If there was something "impeachable" against Trump, the Dems and media would've dragged it out already and it would be over with.

To me it's a combination of the Dems intense dislike for Trump, which ironically has kept them from concentrating on the important issues. The battle seems to be who can defeat Trump in 2020 rather than who is the best candidate period. The other half of the coin is Trump himself, incredibly divisive and cunningly using this divisiveness to his advantage. So we have Trump and his enemies alternating between offense and defense, with the Mueller report being the political equivalent of a missed 3-point shot. Still.... with their insistence on having the whole report made public, they're hoping for that offensive rebound and put back for at least 2 points.

What could be four years of sustainable growth and progress, not only economically, but socially and other areas like immigration control, the environment, energy and the infrastructure.... has devolved into a 3-ring circus where the Dems have lost sight of the country's needs as they try with all their might to take Trump down. Trump meanwhile revels in the battle, playing defense and switching to offense..... he lives for this kind of shit.

I've never seen a POTUS where the opposite sides are so frustratingly extreme and unyielding in their viewpoints. It's comical and tragic at the same time. Bottom line is few useful things get done what with all the backbiting, attacking, defending, countless investigations, etc.

What we'll probably see is Trump's opposition FINALLY find something on Trump they can use..... just in time for the next election. What a sham.
The Democrats don't want to impeach Trump. For weeks now they've been ratcheting down the impeachment talk. Pelosi recently said he isn't worth impeaching. They want to run against a wounded trump in 2020 rather than nice boring Mike Pence and four percent unemployment.

The public agree with the Democrats over immigration, healthcare, entitlements and the environment. Which is why it's so difficult to do any deals with Trump. Don't hold your breath.

You've never seen a situation where both sides were so partisan? You're not old enough to remember the nineties then. The head of the GOP intelligence committee holding an outdoor press conference to shoot a watermelon with his personal firearm to demonstrate how he believed Hillary Clinton had shot somebody in the head.


Oh I remember the 90's. It's not partisanship I object to. It's the depths we've descended to. Dems literally using their entire terms to wage a battle against Trump. Some of them have even begun to see the light publicly, saying they (Dems) should concentrate on the issues rather than on bringing down Trump. It's falling on deaf ears for some, though.

As far as Pelosi's comment, when I first heard it, it sounded like a sour grapes comment you'd hear at a playground. Sad to see high profile politicos sinking to the same personal depths as Trump.

You may be right about the impeachment talk being ratcheted down. Still..... Trump has them playing into his hands, for as long as they keep making this term about "getting Trump", they're gonna be caught with their pants down come 2020.
