President Trump should definitely be impeached. It will ensure that he will be reelected.

The Senate must also vote on the articles of impeachment that the House sends to them. Since there is no chance that he will be removed from office, it is imperative to the home folks that every senator have his name on record.

Kind of worried cause things are not looking too good for him.
Do not be fooled by the (Operation: Mockingbird) corporate media. Remember the countless times when things were "not looking too good for him" and he came out unscathed. Facts trump (pardon the pun) propaganda. The truth will come out, and he will come out on top. He always does because none of it is real.

If they had the evidence, they would hold a vote to authorize a real impeachment inquiry and hold it in public with the accused given the right to cross-examine his accuser(s). A "whistle-blower" that doesn't want to even testify in open court and expects his written "testimony" of things other people said to remove a sitting president from office? Patently absurd. What you see on TV is a circus of lies invented for your distraction.

The Democrats have tried to impeach every republican president since Eisenhower.

Actually the House ALONE impeaches a President, as they did with Bill Clinton who WAS impeached.

The Senate then decides if it will hold a trial. It did not hold a trial against Clinton, and though impeached, he wasn't removed from office. The Senate could also elect to have a trial, and even then 2/3rds of the Senate has to vote to remove a President from office.

So essentially, an impeachment by the House is the equivalent to an indictment. It carries no weight of conviction or punishment. NO President has ever been removed from office through impeachment.
Actually President Clinton did have a trial in the Senate. It began Jan 7, 1999 and concluded Feb 12, 1999. He was not even close to being found guilty on any of the 4 articles of impeachment. You are correct in saying that an impeachment in the House carries no weight of conviction or punishment. It is all a dog and pony show catering to the base of the respective political party that chose to pursue impeachment. Total waste of time and resources.

Excellent analysis of the general impeachment process regardless of what side starting it.

Schiff pushed Volker to say Ukraine felt pressure from Trump
by Byron York | October 16, 2019 04:00 PM


In a secret interview, Rep. Adam Schiff, leader of the House Democratic effort to impeach President Trump, pressed former United States special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker to testify that Ukrainian officials felt pressured to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter as a result of Trump withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine.


Volker denied that was the case, noting that Ukrainian leaders did not even know the aid was being withheld and that they believed their relationship with the U.S. was moving along satisfactorily, without them having done anything Trump mentioned in his notorious July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

When Volker repeatedly declined to agree to Schiff's characterization of events, Schiff said, "Ambassador, you're making this much more complicated than it has to be."

...

Much of the coverage of Volker's testimony focused on his opening statement, which made its way to the media. (Washington Post headline: "Volker defends Biden as 'man of integrity' in testimony to Congress.") But there was much more to the testimony than the opening statement. Among other things, it showed how Schiff, as a powerful chairman in charge of impeachment, pursues his theory of the case even when a witness gives testimony that does not support it.
