    They should stick to Russia collusion, they'd have a better argument than some book report.

    If the House has passed all that legislation, no one knows about it. Impeachment has been front and center ever since the day after the 2018 election. The Democrats in the House haven't talked about their legislation, all they have talked about is their perceived misdeeds of Trump and how he has to go. If the House Democrats don't pay attention to what legislation they passed, instead focusing on Trump, it's their own fault no one knows.

    The Republican House ran into this same problem when from 2011 through 2016 with then senate majority leader Reid tabling over 300 Republican House passed bills. McConnell doing the same thing is just following Reid's precedence if indeed the House has passed these bills.

    As for impeachment of Trump, you're correct, this has been nothing more than a very partisan affair. A one party impeachment. Partisan is the right word when 90% of democrats think Trump guilty of very serious crimes and violating the constitution of the United States vs. 90% of Republicans who think him completely innocent and a victim of a very partisan political vendetta. Sort of revenge by the democratic house for losing an election.

    There's no in-between here. Will this continue, I'm sure it will. Democrats trying to destroy Trump, Republicans trying to save him. In this very partisan political battle, the nation as a whole is totally forgotten by both sides. The only thing Democrats care about is getting rid of Trump, the only thing Republicans care about is keeping him, everything else has been thrown out the window to include doing what is good for the country. Either this political era of our politics we have entered into, the polarization, the divisiveness, the ultra high partisanship must end or this country will be severally harmed if not destroyed from within.

    If Trump wins again and Democrats get control of anything, they will use that as a weapon to bring down the Administration no matter President Trump does. Up to and including manufacturing fake narratives and falsifying evidence and testimony.

    Look what they did once they got the House. Look what Obama did when he had the Presidency.

    Democrats in our government have proved 2 things: 1) They can't govern and 2) When they get power they abuse it to the maximum affect then spend years telling lies and covering up with sham investigations.

    Your assessment of Americans that do not own stocks is incorrect.

    What the left has put this country through over the last three years and you honestly think that the country will allow this to continue when the midterms come around? The ole blue wave is going to be countered by a red tsunami!

    This coming from an independent!

    Giving the alternatives, Trump Indeed is the only candidate worthy of consideration.

    Simple, really.

    I stand corrected. However, all sources agree that stocks probably do not contribute significantly to the average American's income.

    Do you really think that the new Greeter at WalMart now making less than half his old salary is thanking Trump for the "jobs, jobs, jobs" in retail and fast food?

    Also, check how the economy was doing under the FOUR terms of our most successful (in terms of winning elections) President.

    How are the alternatives so bad? Just the 3 frontrunners, to make it easy.

    You lose the minute you start talking about the economy. With respect to unemployment numbers for all races, I will refer you to my search engine suggestions

    Wrong. Impeaching a president for breaking a law that already has explicite legal remedies is abuse of their power.

    WTH are you talking about?

    A sitting president isn't subject to "remedies" (just what do you suppose those "remedies" even are?); the "remedy" for a President who routinely breaks the law is impeachment.

    Ohh lets see. Paperwork, phone calls, texts recorded conversations.

    Things that aren't circumstantial, things that require no assumptions.

    LOL... only for someone who decided he was guilty the day he announced he was a candidate.

    And I will refer you to unemployment numbers for 1932-1940. A good economy is not ALL that a President is expected to provide, indeed, going by how FDR fared presiding over the Great Depression it's not that important at all. Even in the 1930's it seems, Americans were knowledgeable enough to realize that the President was a peripheral factor at best in the economy. Most Presidents, I have noticed, realize this and don't try to take THAT much credit for a good one or base ALL their appeal on it. Some, however, really don't have anything else
