People who want Trump impeached are out of touch

Impeachment should always be an absolute last option for a president. But President Trump’s opposition has been calling for impeachment since before he even took office. They seem to forget that impeachment doesn’t actually do anything. Ask Bill Clinton. It is only through a trial that follows can a president be removed but it takes two-thirds majority.

The people who are pushing for this are really out of touch. They believe that this is something that the country wants. That is not true. They need to come to grips with the fact that most of the country does not agree with them. Trump won a total of 2,623 counties to just 489 for Clinton. And 96 percent of people who voted for him will do it again.

Most importantly, these people are out of touch because they still don’t get what the election of Donald Trump was. It was more than just a win over Hillary or Obama. It was the biggest middle finger to the entire political class in Washington. That includes the GOP establishment.

The people were proud to have defeated the Washington elite. If that victory were to be taken away because of bogus trumped-up charges, the people who are passionate about this man will not just be quiet. They will go to war for this president. So for those of you want him gone, be prepared for the consequences if it were to succeed.
