I'm not what the connection is between politics and the will of the people.
There isn't always one. But in this case, Leftists are nothing if not self-interested. They will not plunge into impeachment if Americans are so strongly opposed. It will backfire in the voter's booth, which effects THEM.
in the months b4 impeachment hearings started for nixon, the sentiment was the same. however, once the televised hearings began, showing the evidence to the american people , attitudes changed & (R)s knew that nixon was indeed a crook because the 'evidence' reflected that.
& that needs to happen now.
there is no evidence.
people keep referencing watergate and then spin off to some bullshit that has nothing to do with it. it only shows they're using watergate like racist, nazi and the like - effect. reality need not be a part of this.
lets have a history lesson:
Watergate scandal - Wikipedia
"The term
Watergate, by
metonymy, has come to encompass an array of clandestine and often illegal activities undertaken by members of the Nixon administration. Those activities included such
dirty tricks as
bugging the offices of political opponents and people of whom Nixon or his officials were suspicious. Nixon and his close aides also ordered investigations of activist groups and political figures, using the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as political weapons.
[3]
The scandal led to the discovery of multiple abuses of power by members of the Nixon administration, the commencement of an
impeachment process against the president,
[4] and Nixon's resignation. The scandal also resulted in the
indictment of 69 people, with trials or
pleas resulting in 48 being found guilty, many of whom were top Nixon officials.
[5]"
using the FBI, CIA and IRS against your opponents.
find me an example of trump doing this that would spawn this term / label being applied to him. he never bugged/wiretapped anyone and has not used our agencies against his political opponents.
100% swing and a miss to apply this term to trump. so unless you can show me where he has done this, you're using WATERGATE as an emotional ploy and are either 100% ignorant of what it was about or know and choose to mischaracterize it for your own emotional gain.
now shall we look at obama being accused of each and every one of these direct actions, apples for apples?
i'll provide examples of obama's actions and wait patiently for you to do the same for trump.
