OH THE DREAMS, THE DREAMS – AT 10:33 A.M. ET:  The Democratic Party, which has the collective maturity of a 12-year-old, dreams of impeaching President Trump.  I have no doubt they'll try.  Then they'll write rap songs about it.  From McClatchy:   

Democratic leaders aren’t calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

But they’re getting closer.

To one Democratic congressman, the president’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey reminded him of the “doomsday clock,” a symbol that warns about the likelihood of nuclear war.

“We should maybe have an impeachment clock,” Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., said on Wednesday. “And if we did, I think yesterday moved us about an hour closer to having that need.”
Pocan said he had thought Democrats in the House of Representatives needed to use the threat of impeachment as a “tool” to make the administration follow the law.

“I would argue this has got to still be on the table as an option, especially if, indeed, there was obstruction of justice by the firing of the FBI director,” said Pocan, first vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

COMMENT:  What dolts.  Even if the House impeached Trump, which simply means to make a formal change, the Senate would have to try him, as it did Bill Clinton.  A two-thirds vote to remove the president would be required to send Trump packing.  Where are you going to get two thirds?  It would take evidence of a high crime.  No president has ever been removed. 

The Dems tried to impeach Nixon over Watergate, but he resigned before action was taken.  The GOP did impeach Clinton, but he was not removed by the Senate.

And let's say Trump were removed.  Pence would succeed him.  He is more conservative and more accepted by the Washington establishment.  What would the Dems prove?

The Democratic world is a fantasy world.  But such fun for the media.
