Green (D): If We Don’t Impeach Trump, ‘He Will Get Re-Elected’
2019-05-06
[FREEBEACON] Rep. Al Green (D., Texas) said on Saturday that if Democrats don't begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
, "he will get re-elected."
And if you do, he'll get re-elected.
Green, who has called for Trump's removal from office since 2017 and introduced articles of impeachment that year, told MSNBC that he dismissed the idea that impeaching Trump could help him politically.

"I'm concerned if we don't impeach this president, he will get re-elected. If we don't impeach him, he will say he's been vindicated," Green said. "He will say the Democrats had an overwhelming majority in the House and they didn't take up impeachment. He will say that we had a constitutional duty to do it if it was there, and we didn't. He will say he's been vindicated."

Green added he and fellow House Democrats face a constitutional crisis on the question of impeachment.

Dems see GOP effort to drive them to impeach Trump
“Ma! He’s making me hit him!”

#9  The House impeaches.The Senate can convict and remove an official from office, but only upon a 2/3 vote.

I think the relatively same Democrats realize this, but people like Al Green, Maxine Waters, etc. don't.

#8  If Pelosi had the votes they would have impeached already. I am sure there are a bunch of congress persons behind close doors that tell her impeachment is a bad strategy for their reelection particularly while the senate will not impeach.

#7  Interesting how they never mention what possible grounds for impeachment they have. I suspect they just don't like him.

#6  Green tells us all about what it's all about--impeachment. The Dems are still in denial and afflicted with TDS.

#4  Green's brain transplant is having rejection problems. Future poultry tissue donation screening techniques still lacking.

#3  He'd still get re-elected.
Now, let's see how long it takes for them to escalate to the next and final treasonous step.
