump from office.

The fact that the Blue posters here can't see the fact that this impeachment debacle is a waste of their political capital is astounding to me.  I also find it hilarious that those who love the Clintons would dare to bring up ethics.  Both are completely devoid of ethics. Chelsea gets a pass only because, as of yet, she remains a private citizen.

But Pelosi isn't Eric the Ignoramus, PBR or even Mr. Horn...she is far more intelligent, not to mention devious, than they are.  My only guess can be is that she expects that if they can drag out their giant nothing burger impeachment which is going no where they may be able to turn off enough independents from Trump to squeak out a victory for Biden or some other appointed candidate.  That is essentially the only way to do it for them.  They can't beat Trump on the economy, on foreign affairs or even ideology (their party's ideology as it exists seems to revolve around creating socialism which is repugnant to Americans and "Orange Man Bad"--in short there is no there there).

Problem is Donald Trump seems to thrive under controversy.  But then again as he said in The Art of the Deal there is no such thing as bad press.
