Roger Stone on the impacts of an Impeachment of President Trump (Video)
[Real Clear Politics] Roger Stone, a former Trump campaign advisor and personal friend of the president, says if Congress votes to impeach President Donald Trump, there will be all-out Civil War in the U.S.

"The people who are calling for impeachment are the people who didn't vote for him. They need to get over it," Stone said to TMZ in an airport baggage claim on Wednesday this week.

"They lost. Their candidate had every advantage: They spent two billion dollars, we spent $275 million. Sorry, we whipped their ass. It is over. You lost," he said.

He added, warning: "Try to impeach him. Just try it. You will have a spasm of violence --an insurrection-- in this country like you have never seen before... Both sides are heavily armed, my friend."

#2 Things become iffy during a Civil War. It won't be your great grandfather's civil war, but something much more uncivil, much more like the insurgency in Iraq without an Anbar Awakening.

#3 Both sides are heavily armed, my friend."

Somehow, I doubt this. I don't envision the residents of the towns of Brookline, Cambridge, Amherst or Newton heavily armed, except with recyclable grocery bags from Whole Foods.

#4 ...sound like the CIA estimates of Iraq forces (circa 1991), just counting tubes, tanks, and bodies. No concept of quality in the estimate.
