#1 His presidency must be made to be as wearing and painful as possible. Professional ruin would be the desired outcome (25m target). It is likely that Little can be done about him, but others must be discouraged from similar future roles. An example must surely be made.

As copied from the VDH view, but much less eloquently stated.

#2 Donald Trump was a total outsider politically.

That's who the voters wanted. Someone who is not perfect but someone who is not tainted, bought or corrupted by the DC-DS.

#3 Even the New Yorker's now printing articles warning that impeachment is a bad joke -- see historian Jill Lepore's lengthy piece this week on the origins of the term in the 14th century and its evolution through the 17th and 18th centuries.

At this point it's become a bad parody of a show trial.

#4 Actual impeachment has nothing to do with what is going on. They really don't care if he gets impeached. They are building the smear files for his reelection. Their actions, paid for by the inquiry, is only designed to gather sound bites of corruption to be released every time the last sound bite losses interest with the media. We the tax payers are funding the Dems in their 2020 campaign. For example, "A State department diplomate told congress under oath said that Trump did X". Trump now has to prove he did not, then as he is defending himself, "General Y said Trump told him to break the law". And on and on. Now Trump is not campaigning, he is defending himself against all this out of context slander.

#5 Burning down the house. Scorched earth. Why should the Left put up with a facade of democracy when its just power they want? Why should anyone 'obey' whom ever they put in place in Washington? They're removing the last shreds of legitimacy. By any means necessary! They'd rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.

#6 They are building the smear files for his reelection.

Bingo.

Remember, Russiagate had its origins in Hillary's OPPO RESEARCH. Commissioned and paid for by the DNC through intermediaries Perkins Coie, Fusion and Team Steele/Ohr/Walrus/Mifsud/Downer.

This is nothing more than Oppo Research, Part II.

Complete perversion of the process.

Not kabuki, not agitprop, not sinister plots and inductions dangerous, but buffoonish, blatant nonsense wrapped in bullshit. Aka The Shitshow.

#7 The dems are slipping. The borked Robert Bork but not Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch or Brett Kavanaugh. They have a story (all made up, much more vile than slander) and they are sticking to it. Hopefully the electorate gets disgusted enough with it to make them pay.

#8 Impeachment helps squeeze donations out of the zealots.
