What records? He made all his tax records public.

No, It would be Trump 2.0 and on a real rampage
You do realize, `ol Al Gore, didn't take over when Bill Clinton was impeached.

well some things he did absolutely do that no one called for impeachment over:
1. Outted Seal Team 6 as the group that took out Obama. many on the right said that was a terrible mistake. the left defended it. It was never talked about as a "Obama giving classified information" because way back then, most Americans understood that the legal power to decide what is and is not classified rests with the President.

2. Exposed clandestine methodology that resulted in the capture of terrorists. He exposed how we were using humanitarian vaccination of children to get genetic data that mapped out where certain terrorists were. that led the Pakistani government to finding a CIA asset in their country... the hero doctor helping us... and tossing him in jail...where he resides to this day. again, see above no one called for impeachment over it because the president gets to do that.

Enter American amnesia we forget what just happened so we can be outraged today.

Not wide spread but it was similar to the pre-Comeygate left cries to impeach Trump.

We already have essentially a bipartisan government. Republicans can't really do anything major without Democrat support thanks to the filibuster. Not only that, but we've had bipartisan government for the last seven years. Nothing gets done.


That won't change either as long as people in government are representing a party rather than those who actually elected them.

Any Republican who called for Obama's impeachment ( I know a few personally ) are just as stupid as all the liberals calling for Trump's impeachment now....


You don't get to impeach the guy in office just because you don't like him.

Because Liberals and the "not my president" crowd can't accept the fact that Trump is president. Even though they say "Anyone who can't accept the results of the election is a threat" (hypocrites). Starting the minute Trump won the election, Liberals (and other non Trump supporters, regardless of political party) have been devising strategies to get him away from the White House. Now that Trump is president, they think they can remove Trump from office and replace him with Hillary. Haven't they took a government class or read the president's successors in the constitution?

Yes I support Trump mostly because I don't want this country to turn into a dumping ground for illegals and refugees, and we end up like Venezuela.
Even if Trump is impeached and removed from the role as President, it will go to his Vice President
Pence. Hillary is not, cannot and will not assume the role of President, if he is ousted. The office belongs to the GOP, and nothing will negate that. You are sounding paranoid and uninformed. Your worries and concern is for naught.

It is yet to be determined if he will be removed or impeached. That is what the investigations are for.
If he is innocent, then he has nothing to worry about.

I have never met anyone who thought that.
