The Founders envisioned citizens elected by their neighbor's to go to Washington and serve their term and go back to the farm. The carreer politician was never intended. I addition to that we have allowed political families to form. These people have a strangle hold on American govt. They intermarry in their elite political class and they all are milking the American tax payer. It's the closest example of perpetual motion to be found in nature. Their kids go to Ivy League schools and are mentored into politics whether they are of hi IQ or idiots. This is the cradle to grave gravy train of the elite political class.
I say let the Dems vote on Impeachment. This is going to open up all kinds of things the Dems don't want public. Dems running for elections in Red States are going to pay. They will get the votes, they are the majority. I think Trump welcomes this and will use it to get the Dem corruption out to the public. Pelosi doesn't want this but they have cornered themselves to point they have to vote. The onlything that can save them is Dems refusing to back impeachment, not likely.
In Trumps defense they will be bringing up the corruption & conspiracy in 2016 election. The impeachment is the end product of the criminal conspiracy that Dems started in 2015.
