Basically, there is a school of thought that Democrats just will not impeach...particularly Democrats like Pelosi. They will use a Republican held Senate as the EXCUSE not to impeach. And there is a school of thought that believes allowing Trump to complete his term and continue to be an utter disgrace and disaster is better for the Democrats and the 2020 elections.

In other words just keep allowing Trump to inflict more and more damage on Republicans.

Personally, I believe the Republicans in the Senate just saw Trump as a useful idiot who now that the Democrats have taken the House is no longer particularly useful.

Trump was useful for getting an insane and destructive tax bill passed that funnels money to their wealthy donors and in nominating asshole judges to the Supreme Court that will do nothing about Citizens United if it comes before them and back Republicans on the gerrymandering they want to do.

They got those things through and now Trump serves little purpose for the next two years while there is a Democratic controlled House.

I mean look at this horrific nonsense with Saudi Arabia, the Republican Senate is not backing Trump on "Standing with Saudi Arabia" and allowing them to kill a Washington Post journalist with no repercussions.

They know full well that's Trump putting his interests before the country and the world and they want no part of that.

So, when Trump is going to continue to do and say idiotic and disgusting things and stand with brutal dictators why would the Republicans in the Senate not want to be rid of him?

It's one thing to do a smash and cash grab tax bill...it's entirely different thing to stand with guys like Putin and Saudi Prince Bonesaw over your own country and people.

Plus Trump literally grows more and more incoherent by the day. I mean have you heard the kind of babble he has been spewing lately?

I understand why the Republicans backed him for the first two years but wow, I don't see much reason to back him for these next two.

Trump does more damage to them daily with his own words and actions than ANY Democrat could do. I can kind of understand why Pelosi wants to just leave him in place but I think we need to make an example of him as rapidly as possible. Start the impeachment process when Mueller wraps up and get it on the table. Let the Republican Senators have to go on record where they stand with it.
