Today, the Democratic Leadership led by Speaker Pelosi reaffirmed their intentions to continue Congressional Investigations building on the results of the Mueller Investigation and other potential misdeeds by this "President" and members of his administration.
This due diligence is prudent and wise but Democrats can not if all the evidence calls for impeachment (or censure at the very least), run from it when the time calls to take that vote.
Democrats need to get past the people who say they want to move on from this. Remember Watergate was a two and a half year process as well from the break in to Nixon's resignation. Democrats need to stay focused and perform their constitutional duties (Lord knows most of the shrinking number of Trumpist-Republicans will not help) while also working on passing legislation that will help the American People and move the country forward.
Democrats need to stop being worried about how the Trumpist-Republicans will react if they pursue these investigations. So what if these investigations galvanize his religious hypercritical, obtuse and imbecilic supporters. Remember there are more who support the Progressive Agenda and more who want to vote the Popular Vote Loser out (remember more did not vote for him in the first place) than those who back Individual One. Shame on Democrats if they do not rise to the occasion on election day and turn out to vote in greater numbers (like there are) than the people who support the KKK President. Shame on Democrats if they cower to Trumpist-Republican bullying or Media overanalysis. Remember the only radical Presidential Candidate in 2020 who will take the country further backward is the one endorsed by the KKK and a minority of the American People. It is far better for Democrats to run ads challenging Trumpist-Republicans to defend someone endorsed by the KKK and facing trial at the very least as a Co-Conspirator than along with the ads on the issues the American People support.
It is time to stand up and, like Senator Elizabeth Warren has alluded to, fight for the soul of our country. While issues like healthcare and the environment are very important, deciding what kind of country the United States is equally important and people have to decide whether they are comfortable with an immoral individual with potential criminal tendencies and dictatorial desires as their leader or will they embrace the words of Al Gore who when commenting in 1992 of another incumbent President (George HW Bush), that it was time for them to go.
It is time for Mr. Trump and his psychophants to go.
