This might be a good strategy by the dems...

it will be interesting to see how much media coverage starts with "Impeached Pres Trump" leading up to the next election. People who vote unfortunately are chinfluenced by endless barrages and it effects their voting. Being from Washington State it doesn't matter because this state would vote for a Lenin/Stalin ticket over Lincoln/Washington. Thus my comment about stupid voters. Rural middle America pulled a miracle last election. I was in shock.PurpleThrobber said:
It is a stupid move - but I disagree that american voters are stupid. They were smart enough to elect Trump when every 'expert' predicted Hillary in a landslide. The experts drink their own Koolaid and dismiss common sense.LebamDawg said:I saw the local chan 13 interview with JaymyaPal or whatever and she said he needed to be impeached because he is a bully. she even said it twice.
Holding the articles in the house they can wait till after the election and if Trump wins while the Senate switches to the Dems - then they move the articles of impeachment forward.
Stupid move imho but american voters are so effing stupid it may work

I join you in your belief that the Electoral College has outlived any usefulness it may have had at one time. Damone tells me Lincoln is a POS, btw.

Yeah, amazing how you came to that decision only after your candidate lost.HHusky said:I join you in your belief that the Electoral College has outlived any usefulness it may have had at one time. Damone tells me Lincoln is a POS, btw.

The electoral college is working perfectly. Just as it was designed. Odd it takes up more space in the constitution than anything else. Guessing the founders thought it important. In their day it was probably vote purchasing they worried about most. Now it's illegals voting.
Amazing how intelligent they were. -
The electoral college is undemocratic in that a candidate who loses the popular vote may nonetheless be elected. That we’ve always known. But it was also supposed to be undemocratic in that the electors would intervene if the people elected an ass clown President; it failed in this essential purpose in 2016. There’s no reason to retain it when it obviously doesn’t function as intended.SFGbob said:

The founders didn't want NY and other population centers dominating the election. Seems to be working perfectly.HHusky said:

I did a word search of the US Constitution and did not find any occurrence of the words 'ass clown' or any derivation thereof.HHusky said:

Is 'ass clown' a high crime or a misdemeanor? Please cite in the US Criminal Code since, again, 'ass clown' isn't an impeachable offense under the US Constitution.HHusky said:
“The [Electoral College] affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States.”PurpleThrobber said:

Hamilton was overly optimistic.
