I used this once, already.  I'll use it again.  And as a counter-point:

Why @SpeakerPelosi is holding the line against impeaching @realDonaldTrump. My colleagues and I interviewed 15 “frontline” (endangered) centrist Democrats — mostly freshmen who flipped GOP seats. Just one favors opening an impeachment inquiry. https://t.co/ldiOA9Hjj5

The Democrat in the district just south of me (by about half-a-mile) turned out John Culbertson, a long-term GOP incumbent.  She didn't run on impeaching Trump, and I don't hear any clamor now around me to impeach him.  These 15 are dancing with the ones what brung 'em, despite what Twitter and the intertoobs say.

.....news is that at the end of 6 years, after America has been made GREAT again and I leave the beautiful White House (do you think the people would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA GREAT), both of these horrible papers will quickly go out of business & be forever gone!

The fun part about that is the parenthetical.  He's going to be very surprised when the people not only don't demand he stay longer (why does he think over 20 Democrats are running to replace him?  Because there is no support for them but they have independent means to burn?), but cheer when he is prosecuted for his crimes.

I can dream, can't I?

And not to put too fine a point on it, but:

Do you really think this guy is going to lead the Senate in removing Donald Trump from office?
